    this is what you are given, what you can choose from and what's prohibited

    I would choose the slingshot, modified to shoot the 6 arrows, the saw, the 2 qt canteen cup with hinged (haftable) lid, 3 broadhead arrows, 3 fishing arrows. I"d haft one of the broadheads for use as a knife, All arrows to have slip-on rubber fletching, cause feathers are worthless when it's damp. whitle a string release and make some baked clay balls for targets not worthy of an arrow. Rocks wont fly straight.

    The gill net, the hammock (preferably a 2 person, 11-fter made out of 7 strand paracord, the fishline and the 25 hooks, the gorp, the ration of sugar and salt, the optional 12x12 tarp ( a 20x20 and 10x10 tarp are given to you) and a 6" roll of 2" wide duct tape. If you can last 3 months, you'll win half a million $, clearing 350k. If you know what to do, this win can retire you.

    the gill net is too small and its mesh is too small to be of much help. ASAP, unravel it (and the hammock) and use the cordage to make several 3 ft x50 ft nets, with 5" mesh. Use splits of willow shoots, vines, pine roots to weave the mesh down to 2.5" size. String it along the bank, moving out into a V configuration (the bank foruming one leg of the v) and bait the apex of the V. Now and then, wade out to your end stake, splashing to drive the fish up to the apex. drag the net end over to the bank, forming a bag with all the caught fish in it.
