Things to bring to an uncharted island?

Asked by sanchezjk (153points) November 9th, 2010

If you were to be sent to a deserted island that contained a convenient food source and nothing else, who and what would you bring? You have the option of bringing only 3 people and 3 separate items. The food source would sustain you and the other 3 people you bring. The 3 items cannot be anything that could possibly help you off the island in anyway whatsoever. What and who would you bring; why?

Crap, crap, CRAP. You just can’t survive on a beach with three items…the sand fleas or the crabs will eat you alive…and then there’s that sun. Crap. I’m taking a large tarp so I can collect fresh water. An axe to hack down something to build a shelter with. There had better be something on that island to build a shelter out of!!!!! And now it’s between the fishing gear or a good knife….hmmmm…decisions decision…..give me a good knife…maybe I can make myself a net out of the flora and fauna. Do I have to bring 3 people? OMGAWD….better make it two men and another woman…an uglier woman. LOL
This way I can be gracious and share.

Can’t make it work. Anything I would bring would help me get off the island eventually.

I would want a leatherman, A tarp, and 500 ft of braided decoy line.

Condoms, dish detergent, and a Bible.

@WestRiverrat You are just so right about this….you bring certain items and they are going to make it possible for you to build a raft and set sail off that iceberg!

Something to draw with, like a big notebook and a pencil, and a machete.

Considering I could ferment some of the undying food source found on the island, this means I don’t have to bring as much booze as humanly possible?

If I could find them, three hot chicks from fluther who would be willing to be in my harem. Then some lube, a dildo, and handcuffs. You wouldn’t be able to get me to go home even if you were willing to provide the transportation.

Not that I’d find the ladies, but then, this is all hypothetical anyway, so it’s not as if I’d ever be on the island. A guy can fantasize, can’t he? ;-)

@coffeenut the food source will sustain your life. Lets go crazy and say that it’s a magic fridge that gives you any food you can imagine including water and other drinks.

Haha all these responses are great!

@Symbeline oops. I was not supposed to let that out in public ;-)

@Fiddle_Playing_Creole_Bastard What you gonna do with those things?....rewash the condoms so you can use them again and use the Bible as toilet paper?
