If you were stranded on a deserted island, what is one thing you would have with you?

Asked by hungertoragejr (266points) January 14th, 2010

If you were stranded on a deserted island in the middle of nowhere and some random fairy dude came up to you and said… “You may have one thing to please you on this island, what is your wish?” What would you ask him to bring to you?

A charged cell phone with reception so I could call someone to get me off this damn island.

I would need a laptop and some wifi….lol. I could figure out how to live on the island with just that.

A boat. If that’s off limits, a date who likes walks on the beach.

@hungertoragejr – That is so wrong on so many levels. :-)

One good thing being on a desert island. No technology.

Me, I’d take maximum advantage of the situation by NOT having a phone, laptop, portable TV or any other piece of technology that makes peace, quiet and privacy impossible these days anywhere but on a deserted island. I’ll I would need would be enough food, water and good books to sustain me.

Condoms.

myself and dental supplies.

@AstroChuck Think you’re going to get lucky with a dolphin?

wundayatta's avatar

Depends on whether she would make me stay on the opposite side of the island or not.

shego's avatar

I would ask for a house so I don’t have to go back home.

lilikoi's avatar

That depends. What is the weather like on this island? What is the food supply like? Not enough info for me to give a real answer.

Assuming a supply of fresh water to be a given, a Swiss Army Knife; or a Leatherman

CMaz's avatar

Instead of a deserted island. Could it be a desserted island?
Because then I would have all I needed.

janbb's avatar

@ChazMaz If that were the case, all I would need would be a spoon!

CMaz's avatar

@janbb – I just spit my drink! LOL
