Stranded on a deserted island

[d_marsh]

This isn't hard, pick your 4 items. Feel free to explain why you would choose them or why you didn't choose something else.

 

[Cabin Fever]

Little cocktail umbrellas, an outdoor chaise lounge, suntan lotion, and a fan.

You did see the 5 oz of weed right?

I guess it would depend somewhat on if the deserted island was in a hot or cold climate. For me the top 4 items would be; Tarp, fishing pole, matches and knife.
The tarp could make shelter, fishing pole for food, matches for fire and knife for cutting stuff.

Knife, hand saw, matches, water purifier! Knife: cutting vines, killing and preparing varmints for eating, shaving wood for fire. Hand saw: cutting wood for fire, making shelter, making a raft. Matches: yes I can make fire without them, but why not make it easier. Water purifier: again, just easier!!

I am banning myself from seriously answering this question. You see, we are halfway through watching the TV series, "LOST." All the correct answers are in the TV series.

On the other hand, a volleyball would be nice if I was alone. It would give me someone to talk to.

Tarp, knife, pot, water purifier.

not enough information, what sort of island? Where is it? Is there wildlife on it? Does the rifle come with ammo?

The kind surrounded by water, on Earth, yes, of course. Good luck!

1 - knife
2 - tarp
3 - hand saw
4 - rope
Optional would be 5 - fire starter of some kind

Knife is most important of all, can be used for making all manner of creations, including making weapons and other tools.

Tarp for wearing, shelter, traps, storage, hammock, hanging things inside of it for protection from invasive things on the ground, collecting and channeling rain water.

Hand saw for cutting through wood, roots, husks, large bones and joints, some types of crustacean shells.

Rope for hanging things up, aid in climbing and descending trees or rock faces, anchoring things, making fasteners out of it. Helpful until such time as new ropes can be made from resources on the island.

I'd choose the fire starter if it was a 5th option as it would help make it easier to start a fire in an emergency situation, such as if your 24 hour banked fire gets put out by circumstances beyond your control.

ok then I want the rifle, the tarp, the knife and the pot
( and I will take the weed when nobody is looking

 

[Biggkidd]

Tarp, cooking pot, knife and handsaw. At first I had a hard time deciding between the rope and handsaw. But a crafty / handy person can make rope.

A tarp has to many uses to list but two are fresh water catchment and shelter. The cooking pot will hold water cook food and purify water. Knife and saw should be known here and should not need explanation

Why was a woman not included in the items?

I agree with Tarp, Cooking Pot, Knife, & matches

#1....Raft...as long as it had repair kit and pump.....gives me mobility to scrounge shoreline better to start gathering up supplies washed ashore. Mainly rope,nets and all types of cordage etc. Can island hop hopefully too.Run halibut lone line and gill net and more.Flip raft upside down for cover at night till get some better cover over me.

#2...water purifier...thats a katadin in picture...good long term solution...need water daily and for me multiple times a day....with it i dont need pot or matches...just gather up plastic bottles from shore...we humans have littered the planet a plenty...start filling bottles...or drink from pump directly as i move about island.

#3...rifle and plenty of ammo....deer and moose....if theres coastal brown bear...i want it to defend against them...they aint no joke...375h&h or 300win mag....no bear.....then 06 is fine.

#4...knife...gutting and butchering deer and more.

Would like to have that big first aid kit...i am an axe or hatchet guy too...but not on list.

Find water to drink first and then get to recon the shore.Find area with the most flotsam and set up camp and get to making gill nets,handline and making hooks(wooden halibut hooks first) and more.

p.s. i would want my @Sourdough super dupper teton -35 sleeping bag.

I'm going to presume a nice climate island.. Populated with a whole bunch of naked native girls that can't run very fast... This because I can't run very far...

 

[Tirediron]

this is a bogus contest, there is no Fiskars x25 axe

 

[Mountain trapper]

Does Maryanne come with the island? I mean as she was back then.

 

[Tirediron]

Ok boots, decent work boots not hiking boots, the Axe as spec'ed, the water purifier. rifle.

 

[Tirediron]

Does Maryanne come with the island? I mean as she was back then.

Hey stop asking my questions

 

[Snowman]

1) Boots : Gotta protect me Toes...
2) Hand saw : So I Can CUT stuff...
3) Flare Gun : 6 Projectiles to show where I am if a passing boat is by or at least 5 projectiles for killing something large...
4) Tent : if I have to find another place to stay out of bad weather a tent would always be easier to put down, move than making new lodging...Can always saw a stand in a tree and mount the tent Up...!!!

I don't want a woman!! How about some man slaves??

People, the term "deserted" island is pretty clear. No chicks, no dudes. You might be able to catch a pretty or handsome fish however, so you should select fishing rod.

 

[LadyLocust]

I don’t see any peanut butter on that list. I’m outta here. Gonna find me a real island.

There is a list of thing one can bring or have there ... men or women should be on the list!

While Marsh is on the island I'm going to his apartment!!
