So if you were really stranded on a deserted island

1. An iPod filled to the brim with music 2. Matches 3. A hat 4. A water filtration system (in case there's no fresh water) 5. A knife

oohhh... a survival expert niiiiiice!.... I'd bring.. (a survival expert if I had thought of it, but since I didn't....) 1) flint 2) a detailed book on edible wild plants of the region.... 3) A leatherman (multi-purpose tool), not a man made of leather, though that could be interesting. ;) 4) a Tent... I can't stand being eaten by mosquitos..... 5) a DELUX First Aid Kit.

a satellite phone 1) a great tent with mosquito netting, 2) fishing spear and gogs 3) the ultimate swiss army knife including fire starter 4) teva's 5) a large duffle bag containing nylon clothes, my favorite type of hat, jammers Originally posted by SwiminONandON The Gilligan's Island thread (aka the soap opera thread) got me thinking ... If you were really stranded on a deserted island what five items would you bring with you (no cell phone reception so smart ***'s don't try)

I'd bring: 1 - a lighter 2 - good shoes (good as in well made running shoes not Manholo's) 3 - goggles 4 - a Swiss army knife 5 - rubber bands

I'd bring--- 1) a survival expert 2) a trunk of designer clothing 3) a knife 4) a tarp 5) a magnifying (sp) glass

If you come prepared with selected items, are you really "stranded"? I would bring a genie in a bottle loaded up with the full three wishes. :)

A handsome survival expert that is also a maseusse! Who knows when I'll be rescued! Hell, who wants to be rescued? :p

1. surfboard... my island is Oahu! 2. a herd of cattle... I like steak. 3. two beautiful women... one to help me repopulate Oahu, the other to get up with all those damn kids at night so I can still work on repopulating Oahu with the first one *having covered surfing, food, and sex there doesn't need to be a 4 or a 5; 4. but what the heck, the entire Ginsu knife set 5. flint and steel, I was a Boy Scout when I was younger :) Patrick Duggan ***see what I have to live with?! :p -Karen

1) The Boy Scout Manual (lots of outsdoorsey survival advice). 2) Flint & steel (I liked the magnifying glass, but what if it's cloudy? Matches & lighters run out.) 3) Tubing and other hardware to make a still (no, not that. You need a renewable way to make fresh water. But, it does have dual-use possibilities...) 4) The aforesaid swiss army knife. 5) A box of flares, rockets, something that makes a really spectacular visual and thermal image, FAST, if you spot a potential rescue craft near your island.
