Okay, so everyone on CS is invited to live for a year on a deserted island in the middle of an ocean ..........

You can only take 3 things with you ...... what will you take?

There is water on the island. Tropical climate.


idea And you have to carry what you bring .... you will be dropped off and have to wade to shore.

No-one fancies being ship-wrecked on a tropical island?

Well, I do.

And what I`ll take with me is ...... a mirror, a tweezer, and a bag of seeds.cool

I'd be a hopeless companion, most of what I came up with requires electricity! laugh

So Smoky, explain your choice. wave

Hhaahaha ... Janie ...... you need electricity? I`m guessing you want to take your hairdryer ....? ... Mobile phone ... laptop....? Electric blanket? Kenwood ....? Hi-Fi..?

For me, Mirror, can use it for signalling for help (if needed), check out my appearance, start a fire, blind any beasties, etc.

Tweezer? To pull out splinters, unwanted hair (enough free time to while away doing my legs!) maybe use it to disect any edible creatures after cooking.

I`ve forgotten what my third choice was. Oh yes, seeds! A bag of mixed seeds. Vegetables, fruits, and Marijuana seeds. (The hash to feed to what is about to be slaughtered - plus its a healthy plant to encourage growth in other plants - well that`s my reason and I`m sticking to it) grin

I thought this was going to be a thread about duck tours on the Mersey?


If I were to be shipwrecked on a tropical island, there's only one thing I'd need to be perfectly content: a 3 masted schooner.

1. A knife.......
Why?

Immediate protection and self-defence while you construct more suitable weapons.
The ability to quickly sharpen a strong stick to make a spear for hunting and for protection.
The ability to gradually and carefully build a handmade bow and arrows.
The ability to cut vines and/or animal hides into thin strips to use as cord so you can make or build things.
The ability to cut and build a variety of primitive traps and snares to capture wild game.
The ability to properly skin an animal and slice the meat into thin strips to cook.
The ability to properly scrape and prepare a skin so it can be tanned into a useful buckskin.
The ability to convert a buckskin into a nice pair of moccasins.

2. Fire starting Kit
Why?
Self explanatory.

3. Stainless steel canteen.
Why?
You can use it to store/boil water for purifying/cooking/drinking.
