Stranded on a Deserted Island ... What Would You Take?

You are allowed one work of literature, one food type (eg flour, rice, pasta etc), one box of the same canned food (eg canned tomatoes), one tool (hammer, saw, Swiss army knife),  and one item of clothing apart from what you are wearing.  


 


You can assume a plentiful supply of fresh, drinkable water, materials to build rough cooking facilities (eg a bbq), lots of driftwood, fish, palm leaves to make a shelter.


 


You will be rescued in about 2 weeks.  


 


I'd take LOTR, rice, canned tomatoes, and a state of the art Swiss army knife and a long warm coat.

Allie ... er ... sometimes ... usually ... most of the time ... but, if I really really really like them ... if they're "hot" ... then maybe not.  


 


Do you fine non-returners?

Mugssy, Bear Grills is funny, isn't he?  


 


Yep, an exchange is fine (although I don't have fond memories of that).  


 


A torch is a good idea ... 


 


I would NOT advise eating your Aunties chicken .. But, you might want to list it on eBay.  It could be worth a fortune by now.

I'm sitting here eating pistachio nuts, Freddie.  


 


I'd take them to the island, except I wouldn't want to leave ... so addictive.  


 


Cue, Katy and Freddie


And pistachio nuts


Along comes the rescue boat


And, we hide in our huts.

If the rescuer was as previously described, I would NOT be hiding in my hut!


 


I am the most disorganized person ever, therefore, I would have forgotten to pack anything, so you all best make sure you have spare stuff for me! :^O

You'd better hope the rescuer comes along quickly, Lis ... you're all on your own there ... 


 


However, you've made me rethink my position ... I might have to jettison Cue and Freddie if I'm close to running out of chardonnay and rice 😉

Are the cans pop tops? I hope so, or I'd have to waste my tool choice on a can opener. 


 


 


Book- Gone with the wind


 


Boxed food- pasta


 


Canned food- fruit.


 


Tool- Hacksaw. I can use a big rock as a hammer. Matches are a close second. Toothbrush is number 3. 😛


 


Clothing- Big warm down coat(also used as a blanket). 


 


pasta=carbs fish=protein fruit=vitamin C. I'm good. I don't need dairy, as it doesn't sit well with me anyway. I'm going to miss chocolate. 😞
