Driving home today on the A1 and her indoors asks me what id take so I said id take her ! she replied what about the children ? so now its you can’t take people or any electrical items or items that generate power of any sort !

Im still at a loss as to what Id take so feed me some inspiration !

She said she would take her tea pot ! (you can always make tea out of some leaves on the island apparently ) or get Kevin Mcloud to bring some…

Spoon

Some fishing gear.

Fleshlight.

A fatbike

You get potentially unlimited peace and quiet on a nice, sunny desert island and you choose to take the wife? Lunatic. Also, if I’d said that my missus would have properly bollocked me for considering her to be a possession and quite right too, yes dear.

I’d take a big old knife or something sensible like that (assuming I’m not allowed a fully equipped luxury yacht).

Chambord has got it right, that would be my first choice, closely followed by fishing equipment.

you’re all dead within 3 days. im taking a fire starter

a machete.

Cheese. A day without cheese is a day without sunshine.

A heavily pregnant pig

Fully stocked luxury yacht.

An axe.

Thats the shelter,fire, food and boat sorted.

swingball set

Axe or machete, proper quality knife, fire-starting kit – Flint, etc. sewing equipment, or at least decent large needles, cooking kit – pots of a couple of different sizes.
Oh, and the means to keep sharp things sharp.
Without those things there’s no easy way to construct shelter, or prepare and cook food. Fish hooks? Many oceanic cultures either don’t have them, or fashion them from other materials, hence the need for a good sharp knife.
Spear/harpoon or bow and barbed arrows can be made.

You can make that with the other stuff.
Hammock; with the right plant fibres, from palm leaves or similar you could weave one of those, given time and lots of trial and error.
Damn, it almost sounds like I know what I’m on about!
😀

Helicopter or Satphone

Brian Blessed. Because nature isn’t going to kill Brian easily.

A parang machete.

🙄

A stereotypical MTBer’s pack. Everything named on this thread will be in it already, apparently. Plus a kitchen sink.

Chilli plant seeds. Assuming I have seafood and coconuts, I’ll be alright.

Bike obv

Yeah but if I took a set I woudn’t NEED to make it, durrr.

there was a series based around this called ‘naked and afraid’ two survivalists get dropped off on a desert island or some such place with one item each, and have to survive for 3 weeks. oh yeah and they are strangers and both naked.
one woman took a bowl! 🙄
