Survival scenario: Choose five items...

[lost_n_confuzd 0]

...to bring with you to a big ass deserted island somewhere in the warm Pacific. You'll be rescued in exactly one year, you're wearing business attire and all five items have to fit in your one duffle back that will go with you.

1) Magnifying glass

2) Fishing net

3) Machete

4) Long ass rope

5) Camel Back w/ water.

Me and my old man had this discussion today and I'm curious as to what you guys would bring with you.

1) trusty KA-BAR (w/ sheath and stone)
2) 550 cord & hooks
3) military issue poncho & liner
4) flint/steel fire starter
5) garbage bags

additional items if i could..

-ar-15 & as much ammo as i can have (exchange Ka-Bar for issue bayonet)
-cammies
-another poncho
-lots of socks
-extra boots
-sunglasses

(and i could carry a lot more if i was allowed...everything else would be just to make it more pleasant)

Dont you guys watch Mythbusters? Duct tape is all you really need. You can build a boat out of it!

I woke up next to a blowup doll Ash....so what do you think?

[lost_n_confuzd 0]

Ah yes, sunglasses. How could I forget? My eyes are super sensitive, so I might have to exchange the fishing net for sunglasses.

Good call on the 550 cord.

[pcramil 0]

while living in the mountains at bridgeport for two weeks, we all learned 550 cord is worth it's weight in gold...i brought 3 times the amount of 550 cord the gear list specified (300 feet), yet i left with none remaining..

i also learned not to share with wasteful people and people too stupid/lazy to bring their own shit

1) knife. i don't know anything about knives, so without doing any homework, i would bring the knife that bear grylls uses, that thing takes a beating.

if it still only counts as one item, i would want the knife to come in a sheath with a sharpening stone.

2) 550 cord. 1500 foot roll doesn't take up much room and you could make a net out of the inner strings if you were inclined.

3) blue tarp. i would want as big of a tarp as i could fit in the duffle bag. obviously it could waterproof a shelter, but it could also be used for water storage, solar still, and you could even put sea water on a piece of it and let it evaporate and now you've got sea salt to make your food taste better. i'm sure there are many other uses too.

4) canteen. i would want to aluminum canteen with the cup thing that fits on the bottom if that only counts as one item. if it counts as two items, then i would just take the cup. it would be nice3 to have something to boil water in.

5) tinted swimming goggles. these could act as sunglasses out of water, but would be very helpful in procuring food in the water.

honerable mention) box of assorted fish hooks. i wouldn't replace any of the above items with this, but it sure would be nice to have.

The rest of the Bag I would fill with Porn and Booze so I had something to do while I waited for stuff to be delivered..

Didn't you want a Sat Phone so you could order the stuff? Or even a pen/pencil to place the order by snail mail? It would be kind of annoying to me to have the catalog but no way to actually order the stuff.

that's a tough call then, on either porn, booze or the sat-phone!

Les Stroud. He can keep me warm, and take care of everything else.

I'd let him choose the other 4 things

There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown)

Hunting rifle (assuming there are animals on the island)
1,000 rounds of ammo
Large quantity clear plastic tarp
Knife
Water filter

Oh, and I'd like to change the story to: I arrived floating on a barrel of whisky.

[davjohns 1]

1. Poncho with liner
2. Knife with sharpener
3. Rifle with scope and ammo
4. 1/4 nylon cord (proper name for 550 cord)
5. Pot or skillet

I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet..

But do you think it would be appropriate to just remove all of the warning labels and let nature take its course.
