What to Bring to a Deserted Island

When stranded on a deserted island, choose essentials like fresh water, durable tools, and a means of communication. Prioritize items that ensure survival, safety, and rescue chances. Carefully selecting what to bring can make the difference between survival and hardship in an isolated environment.

You will be transported to a deserted island. You are permitted to bring 3 things with you, and three things only. Don't try to combine 2-in-1 on the sly- one will be confiscated.

Choose quickly and wisely.

If you're scientific enough DC, you can distill some of the salt water or whatever water surrounds this mysterious island and make some fresh water...and not have to waste your third wish..hehe

Unless of course the island is in the middle of space...in which case, yeah, you're gonna need that water.

In times like those you just need some men around to help with the fishing and stuff. Plus...they can bring along whatever 3 things they want...to make sure we're all fed and happy...lol

Description of the Palymra Island:

Surrounding the islets and the lagoons is a platform of coral and hard sand. Upon this one can walk from one islet to another, even at high water. At low water parts of the platform are dry. This platform measures 4.3/4 miles east and west by 1.1/2 miles wide. From its eastern end a shoal extends eastward for two miles. From its western end it is shoal for about five miles, the inner mile of which is thickly dotted with coral heads. On this western shoal ships may anchor in 4 to 10 fathoms. The anchorage should be approached from the west, as shallow water extends westward from Sawle Point and Penguin Spit. Landing is difficult because of the many coral heads. At high water it is possible to work a boat along the north side of Penguin Spit, up to Home Islands. At low water it is better to land on the north side of the spit, much of which is dry. All of the northern and southern edge of the platform is marked by a line of breakers.

The climate is wet and humid, as evidenced by the dense vegetation. The rainfall doubtless exceeds 100 inches a year. Yet there are many clear sunny days. A record kept for over a year, 1920-1921, shows 290 clear days as against 114 rainy or cloudy days. Palmyra lies near the zone where the northeast and southeast trade winds meet. It has been suggested that the contact between these bodies of air forced the warmer to rise, become cooled, and drop its moisture in the form of tropical rain.

"Still there is no way, I'll be in an island with one girl and two guys, if you can make through me, you can make it anywhere, you would have acquired all the survival skills needed."

Come on Jack. We're being held captive. You have no choice here. It's just you, me, evan and cappie....

yaaayyyy! GO, DC! You are much braver than me.

I would've passed out, or screamed until someone came to help. I've done it several times before in my new york apartment. ::shivers from the memory::

"You all have 36 hours to plan and execute your escape.

Good luck."

DC...that means good luck to YOU on that part of the island with the roaches. Me and my men need to work out a plan 🙂
