Caesium said:I've probably replied to this before, but I'll reply again anyway...this sounds like fun. Well, firstly, there's the obvious choice of a satellite phone and a small hand-powered generator, so that's two of my items already. However, knowing my luck, the phone would break.
I'm not sure if I would want books - I was thinking of just choosing to take an Amazon Kindle (electronic book reader) with a few thousand books on it, but I think that might just make me even lonelier - to read every day about people, reading their dialogues, reading about mundane activities that I know I will never experience again. To read so many voices in the books, but have no one to talk to, I think that's what would really drive me insane.
A box of matches is always a good thing to have - or better yet, a propane lighter. Both of these things would run out eventually though, so I'd have to learn how to make fire by myself - therefore I will take some flint and a piece of metal, with which to make sparks with.
A water purifier would be nice too, especially if I ever decide to build a raft with which to escape from the island with (so that I can purify the salty sea-water and turn it into drinking water).
To be perfectly honest, if I was on a desert island, there aren't many things in my current environment that I would take with - nothing that I have would serve any long-term purpose on a desert island, most of what I have would just make me go insane, with the items reminding me of a life I once had, and a life that I may never have ever again.
Therefore, my final items will be: a survival handbook, offering instructions on how to catch and cook animals, how to build shelters, and which plants are edible; and some stationary (notebooks, pens, etc.), so that I can write down my experience, in case anyone ever finds the island.
