you can take 5 things to a desert Island

[hollydolly]

..after you've been shipwrecked you've managed to save 5 items...and landed on a deserted desert Island

Your items can't be human, animal or mammal...

What are your 5 items.. and why ?

An axe - to cut firewood and building material

A tinder box - so I can light a fire

Fishing line and hooks - you have to eat

Twine or string - to make snares to catch animals for food

A knife - to clean any fish or animals I might catch and cut kindling for my fire

I'm thinking my solar-powered satellite global cell phone. One that has internet. And music. And movies. And a Grub Hub app.

Assuming there is fresh water, then 5 rocket flares with push button igniters.

If no fresh water, then...

An Ikea desalinization plant, 4 pieces, easy assembly.
A cook book; "Many Ways With Coconuts".

Forgot to add my reasons why

Cigarettes - not the time to quit

Wine - hydration, relaxation, sleeping aid

Books - help pass the time when I’m not foraging for food or killing off wild animals

Sunscreen - Irish

Flare gun - light cigarettes, signal for help

Don't forget, Kathleen, cigarettes are good for sending out smoke signals, too.

 

[Aunt Marg]

I wouldn't need 5 things, just one, a few Jack & The Beanstock Beans.

Plant and water, climb high, wave hands, get rescued.
