You can only pick one item to take on a deserted island, what do you pick?  Tell us why.....

[RevRifleman 668]

Satellite phone is the smart pick for quick contact and rescue. 

 

If that isn't an option and I'm in an actual survival situation... I pick the knife every day of the week. 

 

You can make a spear with a knife and a sturdy tree limb.  You can start a fire without matches.  Mud makes a great sunblock and insect bite barrier.  Torch can be used as a light source once you get a fire going.  

 

Fishing net would be nice and so would a hammock... these can be built from natural resources using a sturdy knife. 

 

The knife can do it all.

Everything Survival based can be made using the knife. I can make spears, a raft, a spear... 

[ACE 16]

definitely the knife. It's more utilitarian. Chances are the satellite phone won't even work. (at least that seems to be my experience with technology). 

[LetFreedomRing 3,263]

Satellite phone so I can call and get rescued.  They can also use the signal to pin point my location.

[Todd A. Slee 145]

What if your call was answered by someone who didn't  like you? That'd  be my luck. Lol! Knife!

[Swamp Fox 88]

Why wasn't a really hot chick that is mute an option.

[Todd A. Slee 145]

I dunno, some of them make being a p.o.w. sound appealing.

That is why I said mute, LOL.

[fixer 3,569]

Many days i think i would love being stranded on an island, as long as i can eat and be healthy, it would be like being on vacation  

[Swamp Fox 88]

Like the movie Swiss Family Robinson.  Minus the drama.

[Claw Hammer 239]

Could get insesital like blue lagoon. 

 

The knife is the tool to make other tools.  The other option is a fire starter because fire sucks to make without tools.

[fixer 3,569]

alright who picked flashlight? ?

[Todd A. Slee 145]

     Maybe they're  gonna wait for a plane or ship to pass by, and flash an SOS. LOL.

[Todd A. Slee 145]

There's  an old WWII movie, these two Marines, everytime the ship passed by a certain island, would jump off and swim to shore, then live with the natives until the ship sent m.p.'s to fetch them back.

[fixer 3,569]

Based on the feedback i have added a few more options

[Todd A. Slee 145]

If you add the hot chick that's  a mute, please specify also that she doesn't  have anything to text with or ask for itunes cards. lol

and she is willing, flexible and sterile?

[Todd A. Slee 145]

Lol.  For sure.

[Todd A. Slee 145]

Maybe better make it an Aunt Jemima type instead, can cook. Lol.

[Todd A. Slee 145]

     I haven't  figured out how to add the reason for the choice we pick on the questions. Am I still digitally illiterate? 

[fixer 3,569]

no you are meant to post here why you picked what you did

 

 

[Todd A. Slee 145]

     I like the reasons Revrifleman gave. He had some I hadn't  thought of, for the knife.

[young patriot 64]

i chose the administrator. He probably knows alot more than me, and you always need a battle buddy. 2 have a much greater survival chance and can get alot more done that just one.

[Todd A. Slee 145]

Guess you can make a knife by rubbing it on a rock, maybe luck out and find a spear head or some flint. Good choice as well.
