You’re Stranded on a Desert Island (not dessert) (3 Viewers)

We were discussing this at a friends house and I thought I would check here.

Well, if I have a raft, then I'm not stranded anymore, right?

I’m going to assume that being stranded means that I was likely on a boat or some other vehicle at some point and things didn’t work out too well. I typically wear clothes and shoes when I travel, so I would take my chances with:

1. Tent - to get a good night’s rest as I develop my plan to gtfo.
2. Raft - To gtfo. The tent will be used to make my houseraft.
3. Matches - to make fire for cooking and purifying my water.
4. Knife - to draw first blood as I will be in Rambo mode until I’m back in civilization.

For you raft people this is a tropical island with shark-infested, tropical wavey waters

Does the weed have seeds in it?

Does the weed have seeds in it?

Going into production?

It looks like you plan on sticking around there for a while.

 

[Consigliere]

(1) Water Purifier - gotta have it to live until you can use Flare Gun.
(2) Matches - gotta have it for fire until you can use Flare Gun.
(3) Tent - gotta have it to stay dry (and to keep the matches dry) until Flare Gun.
(4) Flare Gun to GTFO, or at least to hope of GTFO.

Can I wish for more wishes?

1. Knife -- I can make most everything on that list or some workaround if need be.
2. Hand saw -- more efficient than the knife and assuming no rescue ever, reduce wear on the knife
3. Tarp -- for mobile rain protection assuming significant waterfall on an island.
4. First Aid kit -- could be higher depending on circumstances, but the number and nature of the equipment would have many more uses than any other non-essential items.

If it wasn't a big rain area, then the pot might make more sense than the tarp.

Also, it isn't specified, but I assumed that things like the insect repellent or water purifier wouldn't be replaceable before rescue.
