I fucked the new question up majorly. So here's the original #FeelFreeToTakeThis

[oddwaffle]

My survival skills come from TV. Bear Grylls shows aren't a reliable way to do it because the guy has a crew around and probably for help from them. There was a Canadian who did the survival thing for 7-day session, alone, no crew, he filmed himself. What he always had with him was shoes, pants and multitool. His most frequent problem was getting water and food. In fact, the most reliable way to get food was gathering rather than traps. Water would be hit or miss but he almost never could get any decent camp near water because he had to move around.

Spent 100k on food and water. This solves 65% of the problems. I don't have to hunt for food and water and I don't have to get sick trying something stupid. I can deduct 25k more by using water purifier if I can find water but it will be risky. If the purifier can purify salt water then I will skip the water bottles for it.

Tent/Blanket, shoes and matches. 225k. You will want shoes to move around and gather stuff. Blanket to make some clothes but it really depends on the climate. You can hang around for days with this as you have all 3 basic stuff to live: food, water and shelter.

300k maybe. Again depending on where. Colder climate will be more costly.

[DizzyDesii]

Whooaaa all planned out ;-) i enjoyed reading this

[oddwaffle]

Dispite what you see on TV.

Don't touch any fruit that haven't see an animal like bird or mammal eating or signs of them eating. It's not uncommon to get something nasty like extremely itchy throat, diarrhea or something along the line.

Don't drink unboiled water in strange region. Diarrhea is guaranteed. If you can't keep boiled water frequently then mix 2/3 boiled and 1/3 unboiled at the beginning then try some unboiled water after a couple days then you can drink full unboiled water.

Having food and water would be exceedingly easy to survive. Being naked would be a problem without shoes and underwear.

[DizzyDesii]

You're riiight

[Unit1]

I do not eat fish and I have decent night visions, as the moonlight provides some light naturally.

Water purifier is a must. Plenty of matches too. First Aid Kit too because health over everything else!
= $75,000

Tents, Food+Can Opener.
Stove with frying pan, Mosquito Net, Umbrella.
> $75,000 + $250,000 = $325,000

Pants, Shirt, Hat, shoes.
> $325,000 + $400,000 = $725,000

I'll take an AA12 Shotgun :)
> $725,000 + $250,000 = $975,000

$1,000,000 - $975,000 = $25,000 made in a month. That's pretty good I'd say and very solid survival.

[DizzyDesii]

Haha well done ;-)

[Unit1]

Actually I can give up the umbrella if i have tents. So that would be $75.000 leftover for me =)

[Kayla45]

I would try it without buying anything, I have survival skills from my uncle who was in the marines. I know how to make shelter, start a fire, trapping, and hunting. I would try to survive for as long as I could just by using those skills, depending on weather conditions I would probably buy other things. I did go camping for 2 weeks without food or water, my uncle showed me how to live off the land, wild edibles, purifying water, etc. I would have a better chance at survival than most people. I REALLY want to be on Naked and Afraid, but I'm self conscious of my body.. :(

If I got desperate though I would get a tent and a water purifier.

[DizzyDesii]

Save that money girl lol

[Kayla45]

Just depends on how long I would last, but yeah! Save the money! :)

[DapperMelody]

Interesting. What job/rank is he?

Ya see I considered that too but you'd have to make stupid friction fires and open coconuts with a pointy stick stuck in the ground.

[SuccessfulHornDog]

How would you start fire? Trap and hunt? I assume that you at least had a knife when you were with your uncle

[Blonde401]

Flashlight, matches, first aid kit and water purifier: $100,000

Tent, canned food: $100,000 food and shelter.

And some shorts for another 100k. I don't care about my top half or shoes.

So I'd take home $700,000 if all went well.

[DizzyDesii]

Lol sounds good. And lmao no shirt 😂

[Blonde401]

Ahh fuck it! I want the extra cash 😏

[DizzyDesii]

😂😂😂

[888theGreat]

Maybe I am confused , but don't you have red hair?

[BlueCoyote]

Fun question! :-)

Let's see... most of these are not absolutely necessary.
First of all, it depends on what the island looks like and what resources it offers. Since MTV is not too evil and they want people to have a real chance, I'm assuming they bring candidates to islands that do have fresh water.
If the fresh water is running (stream, river, waterfall), I can drink it just like that. If it is standing water, I need to boil it up before consumption. In order to boil it up, I need a fire-proof container (a metal pot or something like that). Anyone who's ever watched Bear Grylls' "Man vs. Wild" knows how much trash lies around even at the most remote places on earth. So finding a metal pot that was washed against the beach is actually quite possible. Otherwise, I would have to buy one.

1. Fishing rod: I would try to survive off a vegetarian diet. For 30 days, this should work. I would also try to set up traps for small animals.
2. Pocket knife: sharp stones can do the trick
3. Comb/Brush: Totally unnecessary
4. Water purifier: I can boil it up if necessary
5. Sunscreen: mud does the trick too
6. Matches: Mayyybe. If I can't get a fire ready, I might buy some.
7. First aid kit: only if necessary
8. Bug spray: I would try to stay in the smoke of my fire or down at the beach
9. Tent/Blanket: Not necessary, I can build my own makeshift bed
10. Bottled water: probably not necessary
11. Canned food: definitely not necessary
12. Camp stove: an open fire is actually better
13. Mosquito net: Maybe. Depends how bad it is...
14. Lighter: probably not necessary. I would try to keep the fire going.
15. Sixpack of beer/soda: don't need that. Gets warm anyway.
16. Umbrella: not necessary
17. Warm coat: I have my fire
18. Hiking shoes: Very tempting but I would try to build my own first
19. Sunglasses: not necessary
20. Pants/shorts: not necessary
21. Bra/undies: not necessary
22. Shirt: not necessary
23. Hat: not necessary

All the other things are either too expensive or useless. I don't need pistols and shotguns. There are no grizzly bears on tropical islands. The small animals would probably be more problematic than the big ones.
I would obviously try to save as much money as I possibly can ;-). 30 days are survivable. I might lose a lot of weight and feel weak afterwards but at least I've got some money ;-).

[DizzyDesii]

Lmao you just gone stay naked

[BlueCoyote]

I love being naked. I sit naked in the sauna, so why not on a tropical island ;-)

[DizzyDesii]

But when its rainy you may get sick

[BlueCoyote]

Well, it's tropical rain, so it'll hopefully be warm ;-). And one of my priorities (after looking for water and food) will be to build some kind of shelter. Palm leaves can work wonders... :-)

[OlderAndWiser]

#4 Water Purifier $ 25,000
#5 Sunscreen $ 25,000
#6 Matches $ 25,000
#7 First Aid Kit (Bandages/Meds) $ 25,000
#8 Bug Spray $ 25,000
#1 Tent/Blanket $ 50,000
#2 Bottled Water for 30 days $ 50,000
#3 Canned Food/Can Opener $ 50,000
#4 Pants/Shorts $100,000
#6 Shirt $100,000

TOTAL $475,000

[DizzyDesii]

Why no shoes?

[OlderAndWiser]

Because I have all the food and water I need for 30 days, so I don't need to go to the interior of the island.

[DizzyDesii]

Hahahah

[Sualtam]

You should bring your dream guy/girl too, otherwise you would get mental after 30 days of isolation.

[DizzyDesii]

@Sualtam nahh im antisocial. I can make it haha

[DizzyDesii]

I'd talk to my reflection in the water for free lol. I already spent $975k. I dont have $500k for a partner

[YourFutureEx]

Thanks for A2A!

Where's Internet? I won't survive.

This has a lot of plot holes. I mean, we don't know if there's fresh water sources or not. If yes, why would we buy it? And what kind of vegetation is there? And if I buy the map, why would I need anything else at all as I'll just go there and collect whatever I need.

Anyway, most of the things are useless considering their price. But I'll pick..
Matches $25000
Bottled Water for 30 days $50000
Canned Food for 30 days + Can Opener $50000
Mosquito Net $50000
Bring Dream Guy/Girl to join $500000

Total : 625000
Reward : 375000

Matches will help in the night and fighting with the wild animals and to protect me from the weather. Lighter is too mainstream and overpriced which works the same.

Food for obvious reasons. I'm very bad at fishing (I didn't try yet tho). And who knows if there's a crocodile waiting for me there. This is the best money invested.

Mosquito net because I don't want to die because of malaria or dengue. And it can also protect me from other bugs. As I'm not spending money on clothes because

I selected my dream girl to stay there as well. Half a million to meet my dream girl is very good deal. In the absence of video games, music and internet, I know how to pass my time there. In fact, I wanna know if I could live there forever? This sounds like a paradise.

[YourFutureEx]

Total : 675000*
Reward : 325000*

[DizzyDesii]

Hahaha 👍

[Notorisch_Arschloch]

You could put me naked in North Dakota in January and a month later find me well fed and entertaining myself improving my shelter.

A nice island? Pff. I'll be selling the excess fish I spear, with the stick I honed to a point on a rock and my knowledge of how to correctly aim due to water's refraction of light, to passing boats.

I'll decline rescue from them so I can watch and laugh at the poor fuckers who spent all their money starve since they can't afford my fish, and if they bought all that shit, they can't catch fuck all to feed themselves anyway.

Flashlight: no need, fire, torches
Lighter: seriously?
Canned food: candy asses... deadfalls, fishing, foraging, spear hunting
Clothes: pff
Insect repellent: dip self in mud or rub any of a wide array of plant life oils or juices on yourself
First aid kit: you can cauterize a damn knife or bullet wound with a rock from your fire with makeshift stick tongs, keep you damn booboo box
Tent: Your leaf covered shelter can double to collect rainwater
Shotgun: will only piss off any animal is be worried about needing one for. I'll take my spears every time

[DizzyDesii]

😂😂😂 ok

[Notorisch_Arschloch]

I think the bulk of your generation might die without access to Facebook and grocery store. FFS, I've seen grown ass fuckin men who can't keep a fire going in dry conditions with a lighter to start it.

[TripleAce]

Ouuu fun fun

This wouldn't be so bad.. for one where are we? Close to the equator or no... amywhooo... im walking away with 450,000 or 500,000 for sure... like this

250,000 for machete BUT I might take this out.. maybe
100,000 pants
100,000 shoes
50,000 for 30 days worth of canned food
50,000 30 days worth of bottled water
50,000 for a tent... shelter is too important
25,000 matches
_________________________________________
Walk out with 380k at the minimum
Debatable
250,000 machete out, use a stick sharpened for protection
100k Pants out, make some genital coverage and forget that ill be sleeping with bugs
25,000 matches out, old fashioned sticks and stones
_________________________________________
Walk out with 750k

[DizzyDesii]

Hahaha well thought out

[TripleAce]

:))) more lol

[TripleAce]

Zombie edition lol...120 days

[DizzyDesii]

Oh heck no. I'd leave the money haha. But yea i should make a zombie edition

[TripleAce]

But I think 30 days canned food and 30 says water overpowered items lol

Those should cost 250,000 since it's essential to life... you think?

[TripleAce]

Tent, water and food should be at 250,000 each

Ouch lol now it's tuff

[DizzyDesii]

Lol i was trying to cut you some slack. But if you dont want a discount 😂🙈

[Chico_brah]

#1 Fishing Rod
#4 Water Purifier
#6 Matches
#7 First Aid Kit (Bandages/Meds)

$25,000(4)=$100,000

______

#1 Machete = $250,000

______
Total = $350,000

_____

Literally all I need. I'm going to assume I have regular clothes and I'm not completely naked. Water purify is an obvious one along with first aid kid. Flashlights and lighters are pointless when you have matches. Flare isn't necessary when you can start very large controlled fires with the matches. Canned foods aren't necessary when you can fish (fishing poll) and hunt (Machete). Rifle isn't necessary because I I have a Machete and firearms need ammunition (which will run out). Compass isn't necessary since I don't even know where I'm at anyways, I'd figure out the area and mark it up to be able to differentiate. I have all the resources I need.

[DizzyDesii]

No you're completely naked. No shoes no underwear NOTHING! Sure you dont wanna but some kinda clothing?

[DizzyDesii]

I may put back my shirt and keep just the jacket. That way i can take home $125k

[lifes_curve_ball]

It depends what the layout of the island is like. If it's warm, cold, has sand, vegetation etc.

I would take the tent and blanket regardless, I can fashion my clothing out of the blanket and I can fashion together an attempt at a basic water filter (very much easier if sand is there). As rope isn't on this list I'd choose the fishing rod too assuming it comes with enough line for me to go fishing and still use some of the line to help fashion a spear (All I need then is a rock and stick). So that's $75k. This way I just gotta chill for 30 days. I got food capability, weapon, shelter, clothing and water.

[DizzyDesii]

I forgot rope but wow i like the way you think

[chrisbigman]

250000 machete
100000 shorts
25000 first aid
25000 fishing rod
25000 water purifier
50000 camp stove with frying pan
25000 flashlight/batteries
500000 either a life boat or a dream girl to join (if she desires)

I'd potentially use all the money. I feel I could survive being stranded on an island for 30 days - or I'm willing to take that chance. And I don't need to be rich. I've worked all my life. As long as I have my basic essentials paid for, I don't need anything else. I don't "NEED" luxury. Would it be nice? I'm sure, but it's not a true NEED.

[DizzyDesii]

But either way you have money left over :)

[chrisbigman]

How? Flashlight and batteries are separate?

[DizzyDesii]

No the slash mark means its a combo

[chrisbigman]

Oh, okay. How much do I have left over? I put it in a spreadsheet and it said a million for a total. Not that I was trying to use every dollar. But I figure I'd use what I can use.

[DizzyDesii]

If i did the math right, you only spent $775

[chrisbigman]

Yeah, you might want to double-check your math. I double-checked mine and it's still coming out with the full million.

[DizzyDesii]

Lmao yea it is $1 mill. I thought the shorts sais $10k instead of $100k

[chrisbigman]

Will you please be my Valentine?

[DizzyDesii]

Aww how random and sweet. But I already have a Valentine. Im sorry

[chrisbigman]

Darn!

[AnaWryneck]

Not at all fair they never cast someone who knows wtf they're doing I can go 30days naked it's an island what ever I kill will be my new clothes there's wood there's vine has no one ever gone roughing it? I don't need any of that shit there's probably a lake and if not I'll go for the water cleaner but even then heeeelllo you can do that naturally

[DizzyDesii]

Well at least you'll have $1 Mill to take home haha

[AnaWryneck]

Yep but sadly they wouldn't even pick me

[DizzyDesii]

This isn't part of the show lol. I made up the top half

[AnaWryneck]

Well I would be a millionaire or at least half a million because that map would be good for finding food herbs water and Flint

[DizzyDesii]

😂😂😂

[cheapshotbob]

i would just send 250.000 buck which would leave me with 997,5000,0. seeing how i could use leaves from tree's which is fee and water seeing how i dont need beer and i can make a lean tew can't spell that last word lol. and i would live be a creek so food would be endless so long as no one over fished >_> i think most of you would do that worse than people hording toilet paper >_> .

i would be rolling in doe going home!

[DizzyDesii]

Lmao

[Tanuron]

Well if was a show like that one, well im sure they wouldn't allow anyone to die, rather just be for myself there also, so first just ditch everyone else and not buy anything, I could survive 30 days. Be tough no doubt, but certainly doable. And if a camera crew anywhere, just steal their shit, lol.

[DizzyDesii]

Lol ignore the show, we based this one off my instructions above

[Tanuron]

ill still manage, I wouldn't buy anything :). Lived in middle of nowhere most of my life and been so much in the forrest and wilderness i would probably be just fine :).

[scragbas]

all I want is the pocket knife and matches. I can start a fire without matches, but it is a pain in the ass. I'll use the pocket knife to make spears and a few simple traps for food and protection. I'll cover myself in mud for the bugs. I'll build a shelter from branches, sticks, and leaves. and I'll drink water from any springs I find, or from the tops of leaves if it rains.

[DizzyDesii]

OMG YES!! Very prepared. I like ;-)

[scragbas]

even if it is miserable the whole time, it's only 30 days.

[DizzyDesii]

Yea and you'll make that milli

[scragbas]

exactly. and if it was a reality show, I'd probably end up choking out the camera crew, stealing their food, destroying their electronics, and leaving them alone in the woods to survive.

[DizzyDesii]

😂😂😂😂 #Beast

[scragbas]

then I'd turn it into "The Most Dangerous Game" and hunt the camera crew. that would make a much more interesting reality TV show.

[DizzyDesii]

Lmao i actually like the other version of that book/movie "Surviving the Game"
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=HlUQFDxJedg

[VictoriaVille]

I'd spend:550.00 lol

Food ( no need to fish or hunt) lol
Bottled water
Coat ( no need for clothes under a coat lol) I don't need shoes, I'll not be walking far lol )
Bug spray
Flash light
Shotgun ( to shoot wild animals if they attactk me)
Tent / blanket

I'd stay in the comfort of my tent with my food, water, gun and flash light until I'm rescued after 30 days 😂

[DizzyDesii]

Not $550 that would be $550,000

[VictoriaVille]

Sorry typo haha i meant 550.000 haha

[VictoriaVille]

I wouldn't have gotten much for 550 lol

[VictoriaVille]

I match probably haha

[RedRobin]

$25,000 Flashlight/Batteries

[DizzyDesii]

At least you takin home sumn 😂😂

[NearlyNapping]

30 days of canned food and opener and I'll keep the rest. Food is guaranteed. I assume there is water someplace and I'm not worried about purifying it. The weather? Meh, I'll manage somehow. I'm not worried about animals. They won't bother me and I won't bother them.

[DizzyDesii]

Wow you're going home with stacks haha

[NearlyNapping]

Lol, I wouldn't spend it there either. I don't know what I'd spend it on. I don't really want much. I could probably manage to spend 30K if I tried.

[Peachman]

$25,000 Flashlight
$25,000 First Aid Kit
$50,000 Bottled Water
$50,000 Canned Food
$50,000 Lighter
$100,000 Pants
$100,000 Shoes
$250,000 Shotgun

Bug spray = just go in the shallow water
Tent = something to spend time making
Soda = i try not to drink soda
Coat = i live in Australia so the island i pictured wasent cold
Shirt = luxury

[DizzyDesii]

Lol smart ;-) but i imagine the island will be cold at night

[Peachman]

then i guess i would attempt to make a sort of blanket out of leaves and stuff

[ADFSDF1996]

Pants (corduroy just in case it's cold), canned food, blanket, flashlight, first aid and dream woman.
We can make hunting weapons out of stones, wood or resources we find. We can make a bonfire to cook. There might be wild fruit growing, we can boil water to purify it. Boiling salt water underneath a large leaf can produce freshwater since the salt doesn't evaporate. Tents can be made from large leaves and pieces of wood. It's tempting to just use all 1 million dollars to go home though.

[DizzyDesii]

Hahah well either way you're taking money home

[Kuraj]

That tv show looks so dramatic man...
Making such a deal out of living in conditions that many natives lived in and still live to this day on a daily basis.

But realistically speaking, you want containers and cooking accessories.
You can do without cutting tools or cordage - but you will quickly realize boiling water is actually pretty damn hard unless you have a pot or something.

[DizzyDesii]

Read everything I typed above. If you want yhe stove and equipment, thats $50,000. That minus $1 Mill still leaves you with a handful of money to take home after 30 days

[Phoenix98]

In all honestly all I need to survive a sharpening stone, flint and a good strong durable and sharp knife.

Everything else I need i can make or get from nature, traps, weapons, food, water, fire and even clothing. I can even make a bow and arrows for fishing if I need to.

So I'll stay naked and just buy those 3 items.

[DizzyDesii]

Sounds good haha but you couldve at least bought the pants haha

[Phoenix98]

Well I'd have the clothes on my back obviously.

[AskNaz]

Ohh interesting question!

total $75,000
#2 Flashlight (Very useful at nighttime)
#6 Matches (To start fires, important)
#7 First Aid Kit (in case of emergencies)

total $100,000
#2 Bottled Water for 30 days
#3 Canned Food for 30 days
#1 Tent/Blanket

total $250,000
#1 Machete (Use as weapon or clearing terrain)

GRAND COST: $425,000
Taking home: $575,000

Have the necessities. Just wait out the 30 days. :P

[AskNaz]

Probably use the blanket as clothing.

[DizzyDesii]

VERY SMART!! ;-)
