If you were stuck on a desert island, and you could only bring five things, what would they be?

[Jazquee]

My 5... lol

[TurboKid]

I lack those kinds of survival skills/knowledge to make wise decisions here. It's one of the things I most wish to correct. Yet some good blades seem like something incredibly useful (maybe one which is hefted and balanced towards the blade, like an axe, as well as a sturdy knife balanced towards the center/handle), as well as something which might help me to start a fire. I'd also want to bring my wife along if I can although maybe I shouldn't because I don't want her to condemn her to a bad fate.

[Jazquee]

Very considerate thought about your wife. Your sweet. But I bet she would rather be stranded with you. Rather than lost without you

[TurboKid]

I got tempted to say my cast iron skillet but then I thought about whether I could find fats/oils to cook with and season/maintain it. Well, if I was knowledgeable I could maybe use animal fats if I knew how to extract them properly. But questions like this make me realize that I don't know much at all. I really wanna fix that but things like survival and hunting aren't popular here in Japan. I do know how to fish but I don't know how to survive like this with bare-minimal equipment.

[Jazquee]

I had parents that were survivalist. I knew how to make a fire with two rocks by the time I was 10 lol
Also how to build a shelter... find water and make it drinkable, and to fish using a sharpened stick. By 15.

[TurboKid]

I wish I had parents like that. I think I could make an okay shelter from my engineering background. Won a contest as a boy building a bridge out of chopsticks that was able to withstand over 100lbs. But I don't know things like how to make a fire without a lighter, or what things in the wild are safe to eat, or how to skin a squirrel and remove its guts.

[WindAtMyBack]

Flint and steel
Knife
Fishing pole/line/hook
Metal pot

Maybe a tarp for the last thing
Or if I know it will be cold then a sleeping bag (if I die the first cold night, the other stuff is useless)

I might substitute a magnifying glass for the flint and steel.

[Cynicaldreamer]

-Water filter
-Lighter
-Gun or weapon (sword, machete, bow)
-MREs
-Rope

[Jazquee]

I have a feeling your the type not to piss off. 😁

[Cynicaldreamer]

I wouldn't say that. I'm the "silent but deadly" type. I keep to myself usually unless provoked, then watch out! LOL

[loves2learn]

Swiss Army knife, flint, blanket, hatchet, Max Riemelt

[Jazquee]

All the important things😉

[loves2learn]

Yup! Lol

[Jazquee]

[loves2learn]

Johnny was my #1 for many years. Until I saw Max Riemelt. I can’t explain the crush I have on Max. 🤣 Never has an actor had that effect on me. Lol

[Jazquee]

I just love who Johnny is... not just his face lol. I don't think I know this max... will have to check it out

[JesseJayNeak]

Hawks have great eyesight. They discover food, water or a ship that comes to pick me 6
