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.

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.

Nice plan. I was thinking more along the lines of 5 x 55 gallon drums of hard apple cider.

Duck tape, back scratcher, dog, 6 pack of pepsi, and lip balm.

Fire striker, distiller to remove salt from sea water, satellite phone to call for help, machete, and a shovel.

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

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

  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.

  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.

  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.

Besides the ax, terrible choices! My other 4 would be a raft, compass, paddle, and forget about gps, 5 gallons of fresh water.
