Trapped on a deserted Island: What one item is with you?

Crystal Bruce

You've been trapped on a deserted island, but the powers that be allow you to have ONE item with you? What would it be?

Austen Brown

@Crystal Bruce - a genie lamp with a 1,000 wishes.? If it has to be something more ‘real’ - a ferro rod.

Faith Murray

@Crystal Bruce, either a bushcraft survival knife (with paracord and ferro rod), or else a fully charged satellite cellphone to call for help. ?

Suzan Swartzentrover

@Crystal Bruce I agree with Faith and Austen maybe a good knife. Somehow, I can't help but think of Wilson in Cast Away. ?

Coco Parham

@Crystal Bruce endless cold glass of water!

Angela Finley Hunter

@Crystal Bruce - I agree with @Faith Murray - I would ask for a fully charged satellite cellphone

Angela Finley Hunter

@Austen Brown - the genie lamp with 1,000 wishes does sound awesome ?

Kim MartinezWard

@Crystal Bruce My husband ? He has soooo many hidden talents; I know he could find us a way off the island.

Marie Stark

@Crystal Bruce
I wonder if Bear Grylls wrote any books I could take with me? OF course would also need the knife.

Faith Murray

@Kim Ward, love your answer. I wouldn't want my husband with me though, as I would want him to be the one to rent a plane and come rescue me after I call him on my satellite phone! ?

I went to a local festival some years back, and they were playing a “newlywed game” on stage. They brought out the husbands first, and asked: “If your wife were stranded on a deserted island, what one thing could she not live without?” One fellow in question answered, “Me!”

Then they brought the wives out and asked them, “What answer do you think your husband gave to these questions..?” The lady said, “Knowing him, he probably said himself. But actually, I think it would be my cellphone or a can of Coke.”

@Faith Murray and I are on the same page! I was thinking the exact same answer.
