Desert Island Dilemma


If you knew you would be stranded on a desert island for 1 year, which 5 objects would you bring with you? Keep in mind that there is NO electricity on the island! Choose you objects carefully and then explain your choices in a brief paragraph.

Once you have completed your selections and posted your explanation, read and respond to at least 2 peers.


As always, I look forward to reading your responses.

  1. I would bring:

    1. Food/water
    2. Fire
    3. Blankets/tents
    4. CLothes/swimsuit
    5. Lifejacket/swimming gear.
    I would bring these things because it's what you would need to survive. Without food and water, you would die, because you may not know if the water is drinkable, or what kind of fish you can and cannot eat. You would need fire to stay warm, and cook your food. You would need tents and blankets so you can also stay warm in the winter, and the tent for sheltur. Lifejakett and swimming stuff so you can fish and get daily exersize.

  6. Im rory6180.
    1.Duck tape, its incredibly strong and is usefull for lots of things, like making shelter crafting things out of wood, and holding things in place.
    2.My Swiss Army knife, it has many tools and a sharp knife, is small, and is easy to clean.
    3. 22.Rimfire rifle, small ammo and is good for hunting, easy to clean and is good weight.
    4. First Aid kit, which is self explanatory.
    5.A dog, great for hunting, good companion, and good for morale.

  7. The 5 items I would bring are-
    1. Motor boat, so I could get off the island
    2. A big tank of gasoline, so I wouldn't run out of gas before I got to land.
    3. A large bag, equip with big water bottle, because there is most likely fresh water some where on the island, a pack of 1000 matches, so I can cook dinner, a fist aid kit, in case I get hurt, a Swiss army knife, in case I need it, and much more.
    4. Blanket/tarp, so i can be warm and dry.
    5. A fishing rod, so I can catch dinner.

I would also bring a first aid kit so in case I got cut I would have bandages to patch me up. 4. I would also bring a lighter so I could start a fire so I would be warm. 5. I would also bring a knife because I would have a weapon if something went after me and would also have a knife to cut anything I might possibly need to.

    1. I would bring an ax. An ax would be good to get wood so I can have a half decent shelter and in case I get attacked or for hunting.
    2. I would bring duct tape. Duct tape mixed with sticks, herbs, berries and leaves make a really good first aid kit and is better for environment.
    3. I would bring a flint and steel. I would use it for fire and for cooking and it is better for the environment than lighters and more reliable than matches.
    4. I would bring a tarp. A tarp can be used for shelter and warmth.
    5. I would bring a really good swiss army knife. The swiss army knife would be used as an all around tool and to cut food.
