JohnRich 4 #26 October 27, 2009 Quote...to bring with you on a big ass deserted island somewhere in the warm Pacific. What resources does this big-ass deserted island have on it? Fresh water? Trees? Wild game? The items most needed, will depend upon what is already available. For example, if there is no fresh water, you're #1 item is going to be a way to make fresh water from salt water. If there is a fresh water spring, then you can use that selection for something else, like a stack of books to read. Photo: I had plenty of fresh water recently on Lake Powell, Utah.

DrewEckhardt 0 #32 October 27, 2009 Quote 5) Camel Back w/ water. A reverse osmosis filter will do you more good since it'll provide drinking water even if there isn't a fresh water source or you can't catch enough fish to suck the water out of their eyeballs and bones.

kbordson 8 #39 October 28, 2009 Quote...to bring with you to a big ass deserted island somewhere in the warm Pacific. You'll be rescued in exactly one year, you're wearing business attire and all five items have to fit in your one duffel back that will go with you. Assumptions: -Deserted island - coconut trees, mangos and papayas. So got the Vit C covered (no scurvy). -Bringing a personal locator beacon or a sat phone isn't going to get rescue any quicker than "exactly one year." That said, this is only a one year camping trip... not a Gilligan's Island Adventure. -Business attire for me - I'll take the scrubs and merrells over the stupid lil skirt and heels. And since I'm in my scrubs... that would also include gloves, a mask and a surgical hat... and there would just *cough* happen to be a Keith needle somewhere in there too. So I need Water, Food (protein... other than bugs) and motivation to enjoy the one year solo camping trip. 1. Clear plastic tarp 2. Knife 3. Mg Fire starter 4. MIL-C-5040H Type IV 5.

riddler 0 #40 October 28, 2009 QuoteiPhone. I'm sure there's an app for getting rescued off a deserted island. AT&T can't even provide coverage in the US, much less a deserted island. They even have a 30% dropped call rate in New York city. You'd have to be on a resort island to get any kind of coverage from the Death Star.Trapped on the surface of a sphere.

slcooper 0 #44 October 28, 2009 1) Satellite Phone 2) GPS 3) Bottle of scotch 4) Donald Trump's credit card 5) My girlfriend (might be a tight fit in the duffel bag but I bet I could get her in there.) FYI - You said I would not be rescued for a year, but you never said I couldn't have stuff delivered. I bet I could have the island turned into a resort community complete with a nice DZ in a year :)Why would anyone jump out of a perfectly good airplane? Cause the door was open!
