No civilization exists. It’s a tropical climate and you have no clue what wildlife may live on the island, be it a food source or a predator. Your only possessions are any pj’s/underwear you’re wearing; do you try to survive or do you accept your fate… or a bit of both?!
You have time to grab three items listed below before the ocean washes everything away forever
- 1 x Compass
- 1 x Water bottle
- 1 x Flint for starting a fire
- 1 x Machete or large knife
- 1 x Small hand-saw
- 1 x Month supply of lip balm
- 1 x Month supply of SPF 100 sun cream
- 1 x Random suitcase of clothing (contents may or may not fit you)
- 1 x Soft pillow
- 1 x Whistle
- 1 x Standard first-aid kit (includes antiseptic cream/painkillers)
- 1 x Case of insect repellant
- 1 x Waterproof plastic sheet/tarpaulin
- 1 x Large bar of chocolate
- 1 x Wind-up radio
- 1 x Bag of rustproof nails
- 1 x Length of nylon rope
- 1 x Piece of pipe
- 1 x Case of alcohol
- 1 x Gun with 1 bullet
- 3 x Teddy bears
- 1 x Pair of kitchen scissors
- 1 x Blanket
- 1 x Sunhat
- 1 x Sunglasses
- 1 x Handheld fan
Post below to tell us why and how you’d make use of your choices. If you come up with an entertaining scenario of how you’d use your choices, you’re allowed a bonus fourth pick you may include in your post.
This poll is set to remain open indefintely.
I chose the SPF 100 because I burn like a bitch and am the whitest person who eve whited.
I chose the tarp/sheet to hide under but also, to catch water/condensation.
And lastly, a machete.
I will definitely die.

I picked the machete, flint and first aid kit as I think they’d be the most useful for me. The machete for cutting stuff down/protection/food, the flint bc fire for warmth/cooking/boiling water and the first aid kit bc I’d rather not die from an infection or bite. My fourth pick would be the random suitcase of clothes, which, even if they didn’t fit, could be used as coverings for warmth or stuffing to make a pillow/bedding or bandaging if injured once the first-aid kit bandages had run out (plus there’s a chance it might contain a hat - if not there’d be something to use as a head covering - and possibly footwear too).

So as you can see by my choices, I plan to die there. I chose the insect repellent and handheld fan for my comfort before I go and the radio because it would be nice if i could pick up some kind of music to send me off. I would like to add a basketball to this stash for me to talk to but if not, I guess a coconut will do.

The fourth pick must be from the poll list sorry! However, being a tropical island you’d most probably be able to forage for coconuts yourself, heh.
So actually volleyball, but it was my attempt at a joke.

I’d probably be among the first to die but hey, I’d at least try with the flint and large knife. I picked the alcohol because it could sterilize wounds and help with pain. The bottles and box could come in handy too.
For a 4th, the suitcase of random clothes. If you carefully picked some of them apart you could salvage the thread and possibly make a flag to wave.
