Well, I'm a huge fan of movies about being stuck on islands.. things like plane crashes and ship wreckage ..these kinds of things really interest me! It's funny to because I haven't even been on a plane or a ship before. Not because I don't want to or I'm scared.. I simply just don't have the money or time now to be going to other islands.
I would rather have sticks than stones. Simply because you can make a fire with sticks, cook food and it would help you survive and keep you warm. I would want to have years of food and water because I have seen movies and know that actual people have been stuck on stranded islands for a very very long time.
I would hope to have lighters, matches and warm clothes more things like a knife, health kit, maybe my own tent sense I would have no clue how to make a shelter out of sticks.
Hopefully I would have a couple of friends , both genders to help me because I would fail .. if I was alone. Actually I feel lonely now ..being stuck on an island by myself would be even worse. Hopefully trust worthy people who know more about "how to make a fire" and shelter.
Seriously if I had only sticks and was by myself I would be marked for dead.. even if I tried very hard to live it would be alot harder than myself or many people could imagion . I have alot of paranoia problems so I do think about things like this and what I would do, maybe how I would survive. I could try and write a book out of it .. if I had a passion for writing.
Stones are another story for me.. if I only had stones I would be "doomed" for sure.. sense I don't know how to make a spear out of a stone
. I mean what would I do for food .. throw a rock at a fish? No it would just swim away.. Me having a stone would be like having no keyboard to type this message.
How would I build a shelter or a fire? I guess I could live under a tree. I would probably get lighting struck though. I could possibly also get very cold and receive hypo thermea.
Sometimes I stay up for days to nights and think of things for hours at a time.. I have had so much thought on islands, also many thoughts on how I would survive or cope with becoming stuck on a deserted or a tropical island in all.
I guess if I had some sticks I maybe could find some kind of tree brush and some of the tropical tree string.. sounds weird but it's the rope that comes off of special trees that are not found in many other places other than tropcial islands or certain citys and states.
Then I would hope to have a lighter and if not a lighter matches even though every time I try to light a match it doesn't seem to work.. it will sit there and light up for a moment.. then I would try to light a candle and I would "BURN" myself badly! Lighters are so much better I will tell you the truth. Then I would gather some "stones" to create a very big circle.. which would be the only thing I knew what to use or make stones with. Throw a bunch of sticks and brush.. make sure I have plenty of tree brush , bushes and sticks, so I wouldn't have to run and collect more every time my fire went out. Then light it. Simple.
Hopefully for foods I would have plenty of fruits and I wouldn't have to kill animals for food. I don't mind killing animals its just the skinning part I guess.. I either don't like it or I simply can't do it.. and hints I'm a fail at it. Like I said before I would hope to have "years" of food.. you never know people may not find you. Even if you make a huge fire.. have a radio, build a raft or create a very huge sign that says "Save Us" or "help stuck on island". I find that many times these things are created it is a fail.
I love the whole idea concerning sticks and stones , plus islands and being stucked on one which makes it even greater. I have a huge interest in reality disasters in general is why I wanted to post how I feel about being stuck on an island.
Thanks so much for this great thread!
