re: OT Baws, if you were stranded on a deserted island, which of these 4 items would you pick?

How are you going to smoke your weed if you don't have matches

Knife
Gun if it has bullets, if not flare
Water purifier
Raft

Whole goal is getting out. So got to use water purifier and raft

Knife
First Aid kit
Saw
Matches

The knife for self-defense and hunting (including making spears).
The first aid kit because it's definitely something better to have and not need than need and not have.
The saw to cut trees for shelter and fire.
The matches for fire.

The fleshlight

Pot
Knife
Boots
Fishing rod

Water, food, shelter are the big three. Several ways to go.

Knife is No. 1 because it can make or help make other items. Protection, skinning, cleaning, chopping, digging, etc.

Pot is second because it cannot be made or replaced by other items. It can capture water for drinking, cooking, cleaning, sterilizing, melting ... and, of course, boiling crabs and shrimp.

Tent if it is the modern kind with netting (for fishing) and tarp-type material. Can also capture or channel water.

After that it’s a toss up but I would go with unlimited matches because I’m too lazy to be rubbing sticks together. Fire not only for cooking but for all of life’s needs really.

Be ready to eat a lot of bugs and tubers until you learn how to catch fish or build traps. A man with normal or above normal body fat (most Americans) can go about 21+ days without food — hunger disappears in four days. But you need water a lot, particularly when food is scarce. Alas, cuts and broken bones would probably kill you within a year — then that first aid kit would have been nice or those vitamins.

Now, if there are natives on the island then just load up on the weed and trade for everything else you need, including pussy.

Mirror
Knife
Tarp
Weed if it has seeds to grow more. If not then the first aid kit

ETA. Obviously the weed if seeds are available is a huge multi resource. You have quite a few medicinal uses of course. But the bush can be used in many ways if the seeds are available.

Rifle-protection/hunting, matches-fire, pot-cooking/boiling water, tent-keeping away from insects is huge. Goal would be to build a fire big enough to signal someone.

Great minds think alike.

Water purifier, pot, handsaw, knife. Everything else can be improvised, is nonessential or would run out.

This is the correct answer providing you know how to make fire (without matches).....
