island set ablaze is going to get far more attention than a single tiny flare.


The island is the size of Baton Rouge and has visitors all the time.

He remained on the island overnight before rescue crews reached him the following morning.


He also ate his crewmate to avoid starvation.

Right. He didn't use his radio? He wasn't in the middle of no where. Also why not shoot the flare over water?

Guy is out here shooting flares and spelling out SOS like he is stuck in some uncharted island in the middle of the Pacific.


Sailboat guys are the cyclists of the water.

The island probably needed to be burned anyway. If the lines were mature it will likely make the healthier.

Did the island foxes need to be burned alive and stripped of their habitat?

If I'm trapped on a small island and all the vegetation is dry as shite, I think I might try to shoot the flare out over the water


Id rather the whole island burn and folks are more likely to see it....???
