How would you survive?

You have been selected to participate in a "Survival" reality TV show. You and one other contestant will be put on a remote desert island out in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.

To win, you must outlast the other contestant who is to be placed on the opposite side of the island (with no contact allowed between the two of you, or the outside world). At any time you may give up and call for rescue with a special radio that has been provided.

Your back pack is limited to ten personal items of your choice (along with the rescue radio) that will fit into a regular size backpack. Decide which items you will take and why? Please respond in paragraph form (not a list).

Remember to support your decision making with good, common sense reasoning. Explain what each item is and how it would be useful to your coming out on top of this million dollar competition.

  13. First of all, I would bring a long stick just big enough to fit in the backpack and a knife so I could sharpen the stick with the knife and make a staff for protection and I can stab fish in the water and cook it. I would also bring a water source as such as a water bottle to prevent dehydration. I would bring rope to climb up steep heights. A flashlight when it gets dark and to search caves for minerals. Matches to create a fire. Just in case I get injured I'd bring a first aid kit. Medication if I get sick. And last a compass so I don't get lost.
