For things like rope for example I'm just assuming it's infinite rope, since you're not given information about amounts.

Tent

Either Mirror or Matches for the same reason

if I was on a deserted island I don't think I'd wanna leave
I'd claim the island as my own, name it and get to work on colonizing the land of Me.
Maybe try to make a ghost town of sorts and make tulpa townspeople. That'd be great.

knife, tent, pot, and matches seem best. knife can be used to make pointy stick, pointy stick all you need for hunting/fishing. plus if you make a bow somehow, you could then use knife to make arrows sorta. or you could just stab shit with the knife.

Knife, Rope, Compass, Purifier.

This is assuming the hunting rifle doesn't have much ammo, otherwise, replace compass with rifle.

Knife because it has a million different uses.

Rope to tie shit together to make shelter and all kinds of useful shit.

Compass to ensure I never get lost.

Purifier for obvious reasons.

Tarp- Shelter, condensing water, maybe netting fish

Water Purifier (water)
Flare gun (escape)

>>26665166
The fishing rod seems like a poor answer to getting food. You ever fished with a line in choppy water? It's good sport if you've got a strong line, but assuming that's a standard fishing pole I feel like a net or spear would serve you better.

Have you ever been in the open ocean? Navigating against ocean currents with a raft and paddle is literally impossible. Despite what movies show any small storm in an inflatable raft means you're going into the water and drowning.

The fishing rod is the only logical choice for longevity. The gun as limited bullets, the knife means you have to come into close contact with dangerous wildlife in order to kill, everything else there doesn't really help get you food.

All I'm saying is I've done some freshwater and saltwater fishing. Freshwater fishing with a rod is productive. Not the case in salt water. A typical "desert island" with shallows would make netting or spearfishing more viable. All "some shit I made" has to do is trap or poke the fish. Without bait, strong line, or basically a tacklebox, idk about rod fishing.

The pot would be nice, but as another anon said, this is an island. The pot will go to shit in a few days from the salt water.

>tossups: Tent/Tarp/Hammock
This all depends on what kind of island I'm on. If it's a desert island, the tarp. If it's a tropical island, the hammock. If this is any sort of temperate or arctic island, the tent will keep me warm better.

Eat shit namefaggot.
>>
>>26665449
COuldnt the tent, if you wanted it to, simply be taken down and used as a tarp, OP doesnt specify the size of either, so neither would really be advantageous as a tarp, and the tent also doubles as a tent.

A compass can be used to direct yourself simply within the island so you dont get lost like a fucking dumbass, ie "im going north, when i want to go back ill head south" rather than "im going this way, when i come back ill totally know where im gojng!"

Give more details on the climate It might be a desert island or a tropical one there's a big difference. Ex: on a tropical island you won't need the water purifier since it rains quite often so you just need to collect raining water.

To start a fire

Ideally, id set up somewhere off a beach. Tarp goes up for shelter in case of storms until I make a decent shelter. Id also plan to keep a fire going 24/7, to conserve matches.

My days would pretty much be spent finding firewood and slowly upgrading my shelter. Id also test to see what local flora I could eat, if there are any coconut trees which would be a godsend, and any native animals that I could hunt.
>>
Make a pot out of hardened clay. Fire is the hardest thing to make and maintain so fucking build that first. You don't need any tools just a knife or a saw that is up to preference. A saw can be reverse blade sharpened too over time using a rock so again, preference.

A tarp is suitable to help a shelter. Is it a warm island? If so then fuck the tent just get a tarp and build a shelter. Its also a skill you'll need.

Fishing rod is nice and all but do you have any hooks? bait? What happens when you lose your hook? Sorry, it works for a little while but not forever.

First aid kit might be nice i'd probably take that.

If it uses electricity i'd just leave it.

water filter? Fuck the pot I have a fucking filter and something to do all day when i'm bored. Why would you not take this?

Boots? ...eh. Rather have rope.

matches run out and you need to learn to make fire, not depend on something else.

flare gun only works if somebody else is there to see it.

toilet paper runs out too..

sunscreen is retarded. Vitamins are a trap. A gun is only useful as either an exit or if there's a boat. Again useless.

Fuck who cares about a compass if its a small island. Mirror is useless.

repellent is useless. hammock might be nice in addition to the tarp.

volleyball is a fucking must. Rope is ...rope... I have a tarp i dont need rope.


dude weed lmao.


All these choices fucking suck.
>>
>>26665683
Lets face it, The sun moves over the day, and many people are too stupid to account for that, or even use the stars period. For someone smart enough, the compass is redundant, but for your average fuck, especially on here, I'd say its a decent choice.

In my mind the cooking pot has a dual purpose. You can use it boil water and collect condensation that is clean water or you can use it cook food. You go with it every time because it's about as useful as it gets.

The flare gun is a tough one though... it might really be your only hope of getting out of there.

>>26665910
If I had the time before night I'd also look into making a bowdrill, which shouldn't be too hard because I went for a knife and a handsaw. If I saw any stones about the right size I'd keep them too, either for ammunition for a sling down the line or to form an axe head.

Basically the plan is to chill in the arcology while the sorceress teaches me magic, and defeat the easier of the nemeses using the eye to find it.

Hiking boots will be very important going inland looking for a water source

>>26666162
rocks don't keep keep an edge sharp enough for that kind of work. You could use a stone one for cutting down trees and processing wood, but it would be useless for everything else. You'd need flint to get close to the intricacy of a knife, and flintknapping takes serious skill, knowledge and the end product will also be utterly inferior to a metal blade in every way.
>>
>>26666203
it depends on whether or not you get a "regular" pair of shoes if you opt out of taking the hiking boots. I would survive in my regular sneekers but if I was expected to go barefooted than hiking boots suddenly become essential
>>
Pot
Fishing rod
Knife
Flare gun

I would use my pot to collect water from plants and maybe coconuts
I would fish with the fishing rod
I would find a nice sheltered spot and create a leaf bed and use large leaves to make a funnel to my pot for rainwater.

I would do all this until a ship or a plane flying low came by and hope they notice me.

Raft
Fishing rod
Tarp
Pot

Upon arriving on the island I would find all possible food then bring it on the raft, tarp to protect me from the sun while on the raft as well as collect rainwater when it rains and collect in the pot, fishing rod for fish

over the next days I would cut strips of bark from the saplings to make into rope.

What part of deserted island did you miss? The best game you're going to get is birds and fish, and the birds will leave when they realize there's a fucking predator (you) on the island.

>>26664475
tarp for easy cover. can catch water with it as well

pot for cooking meals and boiling water

fishing rod for fishing food. catch bait/fish with stick traps, make hooks out of fish bones or something scavenged on island.

knife for different uses. can use as a mini kind of axe, can use to fillet, can use to cut vines, sharpen sticks etc.

it really depends on the island. you could find something to use as sunscreen/insect reppelent/raft/water purifier/first aid (some) and other things in the wild depending on where you are.
you can signal using certian types of fires instead of a flare gun. usually setup materials that will catch fire quick and put them high up, but it depends on if theres someone actually searching for you.
a flare gun is easily recognizable as an emergency SOS while a fire isn't really
a hammock/sleeping area could be made with trees/vines/leaves.

a tent just saves you from insects... might be better than tarp but depends where you are.
>>
>>26666867
>beaches, trees, coconuts, crustaceans, fish, snails

Yes to all of those. But out of all of those, the only thing you're going to be injuring yourself on is the trees/coconut combo, and if you're climbing trees to get a coconut then you're literally retarded and a first aid kit won't be helping you.

>small rodents

No. Rodents don't just appear on islands. They have to come from somewhere. If there's no people, there's no rodents.

>various tropical fruits, edible ruits

Okay. Still not seeing the part where you need a first aid kit.

>varied geography

Again, no. Pacific islands are constantly being weathered down by torrential rain, hurricanes/typhoons, and changes in the water level.

Still no first aid kit needed.

Raft, good fishing rod, tarp, flare gun. Leaving for sea eventuality and not burning in the sun. Use raft plus tarp for sheter, to gather rain water, going to deeper water where fishing is better. Stick around on island until the plane is flying over head, hope im being looked for, shoot flare. Or i get enough supplies, food and water gathered and decided I'm not getting rescued, then head to sea to hope for a miracle end the get crushed in a storm.

That doesn't make a difference. The whole point of being stranded on a desert island is to survive until rescue.

I'm getting off this place asap so: raft, rope, gun and first aid kit.

I shoot a sea creature to knock it out. Quickly grab it and tie it to my raft. Patch the thing up with bandage and wait for it to recover. Once it's moving I shoot around it to get it swimming away, dragging me to safety.

>>26667117
Oh to add and you can steal water from the ground with a tarp if needed. Dig deep enough, stretch tarp over hole, with something under the center, and pin down the sides with rocks. Then place a less heavy rock and over time, the water for the ground will gather on the tarp and drip into whatever at center of the hole.

Right, and you don't need a first aid kit unless you're intentionally doing something stupid like climbing trees.

>And you seem to think that it's impossible for any sort of life to be indigenous to an island

I never said that. The vast majority of deserted islands aren't going to have rodents on them because the vast majority of islands rose out of the ocean from either volcanic activity or coral reefs.

if you can't see how surviving in the wild will injure you then I just don't know what to say to you man, you have to exert energy to survive. Working with blades, crafting tools, processing wood, fishing, hunting animals, all inherently dangerous activities.
>>
>>26667204

People do literally all of those things every day and the rate of injury for any of them is absolutely minuscule when you take into account the number of people doing them. My question is, why do you believe that injury is suddenly much more likely just because you're doing it in the wild?

are you some sort of seer? Can you look into a crystal ball and see exactly how often people get injured doing these things? In the wild, you do these activities more often, and with more primitive tools. You do them in harsh conditions, you're exhausted from walking, haven't slept much, are dehydrated and hungry. If you have any more questions take it to the /out/ thread on this topic because I simply cannot handle your level of retardation any longer.
>>
>>26667234
I was thinking of the first aid kit as like a real med kit, not just band aids. If the kit had antibiotics, pain killers, antiseptic, and sutures it would be extremely useful. Dysentery and cholera would be awful ways to die, and just in case you did seriously injure yourself you could have a sliver of hope to not die from infection.
>>
>>26667268
>are you some sort of seer? Can you look into a crystal ball and see exactly how often people get injured doing these things?

Hospital records and workplace accident reports. You might have a point with home incidents, but again it's common sense that the number of people injuring themselves with a knife is extraordinarily small compared to the amount of people that use a knife in a day.

The fact of the matter is that you're entranced with the story tale version of being stuck on an island. A story has action, suspense, and thrills. But reality is boring and dry. Read about real survival stories about people stuck in the wild. It's mostly just sitting around waiting for someone to eventually find you.
>>
>>26667366
>boring and dry
Island survival is fucking awful, it's not boring in the slightest. 99% of people on this board would die within a month. Not to mention using a knife to cut a tomato in your kitchen isn't going to be nearly as likely to injure you as using it to craft something in the rain when you've gone three days without eating.

I hole-hardedly agree, but allow me to play doubles advocate here for a moment. For all intensive purposes I think you are wrong. In an age where false morals are a diamond dozen, true virtues are a blessing in the skies. We often put our false morality on a petal stool like a bunch of pre-Madonnas, but you all seem to be taking something very valuable for granite. So I ask of you to mustard up all the strength you can because it is a doggy dog world out there. Although there is some merit to what you are saying it seems like you have a huge ship on your shoulder. In your argument you seem to throw everything in but the kids Nsync, and even though you are having a feel day with this I am here to bring you back into reality. I have a sick sense when it comes to these types of things. It is almost spooky, because I cannot turn a blonde eye to these glaring flaws in your rhetoric. I have zero taller ants when it comes to people spouting out hate in the name of moral righteousness. You just need to remember what comes around is all around, and when supply and command fails you will be the first to go. Make my words, when you get down to brass stacks it doesn't take rocket appliances to get two birds stoned at once. It's clear who makes the pants in this relationship, and sometimes you just have to swallow your prize and accept the facts. You might have to come to this conclusion through denial and error but I swear on my mother's mating name that when you put the petal to the medal you will pass with flying carpets like it's a peach of cake.

Late reply, but I assume that wild life and the supplies you can take are limited. Let's say that you're stuck on this island for longer than a year until SAR comes.

I would have to choose: knife, hand saw, matches and the tarp.

Knife will be your most useful survival tool , the hand saw is to cut larger branches or to cut down a small tree. Matches obviously to light a fire and a tarp to collect rain water and can be used for other purposes.

Now the island will most likely be a raining shit hole and you won't have anything to burn because your fuel will be constantly soaked. You need the hacksaw to cut down small trees and then cut into logs so you can start a drying process.

I set on this for about 20 minutes, and I believed I reached the best choice possible.

First, I divided all the items into 3 categories:

1. Basic survival items like knife and rope
2. Items that are important but not basic like fishing rod or matches
3. Unrelated shit you don't need like toilet paper and iPod

>Water purifier
The island is deserted, so I assume there are no water sources other than sea water. So water purifier is a 100% must. No purifier = Automatic death.
This belongs on category 2 because MAYBE you can collect rain water only but they'll make your life shit.

>Tent
In a deserted place it's dangerous to have no shelter. A tent is a complete necessity.
Also, it can possibly be used as a tarp.
Belongs on category 1.

>Hunting rifle
4 important uses:

1. Scope as binoculars
2. Hunting
3. Protraction
4. Suicide.


>Matches
Absolute must. To be used for hunting, light, protection and portable light.

This is the best choice. Nothing is better.

>implying a water purifier would last long
>implying you couldn't just boil water
>implying you could not just create your own shelter
>implying OP's image said anything about ammunition

>>
>>26670454
Why do people think deserted islands are nothing but constant sunshine? Rain water is enough to keep you going, so there's no need for any water purifier.

>tent
You can most likely build your own shelter with branches, leaves and brush around the island. Or you no, find a cave on the island. It's convenient to have at first but it's a wasted pick.

>hunting rifle
Now that you've established you'll be living in a tent rather than a cave, your gun is going to get soaked and will corrode. Convenient at first, but yet again another wasted pick. I don't think you would be encountering any large mammal on an island other than a boar, which can be lured into a trap or killed with a spear made with your knife.

>matches
The only thing you got right.
