Say you were marooned on a tropical island

NAS71232

The plane crashed on the island and no one else survived. You had plenty of supplies on the plane. You were off the grid/radar and they thought you drowned.

It was a rich paradise, full of life.

You would have to hunt wild boar and catch fish if you wanted meat. There would be tropical fruit if you wanted it. There would be no internet.

I think most would want to go home, back to the easy convenience of suburban life.

I think I would suffer at first and would want to be found. I would stay if I could.

You would feel so alive in survival mode.

Do you think you would survive in this situation?

Honestly, I  think I would die within a week. I have no survival skills. I don't know how to fish. The wild boars will probably kill me instead.

  • I have most of the skills needed. I could survive till I was rescued I think. Depends on how many poisonous things there were.

    I'd try and scavenge things from the plane. Shelter and water are key. Fire is a good thing to have but not that easy to create particularly if it is damp. Some sort of source from the plane would make it a lot easier. Doing it with sticks and a bow is hard.

    Fishing is easier with a line than a sharp stick. But I guess trial and error and necessity would help.

    A boar is risky. You don't want to get injured. Maybe a pit with sharpened sticks would work.
