Say you were marooned on a tropical island

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’ve watched survival programmes and understand the theory of survival in the wild, but actually surviving in an unknown environment would be a very challenging. 

    I don’t think I could kill a wild boar even if it was standing still in front of me.

    I would have a go at lighting a fire, making a shelter, finding fresh water to boil and fishing.
