Stranded on an Island

If you were stranded on a deserted island, what three things would you want with you?

1. Water
2. Fishing stuff
3. Tent

1. Spear
2. Bowl
3. Rope
1. Food (Including chocolate, salty snacks and beverages).
2. A charged Android phone.
3. Warm clothes to wear while waiting for the rescue ship that I called using my charged phone.

Gotta be prepared. 😎
Shiet I might actually enjoy living there lol

Probably a lighter to start fires and such, a flare gun with ammo to signal to planes, and a bunch of rope to help with creating a shelter and such.

You can always boil the sea water lol, eventually you'll have to cause you'd run out of the water you brought

You can't boil away the salt in sea water. You'll have to use condensation to catch the evaporated water. Something you can also do without boiling it.

Knife
Fire Starter
Steel Bowl

I'd go Ed Stafford on that island.

I would have to say

1. Full tang high quality knife such as my Becker BK16
2. 6" Ferro Rod (Not a permanent option but definitely good for a long time until getting things settled)
3. Some kind of stainless steel container such as the Bush Pot by Self Reliance Outfitters

If we could throw in a 4th I would say a good quality hatchet such as Fiskars X7, Marbles or CondorTK

I base that on likely being stranded long term, potentially months, years or even longer.
A durable multi-tool (like a Swiss Army knife): Versatile and essential for building shelters, preparing food, and crafting tools.

A waterproof fire-starting kit: Reliable fire is critical for warmth, cooking, signaling, and safety.

A solar-powered satellite communication device: For calling for rescue or sending a distress signal.
