    Stranded Alone On An Island!

    You've been stranded alone on an island!

    What five things do you consider to be absolutely essential to have with you?

    The spin on this:

    ~you have to mention something from the list posted last, but it doesn't have to be verbatim...you can be creative and use the words however you want

    ~remember, you're alone on this island, so no friends,family or pets on your list

    ~your cell phone won't work and there's no electricity!


    Okay, I'll start:

    1. the best toolkit Sears ever sold

    2. a book entitled How To Build And Fix Anything When Stranded Alone On An Island (For Dummies)

    3. Power Bars and Bottled Water

    4. notebooks and pens

    5. a library

    All ritey....who's next?

    3. Fishing pole

    4. MPS that is solar powered

    5. Sunblock

    Exclamation


    1.) Toolbox, with carpenter's tools (don't think a mechnic's would do much good!)
    2.) Large tarp
    3.) Books, including Bible (God forbid I be without them!)
    4.) Flint and steel (to make fire)
    5.) Some sort of cooking kit, with water bottle included

    (If I still have my pants on, there's at least two knives in my pocket at all times, and a lighter. I hike a lot, and you never know. A lighter doesn't get wet like matches would.)

    Some of us cry
    Some of us smoke
    Some of us lie
    But it's all just the way
    that we cope with our lives...
