This is just a little fun discussion/game.
Now lets say we were all stranded on a deserted island. Okay? What skill/skills do you posses that will help us survive? This is just a fun discussion to learn the creativeness of others.
Obviously being a computer technician is not going to help us. Neither is your modeling career. So what can you do to help?
Myself I can crochet. So I could probably make blankets, and a fishing net for our survival. So what about the rest of you? What can you do?
Or do we have to cast you off and eat you because you cannot do anything to help us survive? Just kidding, no eating, but you get the idea.

Yes, but can you cook with what we have on the island? Raw fish and berries? Or bugs or whatever other horrible things we might have to eat. Haha

My most useful skill is computer skill and communication skill which I use most often at any field. Cooking is also one of the skill I possess. I have advanced skills also which include Programming and use of computer for scientific research. Computer skills is very important these days and it refer to one's ability to utilize the software (and sometimes hardware) of a computer...
isn't it?
isn't it?

Well, I know how to build a tidal fish trap if that'd be of any use 
And I can sail and possibly navigate as well so all we'd need is someone to build a boat and we'd all get off there.

Our boat will most likely be without a motor, will that be okay? And it might leak a little haha.

I was thinking this is some how sounded the same with game survivor. I am a very resourceful person, so I turn the tree our house. I have this creative thing to make it happen. And used any available around us to make it useful.

Well I guess my skills in climbing trees and fishing would be a great help here, I remember during my childhood me and my cousins likes climbing trees in our neighbors cashew farm and steal the fruits, we have to be quick in climbing the trees so we could get as many as we can, and as for fishing, I love the sea and my father have a lot of fisherman friends who taught me how to catch different kinds of fish and ways of cooking them.

With no lighter or matches? Sadly on our island none of our "technology" is there, and that includes those two things. You have to create it by finding flint which could take days, or by rubbing two sticks together and lots of blowing.

If we were stranded on an Island, my skills that could help contribute to our survival would be gathering plants to eat, perhaps fruit, nuts and some edible roots as well. I am also pretty handy with wood. I could help build a raft, that would float, with the purpose to get us to some civilization but also light a fire to keep us warm until the raft was complete.

Hello wickedlove
My knowledge maybe help a little bit. Know which plants could be no harm to our human bodies, or like you, I can crochet as well and I could make a net for fishing or hunting.

Hi,
My greatest skill is to detach myself from a certain situation and then to see the whole situation from an indifferent point of view and then take decisions accordingly. This gives me an ability to differentiate between right and wrong. I have reached this level with the help of spirituality of course. I know, I still have lot more to learn and lot more to improve. There are increase and decrease in amount of mental strength, being a human. But this skill is the source of all my strength. Now, I can accept one's imperfection and still love him/her as a human being. It feels great. It changed my life. Thanks
God bless you

Well...for me I can make a good sumptuous meal out of leftovers, so I guess, my creativeness and love for cooking can help me survive on a deserted Island, Now, I am thinking of making a seafood special wrap in banana leaves and cooked with coconut juice... what do you think?

i will use my best skill. it is a musician. I will sing loudly and play natural instrument that i found. Make a noise, more and more, day by day, until there is someone hear my sounds then i he or she will influenced by me. And then we play music together, this loop around everyday and then the noise become intense and reach other island. The people in another island will hear and look for the source of sounds. They will seek me who stranded in isolate island. Then i will be saved. hehe.. :D
