Does this island have an internet connection?? If so I'll just order myself up a yacht and sail away.. If not, then I refuse to be marooned on this island which is clearly inferior and not up to standard.

Oh well, if you want me to be serious... I'd probably survive on fish and coconuts, but with my luck, after living like that for several weeks, I'd find that there was a luxury resort hotel on the other side of the island.

I don't know... I will look for some sharp rocks or large branches and look for some animals to kill and eat. I will start looking for water, and try to start a fire, look for shelter. When all my immediate problems are finished I will work on making a signal to attract attention so I may be rescued

hi merlinsorca.. nice having you here... like what wild animals can you dare to kill? arent you afraid of them? what kind of water if their in the island dont rain always? keep sharing.. friend

I will try looking for little things like fish and any smaller animals on the island (I don't know what island I'm on yet). I will try to find a river or lake, because the saltwater is bad... If there is a really big animal I'll try to avoid it...

lol =D I will love to be stranded on an island!! hehe ^_^ It's gonna be so fun because i will have to survive on my own, and be trusting my own instinct.. haha =D Food are always everywhere, and it depends on whether we dare to eat it not.. haha =D Sleeping is not a problem, as long as i'm able to make a fire for myself as that's very important.. As it's cold at night, fire wil be able to keep me warm, and also, passing ships will be able to see the light at night, and smoke in the day, boosting my chances of being found.. haha =D

If stranded alone, i will find a way to survive..definitely.. Come up with a plan on how to get home, i guess that's what everyone wants to do if stranded in an island. Even in movies you can see it.. Maybe i face many trials and problems,, maybe i can face many dangerous animals or even monster.. But i know i will survive and be strong as TARZAN!...hahaha.. Ahahahahaha...awooohh.....^_^

Take a lot of log and make a big "HELP" sign on the beach, hoping some helicopter will see and come rescue me. . Never drink the salt water because it will make you go crazy, really. I hope it rain then I can drink the rain water. Or find plants that have water on or in them. I don't know what will I do, eat grass or leaves maybe. . If I am stranded empty handed then maybe I will spend time making fire using the wood like primitive people, if I ever succeed that is. One thing for sure is that I will be very very scared.
• Malaysia
27 Aug 09
Haha, that would be impossible as I don't know how to hunt wild animals. If they are still alive and I try to catch them, I think all that will happen is me and the animal running around chasing and be chased. . So, I will just be a vegetarian and eat the plants. Huhuhu.... You make me think, maybe I better start to learn from somewhere how to survive if stranded on an island without anything.

The Cast Away is a very good film.It told a story.Chuck is a businessman who is always so busy that he has little time for his friends.He is a successful manager in a company that sends mail all over the world.One day Chuck is on a flight across the Pacific Ocean when suddenly his plane crashes,Chuck survies the crash and lands on a deserted island.On the island .Chuck has to learn to survie all alonee. Perhaps the most difficult challenge is how to survive without friends .In order to survive,Chuck develops a friend with an unusual friend-a volleyball he calls Wilson.I suggest that you should watch this movie-Cast Away.

If I were stranded alone on an island, the first thing I would do was to find a shelter and secure food and water resource. I should find fruit trees as well as streams or rivers. I don't know exactly what to do if I got sick. I think this is something you need to let it be when it happens to you. I will also consider setting up a sort of SOS beacon if I manage to survive. It is basically some burning thing that can give out a lot of smoke so that it can catch notice from ships passing by.

When i get into this condition,i'll be scared. i'll look for something to eat and some water to drink. But actually i don't know how to make fire despite it is very important, even so i'll always try my best to learn to do it and pray for that.
@acie_21 (5633)

I just hunt for my food,and eat the food no doubt whether it is clean or dirty, look for some wood to make my shelter in fire, and drink in salty water, or just hunt for wild animals to be my clothes or food, and some how look for alternative way to survive, and look for people to rescue you.
@acie_21 (5633)

heheeh!thanks preciousgem.. its really hard to live and sirvive in the wild most specialy if your not used to live in a difficult way..are used to if that situation happens?
• Philippines

Hmm. this is exactly the reason why I watch survivorman in discovery channel.. It's really scary when you think of it., but I think instincts will get you through it, just like tom hanks.

I will probably do the same thing what I had seen in the movie Cast Away. Since I will just be alone by myself, I will do anything just to survive. Get some food, do a makeshift house.

Hello Acie, Let me think...ok,granting...i was stranded..all alone in an island.(no choice,i am already stranded) First thing i would do is,gather firewoods and start making a fire even if it still daytime,to catch attention. And look for a safe place to stay at night..or..i just hope it's not rainy season..then i can sleep besides the fire which i think is safer to sleep with...would look for some leaves or anything to cover the sand or let it be that way..for i have no choice becoz i am all alone in that island...wahhhhhhhno internet..no cellphone..no mylot... Then..i would pray hard that,i will be rescued soonest the possible or else..i can't reach my payout in mylot if i stay too long in that secluded island...hahahaha

yup that is just one of my dreams to come true, which is most unlikely, Anyways , i think i have watched too much of discovery channel and can tackle the natures challenges and will be able to survive in an island, will become like an early man and follow all the old methods, build hunting tools, use stones, rub twigs and get fire, hunt small animals, use bamboo and build tents, conserve rain water and drink it, target cocunut trees for its cocunut, branches, leaves etc and go into the forest and collect fruits and do hard work in the day and enjoy my life in the night, can live the life to the fullest, no one to care bout and no one to question, most important, become friends with wild animals.....he he

I'd do anything to survive just like what Tom Hanks did in his movie Castaway minus his imaginary friend, Wilson. Instead I'd keep on asking myself questions aloud and answer my own questions too. I would look at the bright side of my predicament and consider my being alone in the island some kind of total privacy. lol

It's quite simple i would do anything to survive. I would try to learn the basics:making a fire, cathing fish/animals, i would make a shelter, a huge SOS sign and explore the whole island. I would try to stay alive till the end. I have a strong will to live. XD

Hmm....If I was stranded on a island ,I'd be: -really,really scared -yell to see if I'm actually alone -be very sad that I am alone -get a really big stick -start looking for food and pray not to get eaten The process would repeat from dawn.
