What I Would do if I was Stranded on a Desert Island (and Could Only Take Five Things with me).

Everyone reading this had heard this prompt before. What would you do if you were isolated from the rest of the world, on a dessert island in this case, and could only take five items with you? 

This one was tough for me to decide. My first thought was that I'd take my family with me. Five items I can bring, five extra family members (including my cat); it's perfect! But then I realized that we'd die of thirst within the first few days, and nobody would thank me much for that. So the family was out. 

And so instead I've chosen the following few items. According to the rules of this prompt- my rules, true- you can have unlimited amounts of whatever you bring. With that in mind, lets get to the list.

Clothes 

A few objections may instantly come to your mind here; "Hey, that's several items in one!" and "Really? What about water?"

To answer the first question, I have to cut corners here. I'm sorry, but I do. Maybe I sewed everything together to make a onesie? If it would really make you feel better, I suppose it could just be a bunch of shirts that I could make into other clothes. It wouldn't be very comfortable though.

To answer the second question; yes, really. I don't want to run around nude on the island! What about sunburn? Yes, it would also be rather awkward. And as for the water...

Water Filters

I need to drink to stay alive. Pretty self explanatory, people.

A Cornucopia

Again, I'm cutting corners here. But I need to eat as well!

An Iphone

I can't bring my family along... but I can still talk to them, right? And I could phone for help, to. This is all, of course, assuming good service. I also wouldn't mind some WiFi, and maybe a charger that I could plug into an electricity-conducting tree somewhere...

A Handy Multi-Tool

In other words, an axe with flint siding and a steel rod hanging off of it. Fu\ire and shelter in one, baby.

As usual, I've managed to sidestep the true meaning of the question. I think I'm supposed to say things that would tell you what kind of a person I am, but instead I've gone and planned for survival. Hey, I want to live! Is that such a crime? 

Until Christmas day, when I will still be posting, I want to wish you a merry Christmas. Get lots of presents, and I'll see you then.
