Parsnip Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 I offered this up to my 7 year old who chose the dog and the rifle. I said he's still got $5 left but he says he's saving that for if there's a shop. I said I don't think there'll be a shop. He said yeah but what if there is?

1of4 Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Shame there was no musical instruments on the list. Never been a spendthrift so I'll go for the internet, the rifle and save the last 1d. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rev Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 It's massively unlikely that the island @David describes could exist. The variation in temperature could only be seen in a proper inland desert, where the sand is the key barometer of temperature. Such variations simply wouldn't happen on a island surrounded by water, due to water being far harder to heat than sand. It's also unlikely such a large island, behind Cyprus in size, although larger than the tourist friendly Southern Cyprus and Tobago, with a coastline made up almost exclusively of beaches, and with abundant reserves of fish, wouldn't have been settled. For that reason I'm out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By my calculations you still have 1824 days remaining before you can leave. Go fishing, will take your mind of it for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just assumed that we were still on old coinage, as the ancient OP hasn't got his head around decimalisation yet? ... Is this island one of our old colonies? That might clear things up, on the local currency issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cisse Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 A dog, fishing gear, the phone call and beer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GenBr Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 If I can replace the Mac with a PC I will take that. With full internet access you would have access to dcfcfans, newspapers, books, youtube/tv/etc, music, communications to friends and family and you could use the repository of all human knowledge to teach yourself how to make a fishing rod, gun, alcohol and how to domesticate the local animals. If I have to keep the Mac I suppose it could still be useful - probably use the screen to focus light to start a fire or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The island is full of wildlife, edible fruits and materials to build a shelter/shack.
