Dimmu Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 Then I'd go with: 4d - Full library of books. Not sure 5 years is enough... 4d - King size bed & bedding. Normally you spend 1/3 of your life in it, but with all the books maybe 66%? 1d - Rifle and unlimited ammo. Just in case those nosy and frenzy missionaries manage to find my island. 1d - Fishing rod, tackle and bait. Daily activity. Where do I sign? Can I go already?

Does the 'Desert' in desert island just mean 'Deserted'? I always picture hot and sandy... I'm going to tweet Susie Dent, unless she's blocked me again.

Day Posted November 30, 2018 Author Share Posted November 30, 2018 Ok, to clear things up. It’s a deserted desert island, roughly 50 miles from the North beach coastline to the southern coastline and 46 miles from the west to the eastern coastline. The coastline is 98% beach, with 2% being rocky areas although it’s possible to walk around the island if you wish, which you may as you’re there for 5 years. During the day temperatures can reach into the high 30’s during the summer months and 10c at night, cooling to 15c in the day during winter and 5c at night. The beaches on average are half a mile out to sea, behind that is a large forest area with running fresh water streams, fruit including bananas and coconuts, monkeys, boar, snakes, spiders and other little critters. There is also one tiger, nobody knows how it got there, but you should try and avoid at all cost if you only have a fishing rod in your hand. The fishing would be extremely popular if people lived here, the water around the island is stuffed full of fish, you would have no problem hauling a few in for your supper, but don’t think about stocking up as the fridge if chosen is for alcohol only. If you choose to take a pet with you as a companion, all pet food is supplied, we like pets and feel you will have enough on your hands finding food, collecting water and maintaining a fire to worry about feeding your kitten.

cstand Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Fishing rod and tackle. Mac and full internet so I can invite Eleanor Yeld Hutchings of Save our seas foundation to help me look after the marine wildlife. As she walks up the beach from the sea in her wetsuit it would like the Ronnie Corbett castaway sketch but I would not want a round of golf?
