So You Will Be Stranded Forever on an Island

You probably have heard versions of this before. "If you were to be stranded on an Island for the rest of your life, what three things would you take with you?"

That's such a tough question to answer. For example, would you have medical care available to you while on the Island? Is there electricity and internet available? How about food? Do you have to find your own? I guess you could survive if you can fish and don't eat anything poisonous.

Let's assume for whatever reason, you were given the opportunity to live on an isolated Island for the rest of your life, and the only thing provided would be medical staff checking on you every so often (with an emergency radio to call if needed), but otherwise, you have to fend for yourself. Oh yea, power is not available, so no other electronics of any kind.

That being established, you have no more than three items that you can take with you. For me, I think it would be tools for gathering food and building shelter, like a fishing pole with lots of line, a spear and a saw. Doesn't seem like it's enough to survive, but I suppose we all would be amazed at what we can achieve when faced with a tough situation.

What are your choices? Or is this just not a good idea after all? I don't think I could survive without electricity and all the gadgets that go along with it. Crazy would come rather quickly for me. I'll stay on the mainland, thank you.
