    Most of these people would be dead in a week. Gym equipment and movies? Seriously? Its a deserted island without electricity. All your exercise will come from trying to survive so why would you need weights and elliptical?

    1. Basic survival manuals, waterproof
    2. Food storage/cooking items - coolers to protect food, cooking utensils, open flame grill, water containers
    3. tarps and ropes for making shelter
    4. Protection - guns, ammo, knives, ax
    5. Books - cause I will get bored trying to stay alive

    Hey you only get to bring 5 things not 10!! Cheater.
    Exactly...
    Heck, if I can have 10 things, lets toss in a double wide trailer and a hand water pump.

    1. carpenters/woodworkers kit

    Hell, the OP is bringing her entire family and all her friends. Why not just bring a whole team of carpenters and woodworkers? A plumber, an electrician, some architects, a few engineers, building materials ... we could turn this island into St. Barth's in short order.

    And for the record, a missing consonant would be useful, too.

    Why are we PLANNING to get stuck? If I knew ahead of time that I was going to be stuck I wouldn't plan an inventory of what to get stuck with, I'd plan a way to get UNSTUCK or I would simply cancel the trip.

    Honestly, sometimes I think I would really like to give it a try for a week, just to see how I would handle it. Would I go all Chuck Noland right away and have a shelter built, be well nourished, and be like "No, thanks. I'm good here," when help came, or would I totally flip out and just be really hungry and pissed off?

    1. My fiance
    2. My paramedic so I wouldn't die
    3. My dogs
    4. An abundance of food
    5. An abundance of clean water.


    Why would I want to bring a boat? Islands are fun! ;)

    Keep in mind that the OP claims that there are coconut trees, a few fresh waterfalls, and an abundance of fish.
    This should be kept in mind when planning your survival.
