No books...they would just weigh me down more and take up valuable space, no movies...why do I need movies? I don't need a stinking laptop either, no music (make my own when I need to entertain the other people in my head)...

Just a backpack filled with my picks of survival gear; a good quality rifle with a nice ammo load for hunting/defense with no optics other than the small binoculars in the gear I pack.

Who has time for nookie in a survival situation...come on man make a thread that actually has some good thoughts in it and not this crazy talk about "deserted" islands.

Also what type of island are we talking about here? Where is it located on the surface of the world? Climate? Food sources? etc...

six months on a deserted Island

Porn is not needed since the real thing would be served to you on a daily basis.


In my mind, "deserted" means no one else there. Is your idea of "porn" yanking it relentlessly?

You found some monkeys and decided to get your jungle on?

Watch it, those things'll bite ya!

As far as your questions go, no way I could decide. As long as there is food and booze, and a plentiful supply of T&A (human and non-imaginary, please), I don't think I'd even care to have electricity, or a laptop.

I just need a fishing pole, some Pink Floyd and a few David Eddings or Margret Weiss/Tracy Hickman books.

I'm assuming since food is provided, so is the beer.


Regarding the ladies......I'd rather they be removed from the island so I could actually enjoy my time there without listening to the nagging and stupidity that tends to spew from their mouths.

I'd just include a case of duct tape and a few hundred zip-ties in my travel bag.  :lol

And +1 on the fishing gear

Our Honeymoon was pretty "deserted".  The island was 1 mile wide and 2 miles long.   (the one in foreground)



We only packed what would fit in a backpack for clothes (which was for the most part optional), and the only technology we brought was a camera and my laptop ( We own a DJ business so all of our music is on it).  There was electricity available, but that was it for basically for lighting (no TV, no intardnetz, no Air Conditioning, etc).

The only time we saw another human being was when we got our daily deliveries of the basic necessities...      :devil





It was as close to being deserted as I think we could have gotten.  In fact, the island staff made it a point to stay as unseen as possible.

So I think we had everything we would have needed.....

Each other

Tunes

Food/Booze

and my mistress, Mary Jane (it's OK, my wife and her get along quite well)  :noid

What five Movies would you bring.

-Band of Brothers, The Bourne Trilogy, Lord of the Rings Trilogy, Star Wars IV V VI Trilogy, Ocean's Trilogy. :x :banana: :O
What five Series would you bring.

-House, South Park, Scrubs, then more South Park and Scrubs. :aok
What five Music artists albums would you bring.

-3 Doors Down, Led Zeppelin, Eminem, Breaking Benjamin, and alot of underground rap and rock artists.
What five Books would you bring.

-I'd be watching too much TV and listening to too much music... but i do read.
What five Offline Games would you bring.

-Medal of Honor Pacific Assault, Company of Heroes with Expansions and patches, CoD II, Lord of the Rings BFME II and I, and every Command and Conquer Game sold to mankind! (either that or every MechWarrior game sold to mankind) :aok

Think in the lines of what would you bring on your laptop if you were on a deserted island like the one in Lost.








-Screw the laptop just give me the love of my life, unlimited supply of food and water and leave me alone :D

Deserted means NO Power, hence the word Deserted, laptop would last like someone else said about 4 hours, why torment yourself , enough food, booze for 6 months and Shania Twain, she could sing to me as i chased her around the Island  :x

"Books:

Is that the four-part one?
