What to bring on a deserted island?
What to bring on a deserted island?
If you were stranded on a deserted island and could only bring 3 things, what would they be and why?
I'm unlikely to be stuck on a deserted island because I rarely travel and live near a Metro Manila. However, if something like this happened while on vacation, I would most likely bring presence of mind, fearless heart, and steadfast faith. Okay, enough with the intangibles. Here are the items I would carry if I were stranded on a deserted island.
On a deserted island, I initially considered carrying a multi-tool, match sticks, and a blanket. However, the multi-tool may get confiscated at the airport, the match sticks may become wet, and the blanket may be too bulky to carry on my backpack, or I may simply be overthinking things. So, when I was thinking about what I should bring, I looked inside my backpack to see what I generally bring. I am a light packer, and whenever I travel, I sometimes bring my laptop so that I may work wherever I can and use my PTO as little as possible. So here are some items that I already have in my backpack that I intend to bring with me to a deserted island.
Aqua Flask
This is one of the things I always have with me when I leave the house, and if I get stranded on a deserted island, it will definitely be in my backpack. This could be used to hold spring water, buko juice, or coconut water. In addition, it is far more durable than what I was previously using, therefore I believe this will aid in my ability to prolong my life on the island. I'm not plugging anything here, by the way. 😂
Sharingan err Keys
These keys are for my workplace storage container and some older ones are for my previous appartment. These keys might be used as a weapon against bears and wolves, or in a more practical manner, I could use them as a sharp object to cut any food I can find, such as fish and greens. I may use any rough stone to be used as a grindstone to sharpen these keys.
Family Photo
Finally, I would bring a picture of my family. This will help me maintain my sanity, serve as a reminder to not give up, and ensure that I can return home. (teary-eyed...)
However, I would still bring everything I indicated earlier: presence of mind, fearless heart, and steadfast faith. I need mental clarity in order to make sound decisions. The climate on a deserted island may be tough, but if you act quietly, things will be easier. I also need a brave heart to keep going since I need to focus on a single goal: returning home. Finally, I need myself to maintain an unwavering faith in God. Because even when I doubt myself, I will never doubt God's willingness to abandon me.
We can sometimes see a deserted island as a tremendous crisis or storm in our lives. But when we face storms in our lives, I hope and pray that we would not ask God to remove the storm, but rather to give us the strength to face it head-on
All photos are mine, unless otherwise stated.

Out of the three, I find the family portrait relatable sympre since tatay na tayo most of what we do is for our family na. This will also keep my sanity in tack, may babalikan pa ako hopefully after sa isla
Aquaflask - medyo tagilid. I might pick a bolo probably pag ganito yung pag-iinuman ko ng tubig. Kamay nalang, kasooo baka malayo ang clean water hahah patay.
Yung susi ng locker mo di ko ma figure out kung paano magiging weapon parin hahah. The apartment keys since it has edges pwede pa.
Uu, iba nagagawa pag may family na :D
Ayoko ng bolo, mahaharang sa airport haha
Ung keys as weapon naalala ko ung isang character sa Cage of Eden, un ung ginamit nya pang talo sa mga wild animals/monsters
Advance naman sa airport agad, di pa pwedeng sa bangka lang muna.
Yan kaka-anime mo yan.
HAHAHAHAHA advance pa din yung bangka pwede ba balsa muna?
Ibang level ung aquaflask, sponsored ba tong post na to? 🤣
Ibang level na rin pag may family. That photo alone can give you bravery and hope. So ayown - nice choice!
Syempre, highlighting na rin ung intangibles - tama nga rin naman.
Haha ung isa kasi ang dali mayupi pag nabagsak 🙃
kahit ano ba pwede dalhin kahit hindi pagaari? probably ako dadalhin ko
i think mag survive kame hahahaha
Kahit buong barangay mag survive na pag ganyan haha

Bringing keys is such a smart move since it can definitely be use in so many ways. I, myself, would consider bringing it since it is just small and would fit in my pocket or I could just make a necklace with it.
