I’m sure you may have sometimes been asked what you would take with you to a desert island, right? But do we really know just what we need to stay safe while we’re living alone in a paradise? Living on a desert island has its advantages: you can have a dip in a different corner of the island each day; the sea’s a part of you. In a word, life on an island has a different pace. Landscapes are framed in fascinating blue waters that will steal your breath away.
We have all seen movies or read books in which the protagonist is abandoned on a desert island with nothing more than his intelligence to survive. Can you imagine finding yourself in the same situation? It’s time to embark on a new adventure and fill your backpack with experiences. That’s why we’ve made a list of necessary things to take with you to a desert island. Let’s begin!
1. Fishing net
The most important thing: food. Fish is the best option for feeding ourselves and keeping hunger at bay. That’s why having a fishing net is bound to help you catch fish more easily.
The fish needs to be cooked. Besides, it really cools down a lot at night on desert islands. A fire will be your best ally for eating hot meals and for staying warm. Who wants to make fire by rubbing two stones together?
3. Hammock
Most desert islands are chock-full of trees, and a hammock would be the perfect option for sleeping. Comfortably and at a height from the ground to avoid being bitten by certain insects.
4. Insect repellent
Protecting yourself from insects is very important. There are all kinds of insects on desert islands and some can give you an allergic reaction. Prevention is better than cure!
5. Sun protection
The sun gets very hot during the day. So we must protect our skin from the sun’s rays and thus avoid wearisome burns. Our skin must always be well cared for.
6. Torch
There’s no electricity on a desert island. We’ll need a torch to illuminate our area when night falls and we don’t want to be left in the dark.
7. Knife
A knife like the one Crocodile Dundee himself would take along is indispensable for cutting the fruit off trees, splitting coconuts, chopping up food…
8. boboli swimwear
You’ll need a handful of boboli bathing costumes. It gets very hot on desert islands and you’ll be spending most of your time in the water. You’ll need many a change!
A knife or multi-tool. Water purification tablets. Compass (you can't rely on GPS in the desert) Some kind of scarf, bandana or dust mask in case of sand storms.
You're trapped on a desert island.What three things did you bring with you and why?
Superfoods and drinking water. Of course, it comes as no surprise that food and water are probably the most important necessities to survive on a desert island until you find help. ...
You will need a shelter as protection from the elements and from natural predators as well. The best options are usually a natural shelter such as a cave, or one that you build. The next step to follow after having found a natural shelter, is to build a more enduring shelter.
We must have food, water, air, and shelter to survive. If any one of these basic needs is not met, then humans cannot survive. Before past explorers set off to find new lands and conquer new worlds, they had to make sure that their basic needs were met.
Make sure to have plenty of water and with you at all times as it is the main source of survival in the desert. By staying calm, hydrated, and away from the sun, you will be able to have enough energy to find your way back to safety.
People in the desert, for example, The Taureg people in the Sahara, eat a variety of animal products such as meat, eggs, milk and tons (a type of yoghurt), along with any berries and fruit they may find, such as dates. As well as food, water and shelter, staying cool in the desert is obviously another priority.
For example, you might choose a knife for cutting food and making shelter, a trunk of books: fictional books for entertainment, puzzle books for mental stimulation, survival skills books to enhance the chance of escape, and a solar-powered satellite phone for calling for help.
