Time for a new game....

Here ya go, you are stranded on a deserted tropical island for the rest of your life, you have the knife of your choice, flint striker and flint, hatchet, 100' of paracord, a 20'x20' oil cloth, there is wildlife abounding all over, and a fresh water strem complete with a nice waterfall.
1. Does this lonelyness bother you?
2. Do you think you can live out your life here?
3.What books would you like to have? No more than 3 (remember your gonna be here forever)
4. Who off of this forum would you like to have with you? (only 1 person with an alternate)
No adding or subtracting from the scenerio. Have fun boys and girls.

Me. 1. No but i'll probably end up a wierd azz freak talking to myself and my surroundings and my invisable friends and driving my partner crazy.
2. Yes with all that. But it will at times be really rough.
3. Pilgrim's Journey Vol. 1, The Bible, Ranger Handbook
4. FVR (He knows his stuff) or Trax
Hope I didn't offend anyone but those two know there stuff and we are very similar in thoughts and things we like. Remember if its for life you'd want compatable people and if I could take all of ya I would. (kinda felt bad for choosing them and not saying why)

1. Does this lonelyness bother you?
Not what I'd want to do but I could handle it. I'd be talking to every plant and rock as well.
2. Do you think you can live out your life here?
Yes. It wouldn't be easy psychologically but you can do what you have to do.
3.What books would you like to have? No more than 3 (remember your gonna be here forever)Bible, The Complete Works of Shakespeare, Special Forces Medical Handbook.
4. Who off of this forum would you like to have with you? (only 1 person with an alternate)No offense but probably no one. I don't know any of you beyond the forum so I don't know what is talk and what is walk. Any more than you all know me. If I had to choose it would probably be Native Dude. Living off the grid would be excellent qualifications. Either way, personality would be just as important as survival skills. It would he** to be stuck with someone you couldn't get along with. I'd rather be stuck alone than in that situation.

#4.) seems to negate #1 as if I've got someone with me then I'm really not alone anymore, right?

#2.) Time will tell, if I die tomorrow then I've "lived the rest of my life there", right?

#3.) The SAS Survival Handbook, Special Forces Medical Handbook, The Holy Bible.

#4.) 1st choice is Vol (Remy) West, that guy never shuts up so I can always be assured of a conversation, at least a One-sided conversation. Alternative is Rick just 'cause I like to "bust his chops"!

**Rick** · 12-28-2007, 11:37 AM

Chops at your disposal, sire.

**wareagle69** · 12-28-2007, 11:59 AM

being alone the rest of my life would be a challenge look at any study that has been done on the effects of solitary confinement.

books would have to be wild edibles of that enviroment and animals and any primitive skills book

i would have my wife firt. if i had to pick off this site as before fvr would come to mind but then again if it was for the rest of my life i would have to take a female.

**nell67** · 12-28-2007, 12:27 PM

After the last week dealing with my teens,I would welcome the alone time,peace and quiet.
Any books on wild edibles and medicines.
First choice is Trax,second is Wareagle.

Nagging?? Well thats the one thing the husband says I'm good at....

**nell67** · 12-28-2007, 06:33 PM

I of course do not agree with him.

**Rick** · 12-28-2007, 07:05 PM

I've been waiting for just the right moment to use this, you know. Ahem. Me me me. "It must really suck to be you." Thank you, thank you. Moments of Deja Vous.

**nell67** · 12-28-2007, 07:07 PM

You have no idea Rick.

**Rick** · 12-28-2007, 07:12 PM

Oh, man. Now I feel bad. I was just getting even for that same little phrase you whipped on me over Johny Butterbut and then you go and agree with me. (kicks a rock). Jeepers, Nell.

1. Being alone really does not bother me. Longterm, I don't know. As long as I have a soccer ball, I'll be okay.

2. If I have no other choice, yes.

3. The thickest book on Buddhism I can find. For I will need to "want for nothing." Then a thick book with colored pics of plants and vegatation that is edible in that area. Last, I think a book like Gone with the Wind, it's thick and by the time I'm at the end, I will have probably forgotten about the beginning.

4. Off this list, and because "it's not you, it's me." No one. First, no woman as I will be constantly be thinking of ah...........................you know. As far as another man, forever, you can only talk so much and then what? Honestly, I can be a real arse hole, don't matter then what, crazieness, a fight, probably to the death. Then you live out your life, if you can with a senseless death over your head. If you're lucky, you'll be the one killed.

That's why I'm taking the Buddhism book, to be a Buddhist Monk. They always seem so happy, and alone.

1.If it was just me on that island the rest of my life yes it would bother me (hey ill admit it lol ) but I’d deal with it though I’d definitely become loopy, the boredom would also bother me. Now if there were one other person then it wouldn’t be so bad.

2.Well I’d have everything I need to sustain myself it sounds like so probably

3.The Bible, Count of Monte Cristo (been meaning to read that for a while) and a book on edible, medical and useable plants for that area

4.I would base that more on who’s company I’d enjoy then who has the best skills though they’d definitely have to be a sensible person. Someone that has a good sense of humor and interesting conversations would be very much appreciated in that situation. They wouldn’t have to be real talkative though, I can enjoy being in someones company without a lot of talking, I get along best with laid back people, I wouldn’t want to be in that situation with someone whos tense and stressed all the time. Anyone that fits that description would be fine
