I could get into a whole scenario involving a cruise ship and a spontaneous Chuck Norris attack, but I'll try to make this short and sweet. So anyway, you are alone, stranded on a tropical island. You find a small blade and a flare gun with two flares washed up on the shore. After a day of observing, you make a few notes in your head about what's on the island.

Geography:[
A circle-shaped mass about 2 miles across.
There is one small lake near the center.
A few caves are scattered about.

[b]Life:

The island has tall trees and grass near the center of the island and some scrub brush near the beach.
As far as animals go, some small birds flock near the canopy of the trees and half sized wild pigs wander by the trees.

Climate:
Tropical

How do you survive and what will you do to be rescued?

i would use rocks and pebbles to spell help

i would use my sock to filter the water from the lake if it is undrinkable otherwise

i would try and catch some animals for food

use flint to start a fire

use the cave as a shelter

make a blanket out of bird feathers (if i have to);-)

-look in the caves if there are bats or other meat.
-or burry a large hole, make stakes out of the branches of a tree and stick them in the bottom, wait till a pig comes, make him angry, jump over the covered hole and kill him that way.
-make a fire somehow. there's enough wood. cook there.
-because the animals need to drink, I bet that the lakewater is drinkable.
-make a beacon at the beach.
-if a ship comes, fire the flare gun.
-you can't watch for ships if you are in the caves. sleep in a browse hope on the beach. never stay away long.

WAIT. and stay alive.

Use mud to "glue" a stick and a sharp stone together, making a spear. I could hunt the wild pigs. I'd also make a lookout tower, so I can see ships in the distance and only use my flare gun if I see one.

Well... what I do is that..

To make weapons: Go to any of the caves, and try to carve a rock to a spear, or any other.

To hunt: Use the weapon and stab.. first with birds, then the hogs.

To make fire: Find 2 rocks that can make fire, and find some wood and leaves.

To boil: Use the fire, and for a lake, grab water, and boil it.

To fish: Make a fishing line by a stick and a piece of string by leaves... and fish in the lake

etc, etc, etc...

Really someone already put mine..... so this is exactly what I would of put.

First I lay out gravel and sticks so it spells HELP. Then find a cave and build shelter. Then I try to find something I can make fire out of. Finally I look for food. If I hear aircraft then I'll make a fire by the HELP formation then try to create smoke and yell help. But in the meantime I try to limit how much I'll eat and drink.

problem: how can a hog population survive on a small island? you need some families to keep various genes.

Here is a joke.

You are stuck on a desert island with Adolf Hitler,Joseph Stalin and a lawyer and you have a gun with two bullets in it.

What do you do??

You shoot the lawyer twice.

Well that just makes them all the easier to kill and eat BACON!

I've decided to revise my plan: using sticks dig down through the island and dig to china. Then use my instant new found knowledge of Chinese language and culture to become the dictator of China. I'd then nuke the crap out of that island so I'm never stuck their again.

I think i would kill all animals near for food, like birds or fish or whatever just to keep alive. I wouldn't eat too much, because i don't know how long i'm stuck on that island.

Also just like in madagascar i would wait for the pinguis to rescue me no just kidding, i would make a big thing made of wood and when i see someone near i put in on fire so they can pick me up.

I think boredom is more something i will have problems with:P

Shoot the flares off at seagulls and drown myself in the lake.
