The Desert Island (Atheist Edition)

[curiosityandthecat]

You know the deal. Three things, in order of priority, that you'd want with you on a desert island. They don't have to be related to being an atheist, but a copy of The God Delusion would certainly be encouraged.  

...Go!

I would definitely bring another person with me (does that count?),
I would also bring a bottle and a knife.
Boring, I know, but very practical.

• Provisions
• Boat
• GPS

Yay!  :banna: :banna: :banna:

[Kylyssa]

1. An enormous thermos bottle full of thyroid pills, otherwise I'd be dead in about two weeks.
2. A large stockpot with a lid, the kind that has a handle.  To be used to evaporate seawater or to carry freshwater.  At the very least I could use it to collect dew at night.
3. A sturdy hunting knife.

[Davin]

1) Rum
2) Solar powered computer
3) A Large Knife

1. fiancé (at first I thought 'I'd bring my son!' but then I realized that he's 6 and living the rest of his life on a deserted island with his mom and then ultimately alone probably isn't what he wants for his life)
2. knife
3. solar powered hand held with emulators for every game ever.

[Tank]

1) A very large Towel
2) A solar still
3) My glasses

[Tanker]

I'm a practical sort when it comes to survival. That's why this type of thought expiriment has never made much sense to me. If you were to ask my 3 favorite things that would be different. Here goes.

1. A multi-tool
2. an ax
3. a fire starter

Whats the point of bringing luxuries if you won't live long enough to enjoy them? I know I don't play in the 'spirit' but like I said a practical sort.

[kenh]

All of Philip K. Dick's novels.  They would keep me entertained and after reading a number of them I would become crazy and not care any more.  
(Sci-Fi fans will know what I mean.)

[Tanker]

Oooh I know how about a helicopter, fuel, and a pilot.

[Will]

Endure:
1) Seeds.
2) Lifesaver Water Purifier
3) The best survival knife I could possibly find.

Entertainment:
1) iPad w/ solar charger
2) An original printing of The Sun Also Rises by Hemingway.
3) My copy of Ulysses by Joyce. It's the best book ever written.

Exploration:
1) Compass
2) Binoculars
3) One of those flashlights that's attached to a band around your head.

Escape:
1) Axe/Shovel
2) Rope. Lots of super-strong nylon rope.
3) Life preserver

Oooh I know how about a helicopter, fuel, and a pilot.

Claire Danes? No. Dawn French, she'd last a lot longer.
