Three Things I Would Take on a Deserted Island

This assignment was fun! We had to pick three different things I would take on a deserted island. I used photoshop to add all of the images together to make one image. I decided to take a practical approach on this one. I would take a Kindle because I would have access to multiple books that I have loaded on this device. And the battery lasts for a long time. The next thing I would take with me is a knife. This would help me in tons of different ways because I could cut things, to make a shelter, cut food, and if possible defend myself. I picked a hunters knife specifically because it would be durable and would stand up to everyday wear and tear. The third thing I would bring is an eno hammock. These things are pretty durable, and they are easy to use. I would be able to set up a shelter pretty easily. It would keep me off the ground and away from possible animals.

This assignment evoked a lot of thought. There are multiple different things you can bring on a deserted island. These things can be totally different because you can have fun things but you can also bring serious things that would help you with surviving. I decided to combine the two by bringing two things that would be useful and one thing that would be entertaining.

Island Survival Necessities

This was a fun assignment. It took me a while to decide what I was going to bring. The first thing was a bow and arrow for hunting I chose this because you can reuse arrows so they will last a lot longer than a gun, you also can use a bow for fishing. The next was Duct tape which was easy because it can be used for countless purpose, this was an easy decision. The  last was water purification tablets to make sure I have drinkable water. There are other things I could have brought but I think these are the best I could think of.

Deserted Island

I really liked this project on the DS106 website. I felt like I could get really creative with this because I wanted to use real-life photos of me instead of photos off the internet. Growing up people have always asked me what I would take with me on a deserted island. My response would always be “Well, you know… my cellphone, etc, etc.”, basically materialistic items that doesn’t have any worth. But doing this project really opened my eyes because all I would really need is my friends to keep me occupied, my parents because I wouldn’t want to leave them, and food to eat so I can survive. Who needs a cellphone to text from when you have your friends right there with you? That’s how I view it. I feel like if I really was on a deserted island with these 3 things then I would have the time of my life. I would have so much fun just hanging with my friends and family, relaxing on the beach, playing in the water, then sitting down eating dinner at night like one big happy family. I would love that actually. So yes, these are the 3 things I would take with me on a deserted island. :)
