Music can really help your mood I find.

It's not arson if it's your own stuff
1 luxury item, mmm, home brew kit, as for why, self explanatory really i think
Yeah, I think that amount of isolation, not seeing a sole might play worst on the human-psyche than most might realise. Some people/personalities might deal with it better than others, but I'm sure it's one of those things that you won't truly know until you've actually been on your own for a long time. We're very social beasts.
I'm with you there Martin, not sure if it is my item yet but it would certainly be on my shortlist!
She'll help if you get hungry too I'm only joking!
That's at least 4 items you listed! - Your as bad as that lot I went camping with on Dartmoor lol
Where does it say you can't take a human? I would take my wife for the company. As Maslow's hierarchy of needs [1] explains, once physiological needs and safety are satisfied, we will aspire to friendship and intimacy.
If it couldn't be a human, it would have to be a loyal and affectionate animal, like a good dog. I guess the friendship with an animal would have to do - no animal intimacy please.
I for one would welcome the chance to live without phones and TV and computers. Ironic since I program computers for a living and I actually really enjoy it.
I think i would take ammunition for the hunting rifle its not much use without.
If i'm not allowed a radio etc... I'd have to say Books. For 12 months I'd only need a few good books so i can read em again (memory problems). And a guitar so i could play loudly at last without the missus telling me off!

tis a difficult one,just one item is a hard thing,maybe a spoon carving knife,my bible,tub of curry powder as stated would help the diet,a fishing kit sure would be handy too,boy this is a tough one! i guess entertainment, hope and a sense of not being alone would be an important thing so i guess my bible would be the 1 item i would take. i would love to be put in this position!
