Thread: A year alone scenario

  1. #1

    A year alone scenario

    Okay here is the scenario.....You have by some twist of fate are to be left by yourself in a remote woodland wilderness for one year.Away for all human contact no T.V radio or phone no i-pods.Okay you have small hut for shelter a good axe and knife and firesteel.There is some tins of food a small well for water and a hunting rifle.You have all the essential kit you want.You more than good chance of surviving one year alone.But before you go away for the year alone you are told you can take just one luxury item.What nonessential thing would you take with you and why??????

    Putting aside comments like a mobile phone to order pizza, I don't reckon I could durvive for long with that kit. I would want a box of seeds to grow food from.

    As for a genuine luxury item, I would take a small, wind up radio. It might go some way to alleviating the psychological issues of isolation and loneliness associated with a year alone.

    A photograph of my family, to keep my mind focussed on getting through the year and getting back to them.

    Cracking question!!!

    My luxury item would have to be a decent sleeping bag on the basis that if you have a good night's sleep, then everything seems more positive the next day. There's nothing worse than being constantly cold and tired.

    I would take my dog, because i get on well with her and never get annoyed or angry. She means the world to me and she would be the thing i'd miss most. Also shes not human so i can take her.

    I'm in for seeds too. But not necessary for growing food! :P
