I need to think about it. I’ll keep it for a quiet day at my place.

Bear Grylls put me off climbing Everest!

Good list TC!

At least you’re ready to make some effort at survival!

But Bear was debunked, unless there is a comfy hotel on the island. You want Ray Mears, or I would. He would enable me to survive on the island indefinitely.

So I need shelter, water, food and the ability to make fire. Hmmm.

CD: Doesn’t matter, won’t have something to play it, mainly used for signaling to ships IF I decide I want to be rescued.

Clothes: well, wet jeans suck, so my excellent shorts I bought in Lidl many years ago.

Photo: My girls.

Person: Hmm. See, I’m an only child and pretty happy in my own company. I’m sure Jessica Alba or Scarlett Johanssen would be distracting for a while, but then it’d be all “When are we getting off this island” and “Can’t you build us a bigger shack?”. Can I skip that item?

My extras: A good knife, a hatchet, a fishing rod.

Book: Magician’s Gambit, 3rd in the series The Belgariad. Immensely easy read, I’ve read it loads of times at this stage.

Technology: My wind up torch.

Film: Fight club

game: pooh sticks (note, must build bridge)
