This week it's what would you need if stranded on a deserted island.
This brings to mind the Tom Hanks movie Castaway.
Today I wouldn't survive a week without insulin. If I could get a steady supply of insulin, electricity and wi-fi, sunscreen and vitamins as fish and birds alone won't give enough vitamin C, even if the island has bread fruit. Well if it had all that there might as well be a Holiday Inn or Hilton, and then it's not deserted.
I did write a trilogy about what would be needed to survive a Volcanic Winter. When it hits the fan, you need a plan! What would happen if Yellowstone exploded. Available on KDP.
I finished the third book while Bush was president. If I find time a fourth book is about to take shape.

That's a good point. You'd need your insulin. Good post.
Thanks, Wendy and Megan.
I was a Girl Scout. I remember a few of the skills we had to learn.
Good point about medication.
Sunscreen is a good answer! And so is insulin. Would you also need to have a blood sugar monitor with you? (I have a diabetic relative, so I know a little bit about this disease. But every case is different, of course. :) )
My post.
Thanks for stopping by and I didn't think about meds. I like the idea of our deserted island having a hotel on it hidden away. There was some TV show or movie about that one time where a couple thought they were on a deserted island but it turned out they hadn't searched the whole island and there was a resort on the other side. Either that or I just made up a memory.
Echo scouting was fun, but my family moved too much to keep it going. I can still tie some knots.
Lydia, unfortunately for my fingers I need to monitor my blood sugar to know how much insulin to take. At my age I take a handful of pills and supplements twice a day. Getting old isn't fun.
Judy, I've seen a commercial where he guy is rescued and while in the helicopter sees the resort. It might be a take on either a movie or tv show.
My husband's a diabetic as well, so I feel you on the insulin part. I can fish, so I suppose I'd survive. :)
I could survive without meds (now - ask me again in a couple of years and the answer might be very different), but you've reminded me of the big one that I forgot to include: a toothbrush and a ton of toothpaste.
My answer is here.
Aymee, I feel for you. It's harder on the caregiver with someone with diabetes.
Michael, no inYou mean you couldn't just use a twig?
I'd also need my meds - good point.
Tanith, sad,but true .
