And Ginger

Well, my first reaction would be to pick Ginger.. 'natch.

However, I would probably have a lot of fun and invent useful things hanging out with the professor.

Not sure about who I would pick from Gilligan's Island - have to go and revisit that. But books:

Brewer's Phase and Fable
Another Mother Tongue, Judy Grahn
An Angel at my table - complete autobiography, Janet Frame

will come back with movie and music choices

1. Kindle with solar charger, complete with loads of survivor information including books, articles on edible plants, building emergency and long standing shelters, desalination... which would all be important in an island situation. Not to mention all of the other books that I have loaded on there.

2. Either the Professor for his inventive abilities, or Gilligan for his integrity and entertainment value. (As for choosing between Ginger and Mary Anne, my choice would be Maryann. Ginger was much too shallow acting for my tastes.) Come to think of it, I would likely choose Mary Anne over all of the others, I would not want to face the possibility of spending the rest of my days without female companionship.

3. My knife

No movies or games for me, but my dog has to be there.

Yup, I broke the rules, which is probably why I was sent to the island in the first place.

I would bring my lady, fishing gear, camping gear, our favorite books, and music.

Jesse · 08-18-2016, 02:48 PM

Books:
Field Guide to Medicinal Plants and Herbs
Field Guide to Edible Wild Plants
Secrets of Native American Herbal Remedies

Instead of movies or music:

Once we have immediate needs sorted out, a flute can be made from bamboo for our musical needs. We will be much too busy surviving day to day to miss watching movies. Instead, I would prefer to have at least one of my knives, and an ax, hatchet, or at least a saw if you're gonna dump me out on a deserted island. (which I could probably get into, by the way.) A few zip ties, paracord to use for making snare traps and binding limbs together for the hut, and a ferrocerium rod if at all possible.

As for which character from Gilligan's Island I would want to bring along...while Ginger is the gorgeous movie star she seems shallow, so I would likely choose Mary Ann because I believe she would be much more interesting to talk with, and she seems to be more capable and down to earth. I think she would be more likely to help us thrive in the elements, just going by the roles played on the TV show. Just for kicks I would likely request Gilligan as well, because laughter will be an important asset to thriving while stranded.

P.S. I would also need to smuggle in my dog, Sadie. She can help us find the elusive wild hog that we will roast to celebrate the end of rainy season. I would find it difficult to thrive without her there with me.

Books: Stieg Larson "The Girl ..." series of books. A cache of poetry books. Quite a few books authored by Eric Larsson. My favorite non-fiction books. The Tolkien trilogy books.

Sunglasses, sun-block, blood pressure medication, vitamin C supply, a multi-purpose knife, rope, taurapin, waterproof matches, nail file, nail polish, Turkish towels, and.... a few heavy glass jars (lids to match, too).

I'll skip the music, though.
