Surviving on an Inhabited Island

This is an explanation based on how I could provide food, water and shelter whilst stranded on an Island.

If I were stranded on an Island and had to provide food water and shelter I would use rocks with sharp ends to help sharpen a stick that would hopefully hold things down and secure leaves.

My shelter would be made out of leaves and bamboo to cover us from the rain. I would get wood that’s tied together and a huge leaf on top so that we don’t get splinters while we sleep.

I may not find any water but I would drink milk from coconut or collect water from the rain. For food I would eat fish but I would probably get sick of eating fish so I would find other things to eat like seafood or the coconut because that’s probably the only things that we would survive on.

That’s what I would do if I were stranded on an island with 2 or 3 people.

To conclude I know this will help me survive without any implements.

Stranded on an Island

This story is an explanation based on how I could provide water, food and shelter if I was stranded on an island without any implements.

If I was stranded on an island with only 2 of my friends I would find somewhere comfortable and calm where I would build my shelter. I would build my shelter using piles of wood, bamboo and rocks. I would find the sharpest rock to cut the flax and use it as a rope. I would also cut off bamboo and use it as the walls and a roof.

For food I would find a strong stick and sharpen it with the rock so I could catch sea food. To cover my food I would use coconut shells and leaves. I would make fire to stay warm and to cook my sea food. I would wash myself in the sea and when it rains I would find the biggest leaf and use it to drink out of. But most importantly I would pray for help until one day help comes.

To conclude I know this experience will help me survive on an island without any modern day tools.
