If you were stuck in an island with only a stick (metal) and a whistle, what would you do?

Answer 1

Well, first order of business is food and shelter.

Write SOS in big letters on the beach. Then...

Put the whistle in your pocket and look at what other resources you have available. Fresh water is a biggie.

Chances are that if you are in a tropical climate you have palm trees and or bamboo available. construct a small shelter near the beach but tucked far enough in the trees to be out of the wind and away from high tide. If possible, construct it off of the ground to thwart critters who might want to visit at night. If you were unable to find fresh water spread out some large thick "waxy leaves in such a way as to make a large (funnel) shape with some sort of collection vessel (half a coconut or a section of bamboo) at the base. Hopefully the morning dew will collect and give you a bit to drink. Barring this, you can often extract usable liquid from the local flora, but test first to be sure it is not poisonous.

Take your metal stick (or a sharp pointy one you find elsewhere) down to the surf and do some spear fishing. Perhaps collect a coconut or two to go along with your catch. Begin to familarize yourself with the local flora and fauna to determine what other berries are edible and what are not and which critters might be likely sources of protein.

If you are lucky you might be able to find a nice supply of amorphous (non chrystiline) rocks that you can practice the ancient art of flint knapping (making stone tools) on. I won't babble on about the details, but you can make a rather functional knife as well as spear points and fish hooks out of these with fairly minimal effort. Short version: give it a whack with another rock at an oblique angle and you will knock of some flakes with a usable sharp edge.

If you are really lucky your metal stick will be steel and you will be able to use the "flint" that you found to strike a few sparks and get a fire going.

Cook and eat the days harvest (many options here depending on resources available), or if you were unsuccessfull with the fire enjoy a nice plate of sashimi and coconut milk.

Consider ways of attracting attention from passing vessels....

Don't just survive. Thrive!
