If I were trapped on an island, I'd bring a multi-tool for survival, a fire starter, a water filter, and a kite for signaling help. To keep me company, I'd choose my best friend for support and camaraderie. Together, we could face the challenges of island life, sharing laughter and memories even in tough times. We would create shelter, forage for food, and devise a plan for rescue while making the most of our surroundings. Ultimately, survival is not just about the items but also the companionship that sustains our spirit.
