If you were stranded on an island could you survive?

Question

You have nothing but the clothes your wearing, a pocket knife, 100 feet of thread, a mirror, and nothing else?

Answer 1

um yeah the pocket knife could be helpful to kill food and the thread could be used as fishin wire, and I could use a homemade hook.  and somehow I could use the mirror to make fire I'm jsut not sure how!!!

Answer 2

Water you can drink and trees with which to build shelter would be your first challenges. Fish for food and eat non-poisonous berries and consume a heck of a lot of water. Exercise, avoid heavy sunlight, build a shelter inland and away from the sea. Kill animals on the island sparingly. Think creatively and seek some kind of 'pet' for company--perhaps a friendly reptile. Do not wash your clothes in sea water, and insofar as you can dress 'down' and save cloth. Look after any cuts to your skin immediately. Keep a journal even if it's in my mind. Work your brain as much as you can, keep it fluid. Enjoy.

Answer 3

MOST PEOPLE COULD, THEY ARE MORE RESOURCEFUL THAN THEY REALIZE. THE WILL TO LIVE IS VERY STRONG AND SURVIVAL IS THE STRONGEST INSTINCT WE HAVE. AND IN A TIME OF BEING STRANDED THOSE INSTINCTS WOULD TAKE OVER. MOST PEOPLE WOULD FIND THEMSELVES DOING THINGS THEY NEVER THOUGHT THAT THEY COULD DO AND THEY WOULD EAT THINGS THAT THEY NEVER WOULD HAVE THOUGHT THAT THEY WOULD EAT AND SO ON. AFTER ALL WE ARE SUPPOSEDLY SMARTER THAN ANIMALS AND THEY USUALLY FIND A WAY TO ADAPT AND SURVIVE AND AS AN ADDED BONUS WE HAVE  -THUMBS:)

Answer 5

If there was also available fresh water, shelter, and food on the island, I could survive.
