Poll question: Would you rather be stranded on a deserted island or in desert oasis?
Edited on Sun May-30-10 03:06 PM by arcadian
Let's say deserted island is 10 sq. miles, uninhabited, lush and green. Coconut palms, banana trees, other tropical fruit, maybe a few wild boar, and fishing and shellfish on a surrounding reef. The deserted oasis is in a remote region of the Sahara never visited by humans, not even desert tribes people. Oasis is 2 square miles. Oasis has date palms, edible root plants, medium sized game birds, fresh water fish. Both have a ready source of fresh water. Let's say in both you crashed there in a airplane, so whatever stuff you have in your baggage and whatever you can salvage is with you. In both situations there absolutely zero chance of rescue from the outside world. If you get out of there you will have to do it on your own. Which would you choose?

1. How far away is the island from the nearest land mass? What clothing do I get?
I kinda like the food options on the island better but I'd pick the one it was easiest to get away from.

5. I'd pick the oasis so I didn't get eaten by the wild boar
Any deadly critters at the oasis?

7. Yes, bread is very important to survival. But I think it would run out in a few days.
PS, double check your spelling
