Can any of us survive by ourselves, with very little, on a deserted island?

Most of us have grown up with repeated episodes of Gilligan’s Island, where something new and interesting washes up on the beach nearly every week. But in real life, it is not so easy.

Maybe a little closer is the world of Lost, where our heroes crash land on a deserted island and have to cope with any number of obstacles. But yes, even that is a little iffy when we think about all the weird and supernatural situations that overcame that crew.

Most people reading this, on this website, probably have a fair idea about survival techniques and – in the real world – would do much better than Tom Hanks did in Castaway.
