I would definitely say that I would love to be accompanied by my older brother. I would choose my older brother because he’s a nature fanatic – with his on and off 15 years experience in the wilderness.
For the object , it would probably be a knife because of many reasons. Having a knife would greatly increase your survival chances in the hunting , gathering , and defending categories.
As much as I adore my significant other – I can’t imagine if we were stranded on an island together – haha.
Do animated people count? If so, I would totally choose Peter Griffin, he would probably keep me entertained for the rest of my life. As for the object? We’ll just go with…a pencil.
I think I would choose Gilligan to be stranded with on a deserted island because he has done it before. He would definitely be an amusing companion although the professor wouldn’t be bad either! As for the object, I’d like a magical genie lamp so that if things don’t go well I’d at least have three chances at making a change!
hmm just one person eh, well might as well dream big, i would take leonardo decaprio ,at least i would have something nice to look at and the object would be some kind of solar powered radio so i would have good music

Hmmm… I think I’d want be deserted with Les Stroud. C’mon, he’s a survivalist. Even if he can’t not us off the island, he’d be able to help with food collection, what not to eat, shelter, etc etc.
The item I’d choose would be probably be a water canister.
Bear Gryllis from that Man v Wild show – for obvious reasons (would help me survive xP).
As for an item, entire series of Lost to make myself feel like “it could be worse, I could be trapped in a vague, twist filled nightmare.” I guess its useless without the TV and electricity though, maybe my survivalist can make one out of wood.
I would take my pal Jimmy because he makes me laugh. And hopefully I would have an ipod by then and we could listen to it and sing and laugh together – because we met due to our mutual love of music, inlcuding all the laughter over “one hit wonders” we know. Also we could both sing out of tune to our tunes and laugh, laugh, laugh.
Laughter is free….only wish those ipods were too.
Music is good for the soul/sole.
I would choose my fiancee. For the object, a plane. It’s not really cheating since I probably couldn’t fly it anyway.
Glenn would accompany me.
And I’d take a library with me.
Hmmm…My husband is an amazing problem solver and is great in the case of an emergency, but he could survive without me. If I were to choose him, who would look after our baby?
I think I would have to choose my sweet little boy to have with me. As for the object, a never-ending milk supply would be good…so I would have to choose a cow!
The person I would want to be stranded with, well this may sound corny, but it would be my lovely wife of 29 years! Life is so hectic these days we don’t get to spend much time alone. Shes my best friend, and as horribly unresponsible as it is, I would love to be stranded alone with her for a while! The object?….hmmmm, thats a little tougher. I think I would go with a hatchet. Smaller and easier to carry than an axe, can still be used to chop, cut, defend. Ok, when do we get to go?
I would take my daughter (for comic relief & strength…) and a solar-powered laptop
I will choose the sappy, corny route and say my girlfriend, Michele. It might seem like a forced answer, but I couldn’t imagine choosing anyone else.
As far as the object goes, I figure a fully charged satellite phone equipped with GPS makes a lot of sense, since we could just call for help when we wanted to leave the island!
Suggested question for next week: If you had enough money to buy any one object in the world, what would it be?
If I was deserted on an Island, I would definitely want to be there with BATMAN and the object would be his utility belt! That guy could get us off any island with that belt. But I wouldn’t want to leave right away because, did I mention, BATMAN is my boyfriend!!
Tweeted, Facebooked and Youtubed
Maybe I would take MacGyver, so I could get off the island! One thing? I think a Leatherman would come in pretty handy.
If i were to choose one person I would choose my husband as he makes me laugh all the time even in difficult situations and the object would be a cell phone. Hopefully i can call someone and tell them that I am stranded and they could rescue me……….
retweeted, following on twitter and fan on facebook
I would choose Paul McCartney, at least he could sing and entertain us on the island! For my item, a knife. At least I am somewhat practical, I could have said a guitar for Paul to play!
I would have to have my husband with me so that we could do fun things to pass the time (wink, wink). The object I would have is an unlimited supply of matches. I have no idea how to start a fire without them and I’m not eating raw food!
Tom Hanks and a BBQ grill.
Of course my boyfriend and a knife
lol
I would want to be stranded with my boyfriend. He is great company, a great protector, and we always have awesome adventures.
I would want to have a flint to light fire at least this way I can attempt to cook some food and maybe even boil water to get it clean.
If I was stranded on a deserted island, i would take ANNNNNGGIIEEEEEEEEEEEE with me because we make each other laugh and would make the best of a bad situation.
.
The object I would take would be a “slap chop” because I would no longer have a ‘boring tuna’
Well, this is not even close. I am going to be deserted, and a man has to eat. So I would like to have Chef Gordon Ramsay, and a well stocked kitchen, to keep my strength up, for however long we are going to be stranded. I can loose weight next year, right?
I would be with my partner and I would have a fishing pole!
I would want to be with Bear Grylls, the guy from “Man vs Wild”, although I don’t know how much of his accent I could take. Maybe if he would just do work and not talk the whole time we are on the island that would be great. And the object we would have would be a big sheet of canvas. Used as both shelter, and a collector of rainwater.
I would choose my hubby and I would take loads of food !
I’d want to be with someone hunky and sweet… maybe Nathan Fillion?
And a loaded, solar-powered Kindle. Because you have to take a break sometimes.
id take jackie chan so he can teach me karate on the island (hey, why not?) and bring a bring a bamboo stick to make wicked moves so i will be just like that kid in that movie. (almost)
Oh my goodness, hard question today!
Well I would bring Ozzy Osbourne with me, after just finishing his autobiography I know that man would keep me in stitches for the rest of time just on the stories he could try to remember…which would be funnnier than the actual story.
And I think I would bring lots of different spirits to consume, because c’mon if you are stuck on an island seriously what else are you gonna do with Ozzy!!
Cheers!
I would want my husband who is very handy and has had much experience with serious camping.
As far as an object, I’d want to bring along with a huge box of matches.
I’d take along a chef who knows what strange plants and other foods are edible.
For the object – it would be a boat – then i wouldn’t be stuck on the island anymore. lol

How about MacGyver and a crate of duct tape. That guy can make anything from duct tape!
Tweeted: http://twitter.com/slugbug55/status/18467403562
Commented on Facebook too.
My wife and a knife.
My husband and a boat to get off the Island.
I would probably bring my Girlfriend (We get a long don’t worry) and the Kodak PlaySport HD to capture every moment, so when we pass away people will know that we were on the island first =)
The person I would bring it that old spice guy from the commercial where he’s on that horse and the object would have to be some old spice body wash.
My better half and a satellite phone so I can call for help or supplies!
I would want to be stranded with my best friend. For the object I would want a laptop.
austma7@aol.com
I would be with my girlfriend as I love her more than anything and bring a knife to fend of beasts and for hunting purposes.
Assuming I didn’t want to be rescued, I would want to be stranded with David Cassidy. I could look at him and listen to him forever. And of course he would need a guitar to entertain me so I better have one of those with me.
the professor from gilligan’s island, and enough coconut shells to build whatever we need
I would take my little son. Probably not the smartest choice, but I can’t imagine my life without him! As for the object, I’d like a notepad. I’d love to document my time there. I’d just have to find something to write with.
follow, retweeted & liked on facebook
Hummm….one person….
I guess I would take my husband (guess it wouldn’t be sooo bad) LOL
and an object….I would say a cell phone.
My husband and a years supply of Red Twizzlers.
If I was stranded I would want to take my husband because he is handy to build me a raft to get off the island hehe. The item I would take would be Pina coladas and ice so while he is building the raft to get off the island I might as well enjoy it while it lasts since I have never visited an island LOL
I want to be stuck with my husband. He’s my best friend and always makes me laugh. If I could only take one thing. I’d take a water proof video camera. So we could document our stay.
I’ll take superman to fly me off the island and a box of muscle milk.
Not very creative today but I would bring my fiance with me. And sunscreen.
I’d bring my husband for his great company, and I’d bring some matches. Because I was not a boy scout (since I’m not a boy) and therefore do not know how to make fire with sticks.
I think I’d want be deserted with a Genie In A Bottle, that way I wouldn’t have to worry about just one object. I could just wish for whatever I needed LOL

I would be with my husband and I would want an axe
Deserted on an island? Would want McGyver and a knife. McGyver and his resourcefullness, and the knife is multipurposeful! And if we weren’t rescued right away, we sure would be able to have a lot of inventive fun in the meantime!
I’d take my husband, he’s the greatest handyman. For an object, I’d want a cellphone with killer reception!
Swiss Army Knife . . . and the Bionic Woman
My girlfriend Deb and a Kodak PlaySport Waterproof Pocket Video Camera
Well, I would have to pick Kristen Wiig. I think she is gorgeous and hilarious so we could entertain each other. I would want to take a camera to be able to periodically record all our antics!!
I follow you on twitter under the name JCHARRIES and tweeted at http://twitter.com/JCHARRIES/status/18560443787
i would bring survivor man ah yes the one who knows! we will live forevermore!!!!
would bring a machete. ***
The camera would fit right into my camping and fossil hunting escapades. I wouln’t have to worry about getting the camera wet and ruining all the great wildlife shots. Awesome

Roger and a satellite phone.
It would have to be MacGyver and lots of duck or duct tape to make a boat. He can do anything with duck tape!
I’d Bring my friend Brandon because he’s a cook and that would make my job easy!
And The Bible to read because it’s huge and I want to read the whole thing!
If i could only bring one person I would have to say my boyfriend, reason he’s really good at out doors and i think if we had to survive he could keep us a live and for 2, if we did survive like our hole lives then we could have kids, kinda like on LOST lol. The one object i would bring it would be a toss up, either a satellite cell phone that works! (which would be the most logical thing to get rescued by or a really good knife cause all basic survival issues usually come down to having a knife (cutting material for shelter, hunting, making weapons, starting a fire, ext.) So on the off chance I would just probably go with the phone and my boyfriend probably could improvise on the hole knife thing lol
so yeah my BF and a satellite phone lol
I would want God with me for he would suppy all my needs.I wouldn’t need any object because when I wanted to get off island God would take care of it.
I’d have to say I’d want my older daughter Sondra with me. I’d certainly miss my hubby, but I think that, with my daughter, we’d stand a better chance of survival. I’d want to take fishing gear.
I would take my husband, my sunday morning coffe comapanion and I would bring a full stocked Tim Hortons because everyone knows that island would be secluded for very long!!
heck we might even make a profit our first year!
I would be with my wife, who is my best friend for life, would have to have her.
Second would be the Bible, my faith is that important to my wife and I.
I would take Stephen King because he could definitely keep me entertained and my ipod touch for music and games.
I would pick my hubby and a working telephone (so that when I got tired of him and/or the island, I could call for help … LOL)

My girlfriend.. and a solar powered 2-way radio.
i would so bring will ferrel and a a tanning bed hear funny jokes while getting tan sounds hella good
I would want my son with me. He’s 10 and painfully smart, so I’m sure he could figure out a way to get us off the island, or at least make it fun! My one item would be a Nook loaded with good books. We’re both book nerds, so it would keep us entertained.

I would certainly pick my husband & the one thing I would take would be a water filtration system
I really don’t know who i would bring. But it would have to be someone that would give me strength and hope, so that we would make out alive.

There’s no stress and if you’re trying to survive you have to be stress free because you have to focus on whats really important.

I’d take my son because he’s really knowledgeable about edible plants and also widely read, so we wouldn’t get poisoned and we could discuss lots of subjects. For the object, I’d have to choose a solar powered cell phone or two-way radio to call for help, because I don’t want to be stuck on an island with anyone for a very long time.
I would bring my youngest son so I know he would stay out of trouble while I was stranded and solar powered flashlight with signaling capacity.

I’d be with my true love, not sure what object, some form of communication maybe
If i found myself on a deserted island i definitely hope none of my family would be with me because they deserve better than that. Lol. Anyway, Stephen Hawking would be my company. I could learn so much from him. The only other thing i would need would be sunscreen.
I say Henry Rollins and a bed!
I would like to be on the island with Cher and unlimited pizza

I would like to be stranded with McGyver – LOL. If anybody could get me off that island, it would be him! If I could only have one thing, it would be a cell phone with a GPS thingee in it, so in case McGyver is losing his touch after all these years, I could still get rescued.
I would choose Jim Carrey to be stranded with because at least he would keep be laughing. The object I would take would be a solar paneled computer (if there is such a thing) so I could play games when I get real bored.
i would pick george clooney and a hammock
Me, Wentworth Miller, and a keg of beer!
My husband and a knife.
My husband and a water filtration system!

I would definitely have to have my hubby and a my computer!
I would choose Bear Grylls (the guy in Man vs. Wild) with me (with him, I think I will survive no matter where we are) and I will bring an utility knife with me so that it can probably help me to cut out potential food etc.

Alright.. so, if I was deserted on an island and could be with only one person.. it would be my mother.. we always have such great adventures together, she is like my best friend and I would love her to be around me if I was on an island.. and the only object we would need EACH OTHER
I would take my sister with me because we would make use of the time…
If I could only have one object, it would be my ipod.
Question: Would you rather be rich and sad or poor and happy?

I would definately pick my one and only son, and I would bring a gun with lots of bullets!!
