You were able to only grab FIVE items off the single-engine plane you were flying before you had to parachute out.  What would you grab and why?  NOTE:  ALL your electronic devices (gps, cellphone, etc.) do NOT work!  
Oh - and Bear Grills or the "Survivor Man" cannot be considered one of your items...nice try.
 
So - what would you do to survive?

    If I were stranded on a desert island, The five items I would bring are: a radio so I can call for help, a hammock so i can sleep comfortably, a boy scout because they know what their doing and how to make a fire and stuff, a gun so I can hunt for food, and a few magazines in case I need some entertainment.

    If i were to only grab 5 of the plane before I got stranded they would be a blanket and pillow so i can catch up on my sleep. I'd use the parachute to make a shelter of some sort. A lighter so it makes starting a fire easier. A huge thing of water cause i probably wouldn't want to drink dirty water. And finally a knife so i can eat some food.

    If I was about to jump out of a single engine plane and had to survive out in the middle of nowhere the five things I would grab (not including parachute or clothing)would be my Buck knife (for skinning animals, building a shelter, ect), my flint (for fire), my plant identification book (in case I suddenly forgot what is safe to eat and what isn't), some rope (you never know when it could come in handy, and some string (for fishing, building snares, and possibly for building shelter.

    If i was stranded on a desert Island and was able to only bring 5 things I would first keep my parachute. I could use it for shelter and if cut up it could be a useful blanket. Second i would bring a hachet. I would use it to help build shelter and I could use it at protection if needed. Next I would bring a rain poncho. For the use of prtection of rain duh. For my 4th item i would bring a flint and tinder kit now if that counts as two items that has to be crazy cause they ussually come together. And for my fifth item I would have to bring a first aid kit. If i was to get hurt then i would rather have gauze then a leaf.

    If I was on a stranded desert I would bring water, a knife, radio, food, and suntan lotion. I would bring the suntan lotion so I don't get sun burn and a radio to call for help.

    i would grab a survival knife to help cut branches and sharpen sticks. I would also grab some extra fuel to help start a fire an a flint to also help. I would also grab the first aid kit incase of injuries. I would also grab some extra clothes incase it gets cold out

    (Do I get credit for posting on here?)

    I would bring...a Wilson volleyball with a bloody handprint on it (for a friend), a door that was ripped off a port-o-potty and blown ashore (for a sail), an inflatable raft (as a raft...), a random package from FedEx (maybe it contains something useful), and a copy of "How to Survive if You're Ever Stranded on an Island" By: Bear Grills (Because maybe it will make for good burning material).

    PS: I totally did not get any ideas abot this post from watching Castaway...

    If I had to bail out of a plane and survive for a time in the middle of the wilderness I would grab the plains navigational charts, so i could know my location, and possibly walk out to civilization, a flare gun that I could use to signal other planes, a ax or large knife to use to make a shelter and cut firewood. I would also bring any water, or water purification tablets, and would bring any food that was aboard the plane.
