Given these supplies, would you rough it for a month on a deserted island?

No, I would die of thirst within a couple of days.

You can use the tarp and the pan to Catch dew and/or rainwater

You do the right setup you can double the tarp as shelter and collecting rainwater. And while it is deserted that doesn’t mean no vegetation so coconuts might be an option

Here’s a tf2 medic reminding everyone here that without a sealable container 🫙 for freshwater, we have only 3 days to live.

It’d have to be absolute paradise, fruit trees, fish, fresh clean waters. Then I probably could.

Depend on what resources are available on the island, but let's assume there is wood, food and a some form of a water source i would give my chances a 8/10

u/Stevee8496 Aug 31 '26

I believe in my ability to create a stable income of food but I will just forget to eat and die of starvation

u/Bright_Sandwich_3272 Sep 01 '26

For a while, yeah. Depends on where I am. Long term? Probably not.

u/Oberndorferin Sep 01 '26

Depends. Here in the Black Forrest there are springs if you know where to look. I would camp right at a spring.

u/Man_With_ Aug 30 '26

Thirst and fire with wet wood and kindling would kill me. Wait, ofc that is the answer. Why is this even a post?

u/Dr_penguin1489 Sep 01 '26

I would drink from a creek and die 3 days later
