If there were enough food for me to cultivate, fish, as well as enough materials for me to make shelter, I’d finally rest. It would be very sad not knowing if I’d ever see my family again, but comforting in knowing that all I needed to do from then on was survive. No bills, no overlords; just me and nature.

Be bored. Miss my wife. I got mobility problems so swimming, foraging or building is just impossible. I'll eat fruit, get a wicked sunburn and argue with trees till I die.

Probably end up dead within a few weeks. My body is fragile and without the support from society, I doubt I could last long.

First days I would probably rest and walk around to see what vegetation is there to eat. Then sleep a lot. Oh... I wish no predators were there ,so I would live peacefully for rest of my life and kill anyone coming over to check or save me šŸ˜…šŸ˜…šŸ˜…šŸ¤£šŸ¤£šŸ¤£

If I was on a nearby island I would cheer you on!

I would immediately start working on a survival plan:

  • collect information on food source
  • collect information on water sources
  • collect information on threats
  • plan food harvesting
  • plan hunting
  • plan some mechanism for transporting water
  • plan how to spend my days keeping all of the above in good repair and current

Then I would say "too much work", fashion a hat out of palm fronds (or equivalent), lean against a tree, and just rest, doing all that stuff I planned as I absolutely needed to and not a moment earlier.

lol this is me, I put the pro in procrastinator

I’d probably list everything, make a big ā€œH E L Pā€ sign with palm fronds, then chill until I needed to do stuff.

I would desperately miss my books though
