If you could only take one of these things to an island which one would you take?

An oven

A refrigerator

A microwave

A coffee pot and all the coffee you need

A phone

A computer.

A bed

Only one.

If the island had no electricity the only one that would make sense is a bed.

If there was internet and electricity, the computer.

The phone would be a distant second.

So what is my sanity score?

a phone - assuming it's a fully charged cell, so I can call someone to come get me, or to bring me the other stuff I need.

Depends how my service is. If I could call home, phone seems like the best option. :P

Assume what ever you choose will work and there's a phone connection and Internet.

The island sounds nice. I think I won't need any of that stuff on my island.

I would take the refrigerator and fill it will sorts of goodies like chicken kabobs, water, and cake so when I got to the island, I would be able to hide them from customs. Then I would have a party by myself and when I wore out my welcome, I'd McGyver up the refrigerator and row to another island.
Thanks for this!

Will I be completely alone on the island? What kind of island is it?

I pictured it as one that has some people on it, where you can buy local food. I picture fish, cassava, coconut, fruit and veg. I also picture having a hammock near the beach, drinks and lots of books.

I probably want some kind of house to sleep in at night. Otherwise I like being outside.

Well... The question really was about being on the island with no other people.

Oh OK. But then I wouldn't care about any of these things. I would be busy trying to find food and water.

I'm still stuck at the food and water aspect. And I wonder if I can bring my meds. Any extra clothes? Firestarter?

If I can't have food and water of any kind, I'd need a phone cuz someone will have to rescue me.
