You and one other person (friend/spouse/family member) are lost on a desert island.

You have all your basics provided. (Food, water, shelter, tools, medicine, clothing, matches).

You are not allowed anything that requires electricity, gasoline, batteries, etc. (telephone, radio, car, computer, etc.) No wind up electronic things either (like crank up computers for 3rd world countries).

You can't have a boat, ship, airplane, etc. (No vehicles that would rescue you). You can't have something magical, like a fairy-godmother to grant you wishes.

You are allowed to have with you 7 things. Remember, the very basics for survival are already provided.

What 7 things would you want to have with you?

Here are my choices:

1) I'd want 2 particular people in my life on the island, so I choose to have one more person there.

2) A dog for safety from any wild animals

3) My guitar & picks (with spare strings)

4) A photo album (filled with past pictures of my family/relatives/friends)

5) A diary and pencil

6) A Bible

7) My cat
