I have seen people use a fire to heat small rocks/stones until they are extremely hot then drop them into a bamboo shoot/hollowed out branch full of water in order to boil the water. It is slow but it works, also it provides heat/light at the same time as clean drinking water.

Depending on the island we may or may not have coconuts, so we can't count on that. I assume that the island has at least some dense(ish) forestry. In which case we would most likely not need a very strong top to our shelter because the trees would provide one. We would most likely have palm trees or some plant with similar leaves that we could use along with tree branches to construct a sturdy enough bed raised from the ground just enough so the snakes etc. can't get us. We would probably need to huddle together at night in order to keep warm. ;D Just kidding, although in reality it would most likely be necessary. I would gladly give up my pride and sleep next to someone if it was a life or death situation.

Our main food source would most likely be fruit with other secondary food sources coming from animals on the island and fish/sea creatures from the surrounding ocean. We would need to make spears to kill the animals which would probably be Pranav, 4DPro, Iplayforhim, and VirusKA's jobs. We would simply use sharp rocks to slowly but surely wittle the ends of the sticks into sharp spear tips. Obtaining the sticks would be slightly harder as we would have no saw etc. Before we have any way of killing animals Me, HMcCoy, HKapur, and Tibet would have the job of breaking branches off of trees. We would use a cycling rotation method with two on two off. The two off would join Alex,CDragon, and Riyu to form two scout groups to search for fruit and shelter. We would have one male with each female at all times to ensure no one got hurt, lost, etc.

I think we could survive for about a week quite comfortably but after that we would be tired, dehydrated, malnourished etc. It would be difficult but I think if we really worked hard, we could do it. I think if each of us was allowed to bring one item, it would be easy. If each of us were allowed to bring one item, I would bring a computer :p

Easy escape!
