From 1704 to 1709, the island was home to the marooned Scottish sailor Alexander Selkirk, who at least partially inspired novelist Daniel Defoe’s fictional Robinson Crusoe in his 1719 novel, although the novel is explicitly set in the Caribbean. This was just one of several survival stories from the period of which Defoe would have been aware. To reflect the literary lore associated with the island and attract tourists, the Chilean government renamed it Robinson Crusoe Island in 1966.
Well, we can. As long as we have some tools to hunt, keep fire and some carpenter tools (from memory Robinson found most of these) we can survive without the rest of civilisation.
What I find interesting is that the first thing that comes to mind in “survival” is always hunting. Our closest animal relatives hardly hunt at all, and somehow still survive.
Meat is a high in calories food which is the best for survival so there is that. If it is an island, you can go fishing instead.
Yeah, true and true.
Oh it is great when you have 3 boys to do all the labor and pretend you are the master of reality because of how easy you have it with all the reserves of the ship that was sending a bunch of wears between the locations. The plot armor in that story is so lame
