Just wondering I'd probably take water, might find food on the Island. I would be bored though, lol.

You can't live without water for very long...so the choice is obvious.

Not necessarily. If you give up and decide you're going to die, then you might pick something else.

First I thought ''I can have water from rain'' so I'll pick something else, but what if it doesn't rain for a month? So yeah, water it is.

How about some kind of watery food? Maybe I'll bring watermelon.

Since a human need water most, and can survive a few days without food I'll choose water for 1 month. There's insects, other land dwelling creatures that I can kill for food.

Here's another question about this poll. By the wording, it sounds quite a bit like we already know we'll be on this deserted island. I guess I'd never consent to go to a deserted island without being sure someone was providing me food and water. I'd bring a book.

I voted something else, and that item would be a wal-mart

You can boil salt water to make it suitable for drinking, right? I chose enough food of one kind to eat for a month, and I chose peanut butter. LOL Plenty of protein and sodium and I won't have to eat bugs.

1 item of food. Gotta go with the trusted Mickey D's double cheeseburger. So that'd be about 180 double cheeseburgers for a month. Granted I might die of a heart attack before i get off the island, but hey, ill die happy.

I said something else, which would be matches. I was thinking about Tom Hanks' hands after he spent forever rubbing the the sticks and stone together to make a fire, and I figure once you have the fire the water won't be an issue as you can boil it. I guess that's also counting on me finding some kind of container to boil the water in...but hey, i'm resourceful so I could work it out

My wife and I lived on an Island before. It's a quiet island with about 50 residents. We had the biggest house with solid walls, and a huge kitchen. We get our water from rain water. It rains a ridiculous amount while I was down there. Every time when we need to buy food, we take a boat to the market. It was an interesting experience. This topic makes me nostalgic. I will be going back to the home this summer.

Boiling salt water won't get rid of the salt. It might get rid of the
water, but not the salt.
I think I'd want a bottle of rum. In the movies, that always gets you off the island, plus, you get to be tipsy.

You have to distill it. Basically boil the water in a sealed container with a pipe leading off from it to capture the steam and condense it in another container. Then you can drink it.

I don't know if husbands count as an item, but if they do, that's what I'd take! He's very inventive and could probably invent a water filtration system, and would make some meals out of grass and leaves that would actually taste good.
If that's not allowed, then water.

I noticed that a] I know I'm going to be going to this deserted island and b] I know that it will end after a month. Related to a] people know that I'm going because they will take me there and if an emergency should arise they'll probably come get me and laugh at me for whatever stupid thing I did to endanger my own life. Related to b] even if things are going well, someone will make it stop at the end of the month.
However, since I read all the posts first before posting, I think the best choice was a Walmart---especially the kind like what they have in the US that have great big food sections, just like a grocery store.

Can't answer this unless you tell me if its a desolate sand island with nothing on it, or we're talking a lush verdant paradise kinda island.
For the first, it would be a handgun with one round.
For the second, my knife, everything else can be procured on site including food water and shelter, the three basic essentials for human survival.
