I noticed a lot of people said cell phones...I never said you have reception....its an island...you would need a global satellite g to get reception on an island in the middle of the ocean

if no one else was around i would prefer to have a knife, you can build and cut with a knife and if there is wild life about you could hunt for food, what more would you need to build a shelter and get food,a cell phone would probably not work if i was deserted that is just My luck with a knife you could survive and you could make rope from bark of trees a flare would probably not be used and is only of use if seen, a knife can be use for a number of things essential for survival
