    If the island has no fresh water, about six days.

    I think we need more info about food, water and shelter.

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rule_of_threes_(survival)

    You can survive three minutes without breathable air (unconsciousness), or in icy water.

    You can survive three hours in a harsh environment (extreme heat or cold). You need shelter!

    You can survive three days without drinkable water.

    You can survive three weeks without food. But, many people have gone for over 40 days during fasting and have survived.

      I dread to think what state your body is in by that point, it has to be consuming itself to keep going.

        You CAN survive, but the larger question is would you WANT to survive?

        I’m assuming “can survive if you get immediate medical treatment at the end.”

        This guy went 382 days, but did have water and vitamins, just no food.

    As soon as I make a serious mistake like food poisoning or breaking a bone. I’m screwed without someone. Or if I’m just unfortunate enough to acquire an infection.

    And this all assumes that I find what I need to survive in the first place.

    3 days unless I can rig a way to distill drinkable water and fuel the process indefinitely, then a few weeks until I starve unless I can figure out food too. Depends on how big the island is I guess: If there’s enough to hunt, trap, and forage, I might actually be OK at least until I get sick or injured.

      Solar still, or a transpiration bag.

      Les Stroud said that the one thing he can count on in every survival situation, is finding trash.

      assuming you can catch fish, the eyeballs are good source off freshwater? or if there something you can store water, you can use condesation/evaportation maybe?

        the eyeballs are good source off freshwater

        That is definitely a very fun fact. But the joke in my comment was that I can’t hunt or forage for any sort of food. I was referencing the guideline that a person can survive 3 days without water or 3 weeks without food.

    This absolutely depends on conditions on the island.

    I’m so dead.

    I do not have the energy for this, I’m depressed as fuck, anxious as fuck, pre-diabetic (I think) and I would just feel so weak and crumble and die. My body starts shaking the moment I process the previous foods. I would probably think its a weird dream and try to “kill myself” to exit the dream.

    Very Very Dead.

    I have zero survival skills even if my depression gets magically cured.

    Humans aren’t meant to play this game solo.
