Ken Gargett Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 got asked last night, if i was off to do the robinson crusoe thing on a desert island, and could take only one, what would it be - cheese (we are in france, after all), books or wine? and that is all the info you get. i thought toss in cigars. which one of the four would you take? i have no idea but i suspect books, though i'd probably then weaken and say wiine.
mncz Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 Assuming that I can forage for food and fashion my own materials for the distillation of spirits in the isolated years to come, I would have to go with books. Perhaps that's because I haven't smoked enough cigars in my lifetime yet. Then again, books take up a lot more room than cigars do. So how many of each are we talking?
Smalls Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 I would say cheese or cigars but probably cheese. Cheese is delicious.
Fosgate Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 If I get to choose the title I would ask for a desert island survival book. I can survive just fine in the wilderness here bit I'm screwed on a desert island. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
kwsaw63 Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 Don't like cheese, no lights to read books at night, so it's between wine and cigars. Wine would probably go off without proper storage on a desert island, so my choice would be cigars. 1
Fuzz AI Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 How many books are we talking about? And do we get to choose the topics? Like hell I'm gonna choose books and find that all I can read are things like.... 1
El Presidente Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 for Ken..."Sex in the Current Life" may be more helpful. It would be a toss up....Cigars or Wine for me. Mind you I would have a better chance of surviving if sober....so cigars. 2
headstand Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 Because my desert island experience would be in the Caribbean where fermentable fruit is to be found, and fine tobacco leaves grow in the wild, I would pick a fine selection of fromage de France. I would write my own book - oh wait, that has already been done...

Smokin_Safari Posted July 3, 2014 Posted July 3, 2014 Ken - being in France, what happened to "woman"? Without a woman your hand would fall off, rendering any attempt to open a bottle or light a cigar useless. The downside is of course, that you're on an island, with no escape......! Crusoe had it easy over the Swiss family's father and Gilligan.
rtrimbath Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 If I could pick the titles, I would go with books. Cigars are a close second if I have a proper humidor in which to store them. Wine is my third choice only because I would run out in the first week. Which leaves cheese for last. I could use it for bait I guess.
ogus Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 Barrel of wine or barrel of cheese and then jump in barrel for escape. I would land on a beach with an LCDH.
PapaDisco Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 I'd say books, but probably should go with cheese. Not because I love good cheese, but because (and in spite of the fact that it will quickly mold and spoil) the cheese will provide enough calories to keep you going in those first few critical days when you're getting up to speed on hunting/trapping/fishing for other food, building shelter, constructing your distillery and air drying wild tobacco leaves . It may even take quite a while just to make fire without matches . So basic sustenance has to come first, although I'd sorely miss the books . . . 1
Drguano Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 Cheese with holes in it. Big holes. In lieu of women?
Colt45 Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 In lieu of women? desert island cream cheese...... (I'll stick with the books)
HarveyBoulevard Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 A book about wine and cheese written on some nice cuban tobacco leaves and bound with a nice flint binding.
jat Posted July 10, 2014 Posted July 10, 2014 The real question is what would the locals exchange for some of their women folk ?? That would be what I'm taking. 'Friday' would be a Miss Friday.
