Whilst it was a hypothetical situation, it turns out fate has decided my near future will indeed involve packing light and surviving in a tent surrounded by sand and trees, for more than one day.
Ok, so it's not on an island, and apparently there's a nearby village supermarket which may or not make food simple, but I still have to figure out a sleeping bag and whatever the fuck else I'm going to need, whilst hoping the "tent" actually turns out to be sticks or bricks and containing appliances...
