If you were marooned on an island, what would you want to have with you? Wait, you’ll be totally unprepared, so take the quiz and find out how you’d handle the situation with little more than your wits and a nasty sunburn.

  1. 1

    Your yacht has capsized and you're about two miles from the small island you can see in the distance. You're going to have to swim for it, but how?

  2. 2

    Islands in the Pacific are often surrounded by powerful surf and rip currents. How do you reach land when swimming through rip currents?

  3. 3

    Since you were out boating, a search party will likely be looking for you. What should you prepare to attract the attention of any air- or watercraft?

  4. 4

    Unfortunately, the lighter that you have with you is ruined from your swim. What is a traditional Polynesian method for starting a fire?

  5. 5

    The Polynesians call this tree the "tree of life."

  6. 6

    Which type of coconut contains more water?

  7. 7

    More people die every year from coconuts falling on their heads than from shark attacks.

  8. 8

    You are hungry and decide to try spearfishing. What makes a good spear?

  9. 9

    Moray eels are inedible.

  10. 10

    You didn't have any luck with your spear, so you decide to try another method of fishing employed by indigenous people throughout the Pacific. What is that fishing technique?
