• Step1. Prepare yourself for the future challenges-

When it comes to survive on an deserted island alone, many of us may get stunned. The first and the for most things to do is to prepare ourselves both mentally and physically for the upcoming challenges. Instead of worrying about your future, just sit quietly in one place and assure yourself that you will come out of this island alive. Keep telling yourself that you will come out of this island alive. This will make your mind work more efficiently and also give you a hope and as they say when there is hope there is a way.

• Step2. Make a list for the items that are essential for survival- 

After calming yourself make a list of all the essential items that will help you to survive longer on this island. Two of the most important things are food and water. For getting water you should first collect a lot of plastic bags that are not torn. Tie these plastic bags to the bunch of leaves. During the hot summer day when the plants will perform transpiration, the water will get collected in the polythene bags and it would be quiet fit for drinking or another way is to find a fresh water source. For food the best option for you would be fishing. Now you might be wondering what will you do if you don't know anything about fishing. This would be covered in the later topics but for now you best optional would be to explore the island and search for food.

• Step3. Find a good place to stay in the night- 

This is another most essential thing that would increase the rate of your survival by a lot. This is because most of the wild animals would come out in the search of food at night and I am sure you will not be willing to become their food. For this you have two best options, first- find a good cave or second- build yourself a starter base near the coast. Making a started base near the coast would increase the chances of  you getting spotted by a ship or a boat and will also give you extra time to use things to give signals for help. On the other hand living inside a good cave, a bit far from the coast will reduce the chances of you being spotted by a ship or a boat passing by.

• Step4. Have the basic knowledge of things that will help you to survive- 

The basic knowledge includes all the things that are essential and would definitely help in making your work easier. Things like making tools with rocks and sticks would help you hunt and protect yourself from deadly predators. Having basic knowledge of lighting up a fire would help you to cook your meal, scaring away animals and also work as a light source. The most important thing that you have to keep in mind is to know the shortest routes to the coast from anywhere on the deserted island which would give to extra time to draw the attention of a passing by vehicle. Learn how to make tools like an axe with basic materials to chop down some wood that would work as a fuel and a spear that would help you in  fishing.

So these were some tips that would add some more days to your life if you ever get stuck on an island.
