1. I will bring people because no man is an island.
Play with the popular ‘no man is an island’ quote and say you will bring along other people when you are asked what you will bring on an island. You may start by sounding serious like in the example below before you say the part that makes your answer sound ridiculous.
- No man is an island they say, for this reason, I will bring alongside other people just to prove this saying true.
2. All my belongings so that my whole life would be a vacation.
For someone who has not had the opportunity to experience a vacation on a beautiful island before, a funny answer you can give when someone asks ‘What will you bring on an island?’ is saying that you will just go along with all your belongings so you never have to bother about vacation as every day will be a holiday to you.
- I will pack all that I own, no need to think of planning another vacation since I will start living on the island.
3. A good drone that will capture all my memorable moments.
What’s a time on an island without hardcopy memories? Imagine you travel to the land of your dreams and do not have pictures of the time you spent there as something to hold on to. It’s just like getting married or celebrating your birthday and not taking some pictures.
A funny answer to ‘What would you bring to an island’ is exaggerating about going with a drone just to have memories in pictures.
- I will use all my life savings to purchase a drone I can go along with so that every moment spent on the island will be captured.
4. A boat so I can leave as soon as water creatures start to attack.
This sounds very hilarious already because why would someone want to go to a beach with their boat if they are not crazy? It is more funny because of the motive behind wanting to go with a boat.
It is wild to think of unfortunate events that can likely occur when you are supposed to be anticipating how much fun you stand to enjoy while you spend time on an island. Use this as a funny answer to ‘What would you bring on an island?’
- I will cautiously take along a boat, so that, when I hear the first sound of disturbance from Whales and Sharks I will just paddle my boat away.
5. A carton of sunscreen because I spend good money on skincare to get sunburned.
Skincare is no joke, too bad if you spend huge amounts on skincare but your skin doesn’t even care.
It is difficult most of the time to find the right skincare products, so imagine you have invested all of that into making your skin glow and you are to go out on a sunny island beach, my friend, it will be careless of you to leave your sunscreen behind.
Tell someone you will take as much sunscreen as possible if you go on an island.
- All the sunscreens I can lay my hands on because this skin of mine is not for getting burnt.
6. A map so that I can find my way out if things go south.
You are going on something like an adventure right? For this reason, it will not be wrong for you to say that the one thing you will bring along on an island is a map.
After all, you don’t live there and certainly would not know your way around there, so, a map is something very necessary because anything can go wrong at any time even though it sounds ridiculous.
- I will go with a map, then I can be sure I am safe and have fun without being too careful.
7. A pair of sunglasses so my vacation does not end up hurting my eyes.
Yes! Do you need sunglasses on that island? Do you want to end up having black eyes because you first wanted to have a good time?
I don’t think you would ever want that, so when you are asked what you will bring on an island, remember that your sunglasses are part of the important items that should top the list.
- I would go with a very big sunshade so that my eyes are protected from the sun and salty beach.
8. A coconut tree climbing instructor. Can’t rely on my coconut-climbing skills.
If you’ve never been to a beach, you must have seen beach pictures online, even in this article, you should come across pictures of a beach at least.
The most common tree you will find is that of coconuts, you should also have seen people sipping coconuts while they lay inside their hammocks by the beachside.
Saying you will be along a coconut tree climbing instructor on an island is a very apt and at the same time funny answer to give.
- Since I would want to perform the coconut water sipping ritual on the island as well, I will ensure I go with an instructor on coconut tree climbing so that I can be guided to pluck off mine and enjoy myself in case no one can do that for free.
9. A book titled ‘101 Ways to Escape an Island’ – just in case I change my mind about staying.
Another funny answer to ‘What will you bring on an island’ is suggesting that you will go with a book that gives you over a hundred means of escape routes you can rely on if something comes up that warrants you leaving.
- I will go with a book that has a hundred ways to escape on an island for safety purposes though.
10. A fishing rod to learn the business of fish farming as that may just be my calling.
You can use the opportunity of being on an island to learn one or two businesses right? That is not at all a bad idea, so when you happen to be asked what you would bring on an island, tell the person asking that you will go with a fishing rod to learn how to catch fish.
- For someone as jobless as I am, I will go with a fishing rod, this way I get to learn a trade while having maximum fun after which I would be able to afford more island trips when I launch my fishing line.
11. A solar-powered charger for my electronic devices because I will still spend more time pinging and watching Netflix.
Another funny answer to ‘What would you bring on an island’ would be responding with ‘I am bringing along a solar-powered charger for my electronic devices because I will still spend more time pinging and watching Netflix’.
Believe me, you are very likely going to get bored if you don’t have a device for pictures and connecting with your circle that may not be there with you.
This point also makes sense because going with a solar-powered charger sounds genius as you will be making good use of the island’s sun.
- A charger that uses just solar energy knowing that I will never suffer from low battery on any of my devices since the sun is always out.
12. My best friend so we can have fun and record adventures together.
I too would respond with this answer. What’s fun when the one person with whom you can be yourself is absent?
Tell someone that you will go along with your best friend and if you so desire, give him or her a thousand and one reasons why you think you made the right decision.
- I am bringing my best friend so we turn things up together and have all the fun there is.
13. Flasks contain real food because islanders cannot live by fish and coconuts alone.
Just like it is said that man cannot live by bread alone, you can observe the same protocol to state your point that people on an island cannot only survive by fish and coconuts which are commonly provided for feeding on an island.
Tell whoever cares to ask that you will go with your real food so that you don’t starve on top vacation.
- I just have to take along real food that I enjoy so I don’t have a runny nose because of daily barbecued fish and coconuts.
14. Popular books as we see on the island are pictures of tourists.
The picture above should give you insight into what this answer is all about. Yes, you might sound like a clown when you say this but then it is something worth planning towards.
Imagine a picture of yourself laying inside a hammock, sun shades on and a book almost covering your face, you will be glad you went with that book as it will take your pictures from zero to a hundred.
- I would visit a library and buy books that are picture-worthy so I can have my own aesthetically pleasing photos like tourists do.
15. Good-looking beachwear so that I look good in my vacation dump for the gram.
Do you want to go on an island with your normal 9-5 outfits or house and occasion clothes? No, no, no.
Tell someone who has the time to ask that you will be going with outfits that match the environment and that your sole reason will be so that when you post your pictures on the gram you won’t look lost but on point.
- Since I will be in my island girl or boy era, of course, I will shop for the appropriate outfits like bikinis, beach wear, kimonos, and the kind of clothes that suit such a place.
Wrapping it up.
If you truly had a good read then you can be a little assured that these answers will come out funny when you get to speak with the person asking. Use appropriate gestures and facial expressions while communicating to get things right. Thank you for reading.
