    Regarding the question, are you asking about a collection of music? Memorobilia? Concert videos?

    What would you do with the albums there on the beach? Look at the cover art? Read the lyrics pages?

    I mean, if you're "stranded", would you have some kind of a player device? What about electric power? How exactly would you actually
    listen to these albums?

    How do you know the island is deserted and without power? For all we know with this question, the island could be inhabited and have a small town or a resort or something. A hotel room with power might be available.

    While all of that is true, the word "stranded" would make me believe it
    has none of those things.

    If you were in a town, or a hotel, you wouldn't be stranded. You'd go
    along home.

    Also, you made an assumption that it's an "island". All he said was a "beach". Plenty of beaches that aren't on an island.

    I was being silly.

    But even in a town, you could be stranded. If your car breaks down, for instance, you could be stranded if you didn't have an alternate means of transportation.

    Ah, true.. I had the idea of a desert island in my head.

    I suppose that is true, although could usually be solved with a credit card. ;-)

    Yep, I know. I kinda did too actually. Leave it to TM to keep us guessing.

    Assuming M meant CDs (vinyl would be a bad idea on a beach
    which I would assume M meant on an island which I would gather
    mean a "tropical" island):

    4: Recharble batteries
    5: Solar panels
    6: something to play the CDs.


    7. Satellite phone and HAM Radio
    8. GPS
    9. Survival shelter
    10. Food and clean water
    11. Medical Supplies

    I suppose you wouldn't need to plan for a desert island collection, then.
