Now, according to people who have actually experienced survival on a deserted island, here are a few things they brought but didn't end up using.

Things Not Used in Uninhabited Island Survival, According to Experienced Individuals

Waterless shampoo

When going to a place they've never been before, some people pack things out of a feeling of anxiety, or from a desire to keep things as close to their daily routine as possible.

However, we often hear people say that once they actually went, they didn't need it and didn't use it.

Sandals

Sandals might be considered something you shouldn't use, rather than something you haven't used.

Naturally, uninhabited islands are not equipped with maintained ground or fields. When engaging in activities such as foraging for food in the sea or forest, it is recommended to wear marine shoes or thick-soled shoes rather than sandals.

enough changes of clothes for the number of days

From a veteran who has experienced deserted island survival several times, I heard that only two outfits are needed: one to wear on the deserted island and one for after returning from the island. In other words, there's no need to change clothes on the deserted island.

Certainly, just as a no-rinse shampoo is out of place in everyday life, seeking the same on a desert island is also misplaced. Perhaps when experiencing a survival situation, there's no need to change clothes every day.

Sleeping bag

Regarding only the experience of surviving on a deserted island during the summer, many people who brought a tent found it too hot inside and ended up only using their sleeping bag as a pillow.

While sleeping bags can act as insect repellent and serve as protection against the cold in bad weather, there are times, especially during hot summer months, when you might prepare one only to end up not using it.

Lantern

While lanterns can create atmosphere, on an uninhabited island without electricity or gas, the realization that one can manage perfectly well with just the moonlight and the light from a bonfire made with driftwood can lead to experiences where one chooses not to use a lantern and spends their survival life on the island that way.

When engaging in nighttime activities, a headlamp instead of a lantern, and a waterproof underwater light in case you go diving at night, are convenient to have, but you can manage without a lantern.
