A storm hits the plane while flying over the Pacific Ocean.

you're flying over the Pacific Ocean

when suddenly a storm hits the plane

causing it to shake

the aircraft begins to descend and you

lose control you quickly put on a

parachute eject yourself from the plane

and land on an island

it's a good thing you were the only one

on the plane transporting some Goods

overseas

luckily enough the storm hasn't damaged

your parachute

you unstrap yourself and head to the

closest shelter under some palm trees

you're waiting for the storm to be over

the next day

the sun is shining and the waves seem

nice and friendly you wake up and look

around nothing but a large stretch of

water encircling you from all directions

not a boat human or another living being

is around you Scout the island trying to

find anything you don't even know what

you're looking for

on one side of the small island you see

some scrap metal and remnants of the

plain washed ashore

you rush over there and try to see if

there's anything useful

too bad everything is destroyed however

one sealed box has made it you open it

and see dozens of duct tape rolls piled

on top of each other

after going through the island you head

back to your Camp dragging the box of

duct tape

you try to figure out what to do soon

you get a light bulb moment

there are some places on the island that

are hard to access and since your shoes

have been damaged you fashion out some

sandals

to do it you grab some branches and try

to use duct tape to make a new pair of

shoes

after many failed attempts you almost

give up but then you attach some duct

tape to pieces of tree bark that are

roughly the size of your foot

those are going to be the soles of your

new shoes

the duct tape is smooth and won't hurt

your feet

after adding several branches you wrap

the duct tape around your feet and voila

you have duct tape sandals

now you can Venture into the rocky parts

of the island without damaging your feet

as you walk along the island you start

feeling the Heat

you wrap your shirt around your head but

it's not enough to protect you

you use some duct tape to create a hat

with the help of leaves then you place

it on your head you're now safe to go

after a while you bring back some stuff

you found around the island by this time

you've started to feel that your tummy

is rumbling

next add a rocky Reef you spot some

large yummy crabs and fish but you can't

catch them with your bare hands

you grab a Long Branch take some palm

tree leaves and tie everything together

to make a net

you then use the duct tape to reinforce

it and head to the reef if you're

wearing your makeshift sandals and the

hat to protect your head and carrying

the net to catch some fish

so far you've only used two rolls of

duct tape

after a while you managed to catch some

fish and crabs and take them back to the

camp

you make a fire and start grilling your

catch you're sitting on a log but such a

seat isn't too comfortable

you take some duct tape and make a mat

for yourself

once the food is ready you Feast on it

now another problem water

there's no fresh water around but a

storm is coming

meanwhile you take some coconuts and eat

dessert while drinking coconut milk to

freshen up

you prepare a small Hut by gathering

branches and leaves and duct taping them

together so that water can't seep into

your new home

at the same time you create a funnel out

of duct tape to collect rain water

after getting into the funnel the water

is collected in a makeshift Pond also

made out of duct tape

at this point you've used almost half of

the duct tape rolls

the storm starts brewing and you stay

inside your Hut where you have your new

floor mat

you're bored so you create a chair and

table out of duct tape to make the HUD a

little comfier it starts raining and you

notice that some water has gathered in

the reservoir you built you immediately

drink it using a coconut shell as a

glass

your Hut manages to withstand the storm

and you catch some z's on your comfy mat

the next day you check the duct tape

Supply and see that you are now halfway

to finishing your last roll of tape

you've made a secured and solid Hut and

have a steady food supply from The Reef

you've already spent five days on the

island so now it's time to find a way

out

you've tried your best to seek help but

nothing

not a plane or ship in sight

you're desperate to get out and you're

lucky you spot a cargo ship very far off

in the distance you need to act quickly

after reviewing your box of duct tape

you decide to create a raft to sail away

you gather enough food and water for the

journey and get to work

you start by collecting large logs for a

base and setting them side by side

you have some rope made from tree bark

and leaves to tie the logs together it's

big enough to fit you

you then get another set of logs and

place them on top of the base and repeat

the same process to create a second

layer

this way you minimize the risk of

sinking

in the end you duct tape all weak spots

to reinforce your raft

you use some branches to create ores for

rowing with paddles made out of duct

tape

you see that you've used around 75

percent of your supply including the

tape you use to construct the Hut and

furniture

it's not as strong as fresh duct tape

but it still does the job

after the base and oars are finished you

create a small Hut to shelter your food

and supplies and protect them from waves

also you make a mast out of wood and use

a piece of cloth as a sail

you put the raft on the water and begin

rowing

so far so good you open the sail and

take a break from rowing you turn around

and take a look at the island that has

been your home for the past five days

you're going on a dangerous Journey

risking it all but if you remain on the

island for too long then you definitely

won't make it

it's been an hour already and the island

is barely visible but the ship is

getting closer you still have one more

roll of duct tape to use an emergency

situations the waters are calm and you

see dolphins swimming around you snack

on some fish and drink some water before

noticing that the waves have gotten

larger you prepare your sail and duck

for cover

it's a good thing your raft is sturdy

large waves crash against it knocking

off some of your food and water but the

raft is still in one piece

as time passes the sun begins to set and

there's still no sign of life

you use the rest of the duct tape to

repair the raft

even though you lost some food during

the storm you have your net to catch

more fish

you start a small and safe bonfire in a

coconut shell cook the fish and start

eating

you turn around and spot a ship coming

your way

you immediately grab a branch light it

and start waving it for the ship to see

you

it looks like it will miss you but then

someone on the ship notices you they

drop down an emergency boat to pick you

up and rescue you

it's safe to say that duct tape has

truly saved your life

that's it for today so hey if you
