Not that we needed proof, but we were reminded just how funny our Life of Dad Facebook community is because when we asked “If you knew you were going to be stranded with your kids on an island, what would you bring?” you gave us hundreds of hilarious responses. Here’s the best of what you told us about what you’ll need to survive (or escape from) an island with your kids.

We’re not going to lie, this post could very well start and end right here, because the three things Ryan James would bring to a desert island is so freaking hilarious:

Michael Phelps, a saddle, and a stick with a gold medal on the end.

And yet we will go one because you guys (and gals) are so damn clever and funny. Let’s read more of your island essentials.

Jessica Millikin-Newcomb: Duct tape because I can make almost anything out of it, toilet paper because toilet paper. And more duct tape because even on a desert isle, my kids would waste the first roll.

Adam Ivie: An airplane, how to fly an airplane for dummies, and jet fuel.

John McCormick: I am stranded on an island with my kids.
We brought everything.
Now we live here.

Hanna Dee: I boat to ship them back home in lol so I could use the bathroom alone and shower longer than 4.8 seconds and know for a fact nothing is destroyed.

Curtis Brown: Tablets with headphones, a stationary bike hooked to a recharging power grid, satellite WiFi and a lifetime subscription to Netflix!

Jade C. Volpe: What if the island is Hawaii? In that case…
Money… Money… Money

Spencer Richardson: Ear plugs, my wife and a Taco Bell.

Orlando Gallegos: The Dragonballs, aladdin’s magic lamp, and Oreos.

Amanda Ann McFarland: Knife, bow and arrow, the f*cking octonauts to keep kid busy while I hunt and build.

Mari Rangel: A giant box of zebra cakes, flaming hot cheetos and ginger ale.

Derek Feldman: I would just bring Ariana Grande, she is all I would ever need.

I don’t even know who you guys are anymore because as Jordan Sickels notes: Not one person said “bacon”!!

What would you take to a desert island if you know you’d be stuck there with your kids? Tell us your essentials on Facebook!
