Hope 1IF YOU WERE LOST ON A DESERT ISLAND?

With all of the reality shows going on and so many of them set on an island, I started thinking about what a person would do if they were marooned on a deserted island. Of course, the reality shows have people close by to attend to their needs. If they become ill they are given immediate attention. I'm not so sure they go without food, just my opinion.
What if you were flying your own plane over the Pacific Ocean and something went terribly wrong and the plane crashed into the water just offshore of a tropical island. Let's see, you would probably swim to land and take a bit to recover from your ordeal.
In time, you would become hungry or thirsty and would need to find food and some sort of water. You would then begin to search for food. You might have bananas, coconut, berries (although I wouldn't know which were poisonous). The coconuts should have milk in them and that may quench your thirst. So what do you do about protein? I think we would all try to fashion some sort of spear for the fish. This would be pretty difficult, as there is not knife, you would need to do this with a sharp rock.
If you are apt enough to be able to make a spear, how good would you be at spearing the fish? I think it might take a while for a person to become good at spearing fish. Next you will need to cook the fish(unless you are into eating raw fish). A few dried leaves and a couple of rocks might do the trick if you are lucky. You would also need to gut the fish-another sharp rock?
I love to communicate with others, I would probably die of loneliness before I starved to death.
Another problem you might have is shelter, could you make a shelter that would keep out the bugs and elements? What about wild animals, Would you be able to fight them off if they were to confront you?
I personally don't think I would survive. what about the rest of you? How do you think you would do in this situation, with no camera crews or help of any type to give you courage?
Respond and let me know what you think.
