    Well, telling emergency services how you got there is probably enough for them to find you.

    The most pressing question is how do you contact emergency services. Do they get email?

      Dies after 6 hours of trying to make an online phone call via various websites and constantly getting stuck because they want an excessive amount of personal data that I don’t have on hand with me on the island. The laptop had an 8 hour battery but beating myself to death with a coconut just seems preferable by that point.

        Now that you mentioned it… Can most people access their emails from a strange island without their phones? My guess is they can’t.

          You can if you don’t use gmail, or sign up for one without 2FA, the trick is going to be getting anyone to believe you’re stucko n a desert island.
