    I'm a little surprised that Ebony Green made it into your list. I was expecting all blues and blacks.

    Seeing as how I don't own a bottle of black ink , it did not make sense to me. I was actually thinking of getting a bottle of Aurora Black.

    same here. I don't ever think I'll get a bottle of black ink.

    I'll take my lamy al-star aluminum with me. it's lasted me 10 years so it gets the nod. (is it cheating to take my stash of Lamy nibs? No? Great.)
    TWISBI 540 EF. I don't have an EF nib for mine but I'd gettit for the island.
    I'll get by with those two.

    inks: PR ebony green. it was my only FP ink for like 5 years. Keeping it.

    Paper: Rhodia dotpad top-spiral-bound in the biggest possible size. a stack of em.

    I hope there are pigs on this island, I feel like having ribs.

    subject to change, but if it happened tomorrow, I'd take my M215 with a Binder 0.36 mm italic (he ground this for me on Saturday in Raleigh). It's everything I love with an XXF nib, but with line variation. Ink - R & K Salix. Paper - anything decent; I like Clairefontaine.

    For those of you stuck on a desert island, I've got some Crane's Thesis Paper up on ebay. A box of 100 sheet 24 lb stock, and a box unopened box of 250 continuous-form 24 lb sheets.

    In the realm of pens, I'd opt for a Lamy 2000 (a timeless classic with a sturdy construction), a Pilot Custom 823 (reliable and holds a massive amount of ink), and a TWSBI Eco (practical, easy to refill, and a workhorse for everyday writing). For inks, I'd choose Pilot Iroshizuku Kon-Peki (a beautiful shade of blue that brings joy to writing), Diamine Ancient Copper (a warm, earthy tone for a touch of nostalgia), and Sailor Jentle Souten (a vibrant turquoise that mirrors the island's stunning waters). As for paper, a Rhodia Webnotebook (creamy, smooth, and luxurious for detailed writing) and a pack of Tomoe River paper (ultra-thin, lightweight, and excellent for preserving ink colors) would be my ideal choices. With this selection, I'd be equipped to document my island adventures with style and elegance.
