I am 100% sure that I can survive 2 weeks after water and power fail just on basic emergency supplies. How do I know? I am still alive. I kinda had to deal with a situation a couple years ago with no power, water, communications, no government and where not to far away, there were human predators stalking the night (literally), killing without mercy (literally) and feeding off the dead (figuratively).Islands are not exactly common in most areas, and those that are tend to have bridges and preexisting populations. Those that don't have bridges and preexisting populations are small enough and isolated enough that you will will have no real hope of getting the materials to build a settlement and start farming. I live near a swamp. There are several islands one might go to, but good luck finding one with clean water, a good combination of arable land and forest and no overland access that won't be flooding a couple times a year. Going to an island will keep you alive until the food you packed on your back runs out, and that is if you are lucky. By taking control of a large supply of food, ammunition and supplies (like you would find at a super store) you can defend yourself, kill off thousands of zombies and prepare armed (and mechanized) excursions beyond your defensive perimeter. You can do exactly none of these on a remote, isolated and uninhabited island.</blockquote>
