You are going to live on a huge deserted tropical island, full of exciting birds and wildlife. The bad news is that you are staying there, alone, for good. You will get food and other stuff to keep you alive and healthy. Obviously you want a binocular there and you get to chose one, only one, and you cant Fed-Ex it back for repairs so it better be of good quality. The sea surrounding the island is full of exotic sea birds, quite far away so some extra magnification might be good, but on the other hand the rainforests are lush and full of birds and will take long time to explore so maybe it´s better to stick with lower magnification. Being quite humid maybe you want a gas filled bin, but the gas will probably not stay forever so it´s up to you how important it is.No scope and no future untried bins. Pick one you can buy in stores or on ebay today, and tell us what your last and only choice will be <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
