If you were stuck on a desert island, and could only have one yoyo, what would it be? Just make sure not to get sand in the bearing…

Where is the Island located and what is the weather like? What resources are available? Am I stuck by myself or can I bring others along? If I pick a yoyo will I have string to use with it? :-\

Assuming its not inhabited by people. A titanium yoyo so that I can spark it on like a rock or something to make fire.

I’d bring something that would help me survive not a yoyo👍

Uh; dont look now but the OP asked a very specific question. A very simple question. “What yoyo would you have”?
He did not allow for any responders to identify parameters or limitations. Weather conditions and any other island factors are completely irrelevant. Who else might be on the island is of no consequence. Saying an object other than a yoyo to utilize for survival situations is outside of the OPs’ stated predicament.
The Original question calls for an ‘answer’ not more ‘questions’.
He isn’t asking what Mcguiver would do.
He is simply asking for a direct answer: What yoyo?
… Personally; I would bring the yoyo that Chris Neff had in the Duncan How to be a Player Video.
Chris made a yoyo out of two large glazed donuts.

Like most serious yo’ers, I have given this question a lot of thought over the years.
It wouldn’t make much difference to me what yo-yo I had, I would just let Mary Ann and Ginger pick one out for me.

Assuming it would be one of the yo-yos i already own, (what would i be doing on an island with a yo-yo i dont own?) it would be my caribou lodge borealis.
