The Island

 

A group of people were shipwrecked on an uninhabited island. They failed to salvage any food or water from their ship, and almost died the first few weeks. They only survived by working together every day from sunrise to sunset searching for food and water and building shelters. Eventually, they got their shelters built and learned where they could find food and water, so they were no longer in danger of perishing, but life was still hard. They still had to work together pretty much all day long every day just to survive.
