I understand why they added Wilson to the script and I think it was necessary but I am not sure I would do that myself.
The cave makes sense initially but he never really improves upon it. I guess I am thinking of all the stuff they built on Gilligan’s Island (which was fictional of course). It just seems like he should have built more stuff…perhaps build a hut, a bed frame, table etc. inside the cave.
Also, he was there four years. He could have started building a raft in the first month and had a much nicer raft than the one he used.
I still like the movie. I just think if it were me I don’t think I’d have a Wilson and I would probably build more stuff somehow.

I love that this requires a disclaimer :)
As others gave pointed out, trying to leave an island with enough food to survive on a raft is a big risk with a very low chance of success. I always assumed Tom’s character knew that starving to death at sea was the most likely outcome and he ok with it. He was just done with what his life on the island had devolved into.
