Edit - My girlfriend was passing and read over my shoulder, I have just been hit in the back of the head for not including her....... guess I could squeeze her on the list somewhere.....

I am just going to name 5 things that wouldn't help me get of the island because if I brought a boat or airplane.. well I just wouldn't need anything else.
So I'd bring..(assuming this is a deserted island, not inner-city japan) Some books(sealed in waterproof ziplocks) A large knife A gun with a good supply of bullets A lighter and... ... ... aww hell.. A hot chick

I wonder what you all want matches for with no wood, so:
1: Axe (to get wood) 2: Proper knife 3: Girl (to sew ) 4: Large piece of Dacron (for shelter and to sew sails of. See #3) 5: Rope (Always comes in handy ) Tho I must say it's kinda selfish bringing gf/bf along .. I mean ... wouldn't they rather want to be sitting at home in the sofa with a blanket? But noooo, we have to drag them along to this deserted island

1. Satellite Phone, with batteries and parts.
2. A laptop & ISP, networked to the phone. 3. A debit card linked to Bill Gate's expense account. 4. A shipping company who knows where I live and can get there. 5. A nuclear missile prepped and raring to go. Now what do I do? 1. Using the laptop, phone, and debit card buy everything I could possibly want off the internet. 2. Have the shipping company send it my way. 3. If anyone disagrees with my policy, point to the nuke and ask them politely to reconsider. It's foolproof!
