It kinda depends on the climate.

Knife and pot are on the list.

Depending on climate, tarp or water purifier.

Depending on climate and terrain first aid kit, tent, or hammock.

I want to expedite my progression to the agricultural revolution so gonna pull the trigger on the:

• saw: animal pens, plow, later shelter

• tarp: early shelter, water purifier top + inner container, waterproofing

• pot: boil saltwater, cooking food (avoids disease, improves digestion)

• knife: hunting, defense, incorporate into larger traps

Notes: fire can be made with dry wood, rope can be made from twisting local fibers, hiking boots will last maximum a few years (not a long-term solution), iPod’s battery lasts a few days, first-aid kit is a good runner-up especially depending on local flora/fauna, two blades (saw and knife) might sound redundant but it fast-forwards our tools into the metal ages which will help us develop agriculture way faster, fishing can be accomplished with nets made from local fibers and chum from leftover animal carcasses, a flare is practically invisible to commercial aircraft and finite, better to place several massive HELP signs on the beaches using stones or any pigment, raft and compass: you’ll capsize on the waves if the island is far enough to be deserted, suncreen is too finite: just have melanin or stick to shaded regions during high sun, mirror: there are more efficient ways to start a fire.

5 ounces of weed, 5 ounces of weed, 5 ounces of weed, iPod.

Tent, rope, saw, OP’s mom.

4 ipods. Eventually someone will come to steal them and I’ll be able to just follow them back to civilization.

20 ounces of weed

Tarp, knife, rope and

Tent hammock knife fishing rod. That covers food and shelter, I can get water in a few ways, and with the knife I can make a bow drill for fire.

15 ounces of weed and matches

first aid, hammock, knife, hiking boots

Knife for sure. Everything else is luxury.

First aid kit as it’ll be needed eventually.

Water filter. Having the shits can kill you.

Tarp. Excellent cover and rain collector.

Raft, flare gun, water purifier, tarp.

I’m gettin off this bish. No smoke monster eating me today

20 ounces of weed

hiking boots, tent, knife, first aid kit

(or flare instead of first aid; depends on how remote i am. if there should be shipping routes somewhat nearby, it may be a flare.)

Tarp, mirror, knife.

Tarp can be used to collect rainwater or provide shelter or both. Knife is the general, all-purpose tool that can help make other tools. Mirror is the best thing for signaling ships or planes and won’t expire or have issues the way a flare gun would. If I get a fourth thing, it’s rope because rope is incredibly useful.

Tarp and mirror are the bare minimum for getting rescued on a deserted island. Search and Rescue people state they’re the most important when it comes to staying alive and getting found.
