Boots because coral will fuck your shit up, long with stonefish.
Pot because it makes life a thousand times easier.
Rope because it has dozens of practical uses and would keep you from needing to hand make rope.
The fourth depends on the environment. You say desert island, does that mean only sand and plants, no rocks? No animals? Whats on the island?
If there are Rocks plentiful on the island, then skip the knife and saw, make stone tools.
If there are no rocks, take the knife and use it sparingly.

Pot: Collect rain water/boil freshwater
Hand Saw: Build more substantial shelter and other useful things. Could potentially polish to reflect sunlight as a fire starter.
Knife: Obvious reasons

Tent, Knife, Pot, Fishing Gear

Anyone not picking the tent is fucking insane. It keeps you out of the rain and gives you a "home" space. Bugs, rats, crabs, snakes, whatever will fuck with you if you don't have a tent. Good luck doing anything on zero sleep because rats keep crawling over you. Even if it doesn't last -- you will need it while you construct a real shelter, and the material can be cannibalized for other things later (hammocks, bedding bundles, etc).

>Hammock

Keeps you off the sand with flees and other nasties. Also keeps you off the ground during storms when it's wet.

Without much info

-Pot
Boiling water for consumption, stewing fish and game, refining fruit sugars for storage. I think this would take care of 40% of food concerns.

-Knife
Good multipurpose tool, can be used to make other tools, would prefer hatchet...

-Hunting rifle
Hopefully a .243 winchester, small enough to not mangle birds and rodents, large enough to take out a small boar

-First aid kit
Contingency baby, I could also an hero on advil and rubbing alcohol if it comes to it.

>people acting all superior about some people not bringing a firestarter
all of the firestarting items would run out quickly or work about as well as improvised firestarters. primitive firestarting sucks, but given enough time I can light a fire with quartz and carbon steel or with the hardwood-softwood method. if there's nothing to burn on the island then I'd have to figure out how to use the pot as a solar still and I'd have to pull seaweed out of the ocean and dry it for cooking fuel.

Flare Gun: Yes signal fires can work, but on an island your best bet is a passing ship... flares are a universal SOS.
Vitamins: When I get low on potassium my toes cramp.
Pot: You can boil the saltwater and with a tube get clean water, and cook with it.
First Aid Kit: First off, I want the IV tube in it to use for water purification, and I can use the gauze as a strainer to get the shit out of my water. Secondly, I can make a fishing rod with the needle and thread + (stick not included) in there for closing wounds. Lastly, dying because you scraped your foot on a rock and it got infected is a shitty way to go. *I know you can cauterize wounds/look for herbs on the island if you have botanical knowledge. Let's be real though, cauterizing wounds the wrong way makes it easier to get infections and I have no clue about botany.*

Tent, fishing rod, pot, and matches.

I was considering toilet paper and a water purifier, but I would just thoroughly wash myself in the ocean instead of using toilet paper, and I would distill water using the rain fly and pot.

If either a book to read or a notebook to write were an option I would definitely pick one of those.

He didn't pick the tent, it was just outline by 3 of his other options.

First aid kit
Pot
Tent

I like the idea of deconstructing the tent, it gives cordage which is very important . I'll have to rely on creating a friction fire, but matches are such a short term solution that they're not worth it imo. You will run out of matches anyway. I am off course assuming it's a tropical island and that it's warm.

This being said id pick the pot, first aid kit, knife, and

or
2) hiking boots if its a big island
or
3) matches (if it's a small island)

Tent, water purifier, first aid kit, knife.

The tent so I have a proper place to sleep at all times.

The water purifier so I have a clean source of water without the need of a fire.

The first aid kit is a must in my opinion, in case you get hurt you need to treat your injuries properly.

The knife because it's a great all in all tool.
>>
>>739399
You wont survive for long without a fire anyway. You better start putting in some effort to make a fire instead taking the water purifier.

Take the pot instead and learn how to make friction fire
>>
We've already found the answer
1: Tent (explained 1000 times why already)
2: Knife (4lyfe)
3: Pot (same as 1)
4: Boots, you don't want to go barefoot into this.

Knife, saw (would prefer hatchet), pot, then either the water purifier (if it comes with a receptacle for purified water) or rather the hunting rifle (looks like a pellet gun?) to save me time shooting chickens or pigs or whatever's on the island

The perfect setup

Why not a pot? Filter is only good for a couple hundred gallons (which is probably enough) but you don't have containers for it initially and you don't have the pot for cooking in also you could use the pot + part of the tent for desalination can't filter salt water into drinking water
>>
>>734413
Possibility because of mosquitos, assuming we're talking about some sort of semi-tropical island. If shit breaks you can always use the materials for whatever.

Either way, knife, pot, tent, rod.
>>
In order of importance:
Pot
Knife
Matches
Tent

You cannot really make a Pot yourself
Fiddling with rocks if there are any is hard. Bring a knoife instead.
Eventhough you can make fire without matches, the time/effort saved will be very big.
Tent, bug free place to be. Bliss. Also a lot of materials to build other stuff.

Why not:
Tarp - Tent is better with more material.
Sunscreen - while usefull, staying out of the sun can do it for you.
Toilet paper - come on.
Ipod - Sheldon looks at you.
Hiking boots - yeah nah.
Hand saw - while usefull, not as versatile as a knife. You can also make a stone axe.
Flare gun - you are in a deserted island, thats the point.
Raft - see above.
Flashligh - ? what?
Repellant - l o l
Hammock - tent.
Compass - its an island. come on.
Mirror - I bet you mean a signal mirror, but you love your company, so no. And you can watch the reflection in the sea to do your hair.
Vitamins. - actually not that bad, but still eat plants and fish.
Water purifier - not as usefull as a pot.
Fishing rod - Can be made locally. Also you should use fishtraps so that your time wont be wasted actually fishing. Instead use the time to build other stuff.
Rope - Can be made locally.
Hunting rifle - Most likely there wont be any big mammals that you should hunt. Instead use traps.
Weed - dont use drugs
First aid kit - This competes with my Tent, it might be usefull if you fuckup. But tent has a lot of good sides to it.
Wilson - you can have actual imaginary friends instead.

Any reason you guys take the water purifyer over the pot? Because I don't really understand.

If you take a pot you can't only boil water (~purifying~ it) but fix yourself soup, stew, boil sea critters and all that

Just wondering if there's any reasoning behind it
>>

sunscreen, insect repellent, volleyball, ipod

Knife - make most things, prepare food, kill if needs be

water purifier - to get me started before I make a permanent way of purifying
(can be switched for first aid kit if it has water purifying tablets.)

fishing rod if its a small island, hunting rifle if its a big island - catch food

mirror - signal for help, make fire, look in the mirror now and again to stop myself going insane.
all depends on the island though, it could be a tiny island near the polar caps and most of us would be fucked with our choices

For everyone that thinks they can desalinate sea water with a filter, purification tablets or by boiling it: Be grateful that this exercise was theoretical, because if you were actually on an island, you'd be dead by now.

Saw. In addition to cutting, it's carbon steel, so I can spark thousands of fires with it.
Cook pot. Inverting the lid allows me to distill salt water.
Tent. Those tropical bugs, mate.
Boots. Quick easy cordage for snares, plus lava rock and coral are both sharp as fuck.

Food, water, shelter, warmth. I'm set.
