I actually got asked this question in a job interview. I would love to hear what my fellow RP'ers have to say about this! My answers in the interview were: Knife, Box of Matches, fishing line with hooks......I know you can only eat so much fish, but that was what I first thought of....Oh I almost forgot...You only have 3 minutes to answer the question!!! Looking forward to what you guys have to say!!!

I'd want a flare gun, a mirror, and a set of VS-17 signaling panels so I can get the heck off of that island.

Gilligan, the Skipper, and Marry-Ann

Why? Because they have mastered living on a deserted Island, quite lavishly.
