On a Desert Island

Discussing my favorite treats with a co-worker (LGrant) my thoughts wandered to desert islands (not dessert islands). If I was stranded, what 10 things would I want with me, other than the obvious peanut butter cup filled cookies?
Swiss army knife (with all the gadgets)
Field guide to local plants and animals
Flint or other firestarter
Clothes
Twine/rope
Books
Cooking pot
1000 lbs of chocolate (or any food I don't have to forage for)
Joey (husband)
Layla (dog)

How about you?

2) That's a good list.

Knife
hammock
tarp
fishing gear
diving mask
lighter
hat
hatchet
wife
Cuban cigars

Sounds like a dream vacation to me!

5) I like Matt's list....I would have to add a volleyball and an ice skate for emergency dentistry.

10) Ugh!

Hmmmm... hat, bug spray, water filtration device, fishing rod, swiss army knife, about 15000 waterproof strike-anywhere matches, anteseptic wipes, vitamins, husband, tarp.

11) Merrick's list sounds pretty good to me except for her husband (not that he wouldn't be useful to have around with his height and strength!). Layla would certainly be fun for company. I wouldn't need the chocolate since I wouldn't have an oven to bake with. Swiss Army knife for sure, cooking pot, flint fire starter, field guide would be great, books, good shoes, tough clothes, shelter would be nice, line for fishing and other rope needs. I suppose it would be too much to have a huge box of space food since I'm not good at foraging or cooking. :)
