Tuesday- what would you take to a desert island?

OK, so Rab asked us what we would take to a desert island (12 items)

Personally, i wanted to get rid of relying on Oil and machinery but i failed to get my point across.

I think that there isn't any need for Man to hunt animals, especially where food is supposed to grow abundantly on plants. is it something hardwired into men that we instinctively want to create a situation where everything is to our advantage? ( in this case, conservation of energy by burning fuels)

I read the Swiss Family Robinson when i was small and wanted to grow up to be like them. However, the family had a whole ship at their disposal. As if that wasn't good enough, the ship was loaded with stuff required for inhabiting a new island.

I feel that a diary set is enough for entertainment, by the way. Its one of the activities that is unique to humanity, the ability to record events in such a way that many people can learn of it.
