Desert Island

If I were stuck on a desert island the first thing i would think of bringing would have to be duck tape because of its many capabilities and because it can fix about anything, including problems you would encounter on a deserted island. For example, there might be a tear in your tent and a bunch of rain and small creatures keep getting in, you can duct tape it, or you might be walking along and out of nowhere a ninja jumps out and slashes you across your stomach, well you could duct tape it so all your organs don't start flowing out. Its the most amazing thing created since tacos. As for the other stuff, I would bring some good fishing equipment due to the fact that islands are surrounded by oceans full of fish, I would also bring a cast iron pan to cook the fish or other stuff in so it'll make cooking much more easy and clean, it could also be used to smash little creatures that get to close to you if they pose a threat like scorpians and rabies infected mammals. My fourth item would be a large durable tent that could withstand harsh winds and rain and just overall wear from the time it would be in use. Its also always good to have a strong metal blade or tool, unless you are already satisfied with an iron frying pan, so I'd take a hatchet along with me so I could use the blade end of it to cut wood, sharpen wooden spears, and take care of those recurring ninjas that seem to come out of nowhere. The blunt side of the hatchet would also double as a hammer to drive the tent stakes into the ground or to crack open walnuts if any are around. After being on the island for a year I probably wouldn't need any of the supplies being that I would have probably died in the first month of boredom. But if I were to survive all the items would be useful except for the frying pan and fishing gear if I were to change over to a vegetarian then i could just eat all my food fresh without cooking/catching it. Other than that the tent can still be used to sleep in, the hatchet could be used as a tool for cutting or making stuff, the fishing gear would be used to fish of course, and the duck tape would be used to do anything that the other items can't do, I might also myself a nice suit out of it for when I return to civilization.
