    Not read any other posts yet, so as not to be influenced, but I'd take

    1) Ray Mears! (I know he's not exactly 'an item' but it's all supposition!)

    2) My radio.

    3) A PC (with all connections).

    4) Food.

    5) Kleenex tissues, I can't live without them.

    Oh you beat me to it with Ray Mears. I'd go for that and a large luxury yacht with all mod communication cons, or is that cheating? The rest, well the works of Georgette Heyer of course...and a bottle of sherry...

    What is a "rockweiler" going to protect you from on a desert island? Errant sand?

    A genny, it's slang for a generator. You'll need something to provide the electricity to run your electronics.

    A copy of lord of the rings for when it rains
    a basketball for when i get lonely and cut my hand
    some veg seeds
    and a male and female pig to breed so i can have bacon

    I daren't ask what you're gonna do with it.:D

    Lord of the Rings is a good choice too - if it's that edition with the extra volume of footnotes etc as that would keep you busy for ages.

    I'd add to that a bike

    Puncture repair kit (starman might need that for his ball? Maybe not).

    Tools

    Kayak

    When the bucket's empty you could use it for a sick bucket too, so quite handy, in that context.

    1) My camping keyring which has on it a swiss army knife, a fire steel, a compass, a whistle and a wind up torch
    2) Large groundsheet (big enough to cut a bit off for clean water collection, while still having enough for a large shelter
    3) crate of baked beans - the tins will become pans/bowls/water holders etc once the food has been eaten
    4) catering size bag of rice
    5) massive fleecy blanket
