Imagine that you've been exiled for one year to an uninhabited island.
there are birds, plants, and seafood to eat, and plenty of jungle-like terrain with a large beach surrounding it.

you were dumped on the beach with nothing but the clothes on your back and a steamer trunk containing 10 items.
what are those ten items in your trunk?

my items would be:

shovel
hatchet
knife
flint
large roll of mosquito netting
cooking pot
rope
slingshot
popeil pocket fisherman
diary

1. one large bottle of diphenhydramine

there are no animals on this island except for birds, so you probably won't need the camo stuff.

Damn... I wanted to hunt me a lion!
 
[MENTION=4855]JGirl[/MENTION] : the flour sack is for carrying and storing things of value. of course i'd have to use it gingerly as it would wear out quickly, but it might last if i were careful. if i completely fail at fishing with the kitchen twine (which i am so sure i will) i'll always have my trusty flour sack in times of desperation. AMBUSH THE FISH.
 
Magnifying glass
Hatchet
Tarp
Survival Knife
Whetstone
Rope
Cooking pot
Refillable lighter
Lighter fluid
1 bottle of high-proof grain alcohol

ah yes the trusty flour sack. lol
...about the twine - maybe you'd rather trade it in for a popeil pocket fisherman like i'm taking to my island. it's a handy fold up fishing pole. as seen on tv

You can always throw your cellphone battery at a bird if you get hungry.

yes, i'll give you that. they will both work until the batteries die. you will be able to call anyone but you cannot be taken off the island for a year, regardless, and you must remain alone.
that's the rules of the game niffer, sorry!
that's a pretty big sacrifice, considering that you will have use of them for a very short time, and you will have given up the opportunity to have two other items with you that would have really been useful. :P
