    Are you trying to get rescued, or do we know we would be here for one year? Either case, sleeping bag, fishing gear, mirror, hatchet, knife, rope, bow, arrows, first aid, family picture, and a playboy. With all that, I should be able to survive.

    I'm going to take the description literally - desert island - and assume no significant vegetation or land animals. So scratch the bow and arrow. I'm going to be eating fish for the next 365 days. A ship is going to drop me off and pick me up in a year, so I'm not worried about sending a rescue signal. The island isn't in a place where hypothermia is a problem. The cave is above water at all times.

    1. Net -- very large.
    2. Hunting knife. I'm going to cheat a little and assume I can keep it sharp on stones I find in the cave with a little fish oil to use as I sharpen it.
    3. Solar oven for cooking / drying the fish.
    4. Bottle of 500 multi-vitamins, minimum daily requirements.
    5. Mess kit.
    6. Heavily padded sleeping bag. (I hate sleeping on rocky ground in a thin sleeping bag.)
    7. 50 lb bag of rice (cook with fresh water, mess kit, solar oven) in waterproof and airtight container.
    8. Solar powered short-wave radio, keep in rice container after I eat a little rice to prevent salt damage from ocean droplets.
    9. Large bolt of sail canvas cloth.
    10. Bible in waterproof and airtight pouch.

    I can make needle and thread with fish bones and the net. I can make the clothes I need. Use about one lb of rice a week to supplement diet or to stave off starvation on in an emergency if I had a bad week fishing. Edible seaweed might be nice -- sushi anyone?

    OK, I know a "desert" island could have vegetation and animals, but I chose to pick survival gear that wouldn't require that. If there are sticks, I can make a spear for fishing.

    I like idea of a wind-up radio, you can listen to it at night when reception is better. You can get a combo wind-up/solar, so I want to change my selection to that one. And while I'm at it, I'll get the one that comes with a little LED light attached.

    Now, about the blondes. (Keep in mind this is coming from the perspective of middle age!) If you have nine of them, that takes care of entertainment for days 1-9, what are you going to do for days 10-365? How are you going to feed them? Remember Ginger from Gilligan's Island? How much work do you think you'd get out of her? OK, she was a redhead, but you get my point.

    Besides, when you're tired of the radio and don't want to listen to it anymore, you can turn it off.

    Gordian Blade,
    I suppose it would be a good opportunity to do further research on some more "Dumb Blonde Jokes". Besides, I'd bet there would be a population explosion on that island within 9 months...then you'd spend all your time trying to feed them.

    OK we have to argue about sumthin' so I'm gonna pick a fight with 7mm over a couple of the poorly chosen items on his list!
    Instead of a stupid boat, I think it's obvious that a suitcase full of Viagra is the logical choice for #4.
    And, clearly #5 should be a second suitcase full, just in case your lady friends hide the first! A pickup truck? Hmmmphh!!
    And why would you want a chainsaw to make trails? You'll only create more places for them to hide, and you'll be all wore out from huntin em!
    I say #10 should be a state of the art video recording system with tripod. I mean, why make all those memories if you can't enjoy em later?

    Edit: Oops, got my #s wrong.

    Wait a minute Stan!!!! First off Walmart Super Centers have Pharmacies, pleny of Viagra. I need the boat, the pickup AND the saw. The other ladies may get jealous since I will be the only man on the island, compitition don't ya know, so the boat and the pickup will provide privacy away from the other 2 and the saw will aid in finding hiding spots when the boat gets boring. Them hiding, well that makes it fun! The chase is foreplay(Nunn can I say that?) and the more they hide the more exciting it gets! The video equip, I said Walmart Super Center didn't I ? They gots all kinds of video eqipment.
    You give me those three bodacious females and I guarentee you I will not become wore out, and just incase I do over do it and have a heart attack, I will die a very happy man!!
