You're on a year-long luxury world cruise. You have pretty much all of your favorite clothes and things with you. Let's say you were allowed 4 trunks of stuff on board.

You piss someone off and end up being ejected on a desert island. You get to take one backpack full of stuff with you. What do you take? Remember, if you take your St Bernard Dog, there isn't going to be room for much else in the backpack... Let's assume there is a palm tree or two and a cellar of monkeys to provide sustenance. Some of the monkeys run a desalination plant, so water is a given. And we'll assume that you can expect rescue in 6-12 months.

What do you take? In the following categories? None is a fine answer in any category, and don't forget the volume issue.....

Shoes
Books
Weapons
Candy
Pet
Toys
Toiletries
Gadgets
Liquor (they're allowing you one bottle from the bar)
Games
Paperwork
Linens
Electronics
Clothes
Food (must already be in your luggage/cabin)
Sports/exercise equipment
Hobby stuff
Anything Else
