What besides toilet paper would you bring to a desert island?

If you were to be stranded on a desert island by your lonesome for a couple of years with all the basis necessities needed to live and had the option to bring 2 things with you to make life bearable.

No electricity on the island for those of you who want to bring your laptops.

What would you bring?

I'd pick all my paper work from the last year because it would be the only chance I'd have to do it.

The book Robinson Crusoe
 
A RIB, and a fully fuelled outboard motor:)

Seriously though....good question !

A (yet to be decided) book collection...(does that count as one thing?)
&
A companion....(no wives/girlfriends allowed? I'd bring my pet dogs)

I'm not sure if the shark infested waters would deter you from getting into the sea or not but be my guest...

1 girlfriend, 1 wife or 1 dog

I know there are people who will say how can I compare women with dogs but you know women deserve a chance to shine too you know............

Maybe you should say a chain saw with petrol (2 items)

An axe and your golf club but no ball.

Tough break

Naw, I could never do that. I'm a bit of a tree-hugger myself.

We're fairly well used to self-suffiency here in The Republic of Cork so life shouldn't be too bad on the island.

Maybe I'd take a copy of Cork's Greatest Sporting Triumphs - that would take years to read. :D

I'll have to think about item No. 2. How long have I got to decide?

They have had years to write it and are still on the first page...

So you probably are better off with a history of Dublins greatest sporting achievements...

Too late your boat has already docked.

You get a broken golf club (sorry someone sat on it)...
 
A fishing rod, obviously. Can't just lie around with the 'Bounty' girl (remember her?) stuffing your face with chocolate all day!
 
One of these might be helpful

a sketchpad and pencil (does that count as one),
and just to be sure I'd bring along Ray Mears.

I suppose in the interests of fairness you have elected to bring

1 bushcraft Tools/SPOT-Satellite-Messenger

1 sketchpad

1 pencil

1 person Ray Mears

Since I'm the OP in this case I've decided to allow you to bring a pencil and the brushcraft tool.

Batteries are extra.

Good choice Antcutza

You can bring the fishing rod and the chocolate...

The bounty girl has to lose all that weight she gained when on that island before she can fit back into the boat.
 
Well if I can't have the sketchpad and the pencil then just give me some chalk instead and I can do some cave paintings and become famous in centuries to come. Then why can't I have Ray Mears and the bushcraft tool - if it came to a choice though I'd prefer Ray Mears.
 
I'd bring my bagpipes, a couple of years with nothing else to do and I'd be playing much better than I am at the mo.

If I could bring someone it would be that Bear Grylls (sp) guy.
