If you were stuck on an island for 3 weeks, name ONE thing that you'd want to have on you?

One thing. All that you have are the clothes on your back and a pocket knife. (think Survivor).
I thought of this question awhile back when it was 10 at night and I couldn’t find my toothbrush. I went to bed, woke up the next day (with a layer of fur on my teeth) and proceeded to brush my teeth with a brand new mascara brush (el desperado).
So, for me, a toothbrush. I may smell like a polecat, but at least my teefies will be clean.
You?

Dry matches and a striker… Because although I can build a fire from kindling and a string and a stick… I’d really rather not have to because it’s such a pain in the arse, it is almost worth freezing than to have to attempt to do.
@chocolatechip All that you have is a dingy and you have a huge Ocean next to you.
My iPhone. Even if t was only to play Plants Vs Zombies
@Judi I was gonna say My Iphone too but sadly the charge….... Where would you charge it?
I’d choose a shampoo! Corny for a guy? Don’t think so. I don’t wana smell up and rot for like 3 weeks without a freakin’ bath.
Passport. Corkscrew. Oh. Wait. Only one thing….... ok, I gotta go with corkscrew. Do I get any prizes?
@Judi Then you’ld have to drag a working tower, a charger (thanks Tbag) and a generator with you too.
@tbag Salt water, although drying, is quite good for cleaning as well… Coconut oils offset the drying out tendency and remove and neutralize the salt from your skin too. Not to mention you’ll smell great when the sun hits you and get a great tan!
That giant CostCo pack of Charmin’ toilet paper.
@GabrielsLamb Haha, agree on everything you said but I disagree about the ” great tan ” Hate tans hahah!
@Jude I don’t think I did…. Refresh the page? And of course, it should always be two-ply!
@Tbag I do too, but I don’t think you’ll really have much of a choice after a while… If the X-Box Live is no longer functional, one must unfortunately venture outdoors.
*But there would be no people so…
I think I could find a solar charger to attach to it before I got stranded :-)
@Judi Excellent! But where might the brookstone or the professor from Gilligans Island be? The problem with this question really is you only get ONE thing.
That sucks!
At least if I die it won’t be because THE ZOMBIES ATE MY BRAINS!
A cooking pot or skillet. I just reread the question and since I’m only going to be there for 3 weeks I might as well spend it cooking island finds.
Fresh water if it didn’t rain in that time. If it did then my 2nd choice would be a mosquito net.
This is a tough question for me. I find I’m addicted to my lipbalm, and caffeine….which to bring?
Since there’s an end date, I’d choose a hammock. I’m gonna enjoy the vacation while I have it!
@Blackberry Pictures Blackberry with a strange surrealistic Dali-type, disconnected, floating, random vagina, and looks away But peeks slightly through her fingers
I was gonna say a knife, but since I already got that…a lighter. That could probably be useful.
My dog, she would keep me company, know where to find water and hunt for food which we would share (I would like to have my iphone too though).
