Hypothetically Stranded / Lost

Imagine you are to be cast away on an island for the rest of your life, perhaps with a few friends, and you could only have a certain list of items, and only one item for each category, and it would be in infinite supply. What would you choose?

Don't say something like "I'd want to call for help!" or "I'd want to access Twitter and twit for help." This isn't about escape or the details or outcome. Just imagine you've come to terms with where you are, and could somehow choose these things beforehand.

Form of Entertainment:
Reading Material:
Main Dish (1 Main Item, 1 Meat, 1 Vegetable, 1 Fruit, minimum 0):
Desert Item:
Snack Item:
Beverage Item:
Set of Clothing:
Animal / Pet:
Working Tool:
Weapon for Self Defence:
Personal item:
Access one TV channel, which would you choose?:
Access one website, which would you choose?:
Watch one particular movie/dvd of series:
Have one phone call a day, who would you phone?:
Could magically play one video game, which would it be?:
Indulge in a form of intoxication, pick your poison.:


(A few are unrealistic (internet on island) Nonetheless, I threw them in for fun. STFU. Having an infinite supply of something isn't exactly realistic either.)

Beverage Item: Arizona brand Blueberry Tea
Set of Clothing: Heavy-Duty work Shirt, Pants, and Boots, pair of Gloves..

Personal item: ... Medkit .. ?
Access one TV channel, which would you choose?: Science.. channel.

By the way, when it comes to the website access, that means strictly in that website, no crawling to others. I know what you're thinking, smart ass. "I'll say Google, because that gives me total access to the internet." well, no.. Once you connect to the website, you would only be able to connect to links relevant and related to that website, that exist on that website. Get it? Capito?

It's not trolling. Seriously, it doesn't sound so bad if you get all this stuff. I can understand his question. So, just imagine it as more of 'moving away to a.. lone island.. and you can only take so much stuff, which would be in infinite supply." lol
