Three essential items for survival Ten years on an island of pure delight Might sound strange at the time of arrival But would at least give me a chance to fight
A hunting knife first on my list narrow A handy weapon and for skinning game Carving wood to make my bows and arrows Making traps and snares and more of the same
A big butane lighter is such a must They are good for about four thousand lights Thirdly, a Coghlan’s six function compass Look them up see how this item delights
Ten years, a long time without a razor Maybe trade the compass for a laser...

That was exactly the same things I thought about but I'd probably would have kept the compass anyway. A fine sonnet Yanks.
