If you were stuck on a deserted Island for 30 days, and you could only take 4 things. What would they be?
1.) Water (I’ve seen Castaway. No way am I trying to live on coconut milk!)
2.) iPod (I'll write my own stories in the sand for reading material)
3.) sunscreen (I'd be burnt to a crisp in a matter of 20 minutes)
4.) Lighter (Obviously I would never get flint to work, or rubbing 2 sticks together. A lighter seems to be the easier choice.)
“And now I’m looking at you,” he said, “and you’re asking me if I still want you, as if I could stop loving you. As if I would want to give up the thing that makes me stronger than anything else ever has. I never dared give much of myself to anyone before – bits of myself to the Lightwoods, to Isabelle and Alec, but it took years to do it – but, Clary, since the first time I saw you, I have belonged to you completely. I still do. If you want me.” ― City of Glass by Cassandra Clare.
One, my medication, or I'd not be surviving.
Two, an axe, for the coconuts.
Three, I like the idea of a lighter, being that I like my fish cooked.
Four, my man.

1 A kindle which holds thousands of books.....cunning huh
2 Ipad would seem like a good idea.
3 A top chef to cook me some good grub
4 A blow up doll for those lonely nights !!! haha
In a tree by the brook, there's a songbird that sings.
Sometimes all our thoughts are misgiven.
On a purely practical note; how would you refill your lighter and recharge your Kindle/iPad?
Never mind that, if it's Sunny in the picture, she could light my fire, or a magnifying glass if she goes off me; a large casserole dish + Complete works of Shakespeare...
A man in possession of a wooden spoon must be in want of a pot to stir.
It says deserted Island, not necessarily a desert island, or even one without provisions, can I have a quite nice hospitable island and luxury items please?
If I may I would like, my medication, a solar powered laptop, spongy soled trainers, and tea.
If not I want my medication, a survival kit, an Oxfam family emergency shelter, and a respectful and attentive young acolyte.

I think a set of something counts as one item, so the first one would be:
Foxfire 1 2 &3 - Great books, written in the late 60's, instruction on how to do everything from snare a rabbit, to building a log cabin to making moonshine.
Leatherman (Given time, I could make stone tools to make other stuff, but this speeds up the process and grater precision)
I'm stumped for the rest. I can drink coconut milk (It's sterile, unlike whatever water I may find, and has nutrients), I could easily make a fishing spear for food, plus whatever plants may be on the island. Building a shelter would keep me busy for a day or two, then I would fart around hunting, making more stuff (table, stool, bed etc)
Aha, a videocamera. Take that, Bear Grylls and your hotel between filming.
I'm a turkey!
I'm also a Mentor. What does that mean? It means if you have any questions, all you have to do is ask me. My job is to help you feel comfortable here. (The mods' job is to take away cookies as punishment. Twisted fiends.)

A ship, some provisions, a map and a compass would be fine, then I could just go home and have/do whatever I want again.

30 days is barely enough time to get a decent brew laid down... so...
14 crates of lager
A cow, preserved into meal-sized portions.
A 50L propane tank with attached burner
A pan.

I love karaoke! I must warn you though, my singing voice is not all that pleasent! In fact, when I used to go to the karaoke bars with my friends, they wouldn't let me sing with them. They'd only dedicate the songs to me! The meanies!!! One time they were so mean, they did let me get up and sing with them... Only I didn't know they all turned off their mic's and I was the only one singing! Bah, whatev. I was too drunk to care! ha ha.

Since I'll be stuck for 30 days, bringing water would be pointless; I'd need a way to drink water from the sea. Electronics wouldn't last longer than a few days, so they are not an option either.
1- this: How to Turn Salt Water Into Drinking Water - wikiHow
2- a knife
3- a lighter
4- impermeable suit (boots and robe)
With this I'd have all the basics to survive for a while.
