Hm. Ok. Deserted island.

Hunting rifle and I assume ammo - I can make knives out of rocks shit, ranged weapons are much harder. I'd rather have the gun. Sunscreen - deserted island, and I'm of Irish descent. That's a pretty big necessity. First aid kit - it's a first aid kit. Lots of useful stuff, and you'll need it eventually.

Lastly, I'll take the 5 ounces of pot. It's gonna make that hellhole a lot less miserable, and hopefully there'll be a few seeds in it.

Most of the stuff in there is kind of redundant, like, who'd take a water purifier over a pot that has 10,002 uses? A lot of it you can also make on your own, if you've got a little initiative. Like, who'd take a tent over that other stuff? Meh. 3 hours and some Palm fronds, you'll be cool.

Assuming you can get a fire started, the amount of fuel and time needed to boil water is very high. Also if you're using seawater you have to boil it, then capture the steam and let it condense in order for desalination to occur. The water purifier is the number one item on the list.

Fires are easy, especially with that first aid kit.

Second, the water purifier vs the pot is a stupid choice. Nobody should take that over the pot, is what I said, if you care to actually read.

Next, the water purifier is absolutely pointless anyway. It's electric, first off, and second if you don't know how to dig a hole, fill it with water, and wait for shit to evaporate... Maybe you weren't meant to survive the island.
