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.

Water/ Fire / Shelter/ Food is the normal order based on island survival Application changes based on area of course but.

Water - as long as your not cold and going into hypothermic shock water is first order, you will die of debydration in 3-4 days.

Fire- Known to aid in spirit giving the survivor hope, also saftey from predators at night, and of course cooking and or boiling water.

Shelter- getting out of the sun will save body water and help prevent bad burns, saftey from predators and or natural storms.

Food - you can live without food for weeks, the human body will start to digest its own muscle and fats to keep going on, the hardest part of having no food will be the pain and mental anguish of starving to death!

Great comments guys!
