Product Wars: Survival gadgets

If the Tom Hanks movie Cast Away is anything to go by, being marooned on a deserted island is not much fun.

Yes, it is a fictional film and a person’s chance of encountering the same situation is exceptionally low, but if you unfortunate enough be stranded on a remote island, what gadget would be most useful to you?
