Is Scarlett Johanssen a thing? If so, I'd take her...in fact I'd prefer that to working here in Oregon, even with all the stuff I have here! Haha.
If people don't count as my "one thing", then I would take...an AC unit. I read once that Phoenix, Arizona grew largely in the 1950's when Air Conditioning came along. That way I could put the AC on the island, and a city would grow, and I'd have people to hang out with, golf courses, a football team, basketball team, baseball team, hockey team, and a few universities. Plus I'd be on an island, and everyone would love me because I was the guy who had the presence of mind to bring A/C and create a blossoming island community! That would also be better than working here in Oregon.

If I knew I'd be stuck on the island for a year, and the island is deserted, I'd take any maps of the island that may exist. I'm not sure why the island would be deserted, but I'd definitely try to find out as much as I could about the islands history. If there were no maps of the island, I'd take an inflatable raft so I could explore the island.
Source(s): You said deserted, meaning people were there and left it. You may have meant desert, such as the Sahara Desert, with sand, etc. - Anonymous2 decades ago
oooo... Deserted on an island for an entire year. I would take my little compass, a map, and try to buy a camel from a sheik and ride on the camel and discover new deserts and sleep near an oasis and eat all those thorny bushes and hunt some crazy birds with my gun and knife and whatever i find and drink the camel's milk and live in the arabs tent.(you see all those arabs are actually my relatives. so they would give me shelter)(they are actually nomadics) I would live royally in the desert and return to my place like a sheik! Man... what a life ...a life indeed...

KITT the knight rider car. Someone to talk to (the car that is)and we could drive round the island, jumping over any obstacles. (Until the gas ran out, could possibly convert coconut juice into power for the car!!)
Also loads of gadgets on car to play with.

id pick out a good knife (i like knives). i could at least have a chance to defend myself if something attacked me. now remember don't stab when your defending yourself, stabs just feel like punches and you will still be getting attacked (no i haven't been stabbed) u want to slice, slicing brings the pain. my knife will come in handy. cut off giant plant leaves make a shelter. u could make a compost pile, they can get really hot, (and may combust), will attract reptiles (like snakes) though, but then u could eat them (don't eat any animals that are poisonous). you can always use plant fibers to brush you teeth, sticks to make a fire, but a good knife, priceless.

i'd take some hot chick so i can make some babies and raise them to work really hard so that eventually i could just chill out and it would be like having a private resort. yeah that sounds good.
