Hmmm a way to purify water, gonna guess distillation would be the best. So a pretty big stainless steel pot that has a decent tolerance and connection. If it's a true desert and there's no wood or not enough organic material to make rope then I'd want rope, lots of it and some type of sturdy shelter that keeps the creepy crawlies away.
A boat with a compass and a map trumps that all though.
What would you want to have if you were stranded on a desert island?
I bet gold doesn't make the first 1000 items.
The things you'd want to have are the only things of real value.
Unless a currency is pegged to something necessary for survival, its just an arbitrarily agreed upon token for the sake of convenience.
Great point. Gold would literally be the most worthless thing because it has no actual value.
Maybe as fishing weights 🤔
