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.
