The World is Mine
I'd Bring a Boat
1.) GPS receiver w/ plenty of extra batteries.
2.) Backup GPS receiver w/ plenty of extra batteries.
3.) Satellite phone w/ plenty of extra batteries.
4.) Backup satellite phone w/ plenty of extra batteries.
5.) Powerful FM/VHF/UHF transceiver radio w/ several fully charged battery packs.
6.) Backup powerful FM/VHF/UHF transceiver radio w/ several fully charged battery packs.
7.) (Well-)powered, easy to use, sea-worthy sailboat with an abundant fuel supply, spare parts, and all technical manuals regarding sailing, and the boat's mechanical operation.
8.) Onboard backup boat; a good-sized canoe, with motor and plenty of gasoline (hey, just in case).
9.) Food and water, enough to survive comfortably for at least 3 or 4 months (why take chances...).
10.) .50 caliber machinegun (M2), with several belts of ammo (including tracers, armor piercing, and explosive/incendiary rounds). Alternatively to defense, it also serves the purpose of giving me an easy way to blow my head clean off, if somehow everything goes south.
I'd head out, towards the nearest Allied port (guided by GPS), and use my radio(s) to hail the Coast Guard on 121.5 VHF, and 243.0 UHF when in range of U.S. monitoring station areas. I'd also use my satellite phones, in advance, to pre-arrange an escort into a home base.
Screw the island. I'm comin' back to America, baby.

Lotus, you're supposed to stay ON the island.

I think it should be evident from my list that I don't want to be found. 10 years, condoms, beer, women, weed, and some automatic grenade launchers to keep things interesting. It can only be described as a hedonistic paradise.

Yeah, I know - I read the OP. But, for me that just wasn't an option, man. Planting crops, and crap like that. No thanks, I'm not letting anything get in the way of me achieving financial success, and independence, and living the high life of luxury, here in a free market capitalist society. -And that includes farming potatoes on some remote island, living on a beach in a tiki hut.
Btw, it won't take but like... a couple of weeks before all these supermodels you guys are bringing start to look pretty darn plain-Jane. Give it a few months, and you'll be looking at a cave-woman. Not quite what you're used to seeing on the cover of Maxim... to say the least.

I was going to say 10-year supply women's razors but it just didn't make the list. If there was fifteen items, definitely. Even if you can't have a plane and escape it's still nice to have a smooth runway.Brighteye said:

I love deserted island scenarios.
Anyway, I would probably end up being essentially unskilled labor. I don't have any wilderness survival skills, but because of my outlook on life I would probably be least likely to panic, and would find purpose encouraging others. Otherwise, I would be a capable assistant or apprentice to someone with useful skills, though on the positive I wouldn't have any diseases that need special treatment (asthma, diabetes, etc.)
Ten items? How about
1) Shotgun
2) Box of shot
3) Rope
4) Lighter
5) Case of lighter fluid
6) Tent tarp
7) Sack of potato seeds? (don't know first thing about farming)
8) Pot for boiling water
9) Sleeping bag
10) Dog
