That's very genrous. I'm lucky!

1. water cleansing tablets are the most important
2. and 3. are the 30 water based food rations (because water, again, is the most important thing) and the mirror (because it is the most useful tool for signalling for help- reflect the sun in an S-O-S pattern.)
4. It's close, but I'd say the matches next- and you'd better be prepared to maintain a perpetual fire and conserve your matches only in the emergencies when it goes out! Not only does fire provide warmth, the ability to cook food, and the ability to sterilize water, you can also arrange three fires in the shape of a triangle (smoky fires during the day) as the international signal for HELP.
5. Right at the heels of matches is the sail, because you can build a shelter out of it quickly and easily... however, you can also build a shelter out of things on the island. Still, good convenient fabric like that is hard to come by and I'm a bit impractical.
6. I'm really tempted on the knife, because it's a valuable tool for making more clothes and shelter and cutting up food, but I should be able to find a sharp rock/ pound a rock into a sharp tool/ find some kind or shell or dead animal's teeth that'll do as good a job as a PEN knife. So, I will make my last salvage the extra clothes, so I don't have to be naked and cold when I'm washing the other set. Clothes would be harder to make than shelter.

Anyone who woud take the gold and money deserves to die and be removed from the gene pool.

life jacket
a mirror
water cleansing tablets
box of matches
30 water based food rations
a sail
money won't help, flair might but you need somebody looking for you first, you have to have something to light the torch (if you don't mean it as a flashlight) and I would not waste the matches, the cloths are nice but the Pacific is kind of a warm ocean, I thought about the knife but depending on the size, it may or may not do any good

Life Jacket - Required for all shipboard emergencies i.e. Abandonment, Mirror - signaling, Flare Gun - start a fire or signal, Extra Clothes - protection against exposure, Sail - shelter, Knife - obvious. Most of this stuff can be found in the ditty bag of a life boat or raft.

Hmmm....good question. I would definitely say the water cleansing tablets, the matches, the radio, the food rations (of course hoping those 30 packets count as one item), extra clothes and the knife. (Of course lip balm and mascara would be a plus but since they aren't on your list.....)
