It's simple survival tactics, gender and age have nothing to do with it so I'm not going to reveal that.
1. A weeks worth of food - a rather obvious choice as food is a necessity to sustain life.
2. A fishing pole and tackle box - since I don't know how long I might be stranded and may run out of food.
3. Matches would provide warmth and the ability to cook and can be used as a signal and a saw of sorts.
4. A leatherman - This could help me create some of the things I didn't choose.
5. A water purification kit could save me a lot of effort.

2.Water purification kit. You need good water to drink.
3. Mirror. so I can get the hell out of there
4. Matches. so I can try to cook the food and stay warm.
5. Raft. Maybe I can get away.

3- I am not a caveman I need matches to start a fire

8- I don't like being soaked
