I'd take along my MacGyver episode guide. Between the covers I could surely find a means of escaping that horrible island and getting back to my wife and kid.

Yeah, I'm disgusting. But at least I won't be stranded like you poor gentlemen.

I'd take the episode guide, which details all of these, and simply look through the index until I had enough information to build my boat.
