What would you carry if you had Batman's utility belt?

I am planning on doing some traveling and camping, mostly in the desert on a motorcycle.
I have some basic things, like flashlight, can opener, multi-tool, etc.

The question is, with limited space, what items are absolutely critical to day-to-day survival. Imagine you are trapped on a deserted island. What tools do you want to help you survive?

Thread Necromancers list of required items for desert survival:

2 black plastic trash bags
2 opaque pieces of large thicker plastic
1 good solid knife
1 multi tool
length of good quality rope
strike anywhere matches in a water poof container
1 tarp
1 well stocked small first aid kit
years of desert survival knowhow

those are what I always considered the bare minimum and in some survival classes we've gotten along with less (some we used more).

wouldn't hurt to pick up one of these too though.

Physician’s Desk Reference…

...hollowed out. Inside: Waterproof matches, iodine tablets, beet seeds, protein bars, NASA blanket and, in case I get bored, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone. No – Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. Question, did my shoes come off in the plane crash?

How about a satellite phone, or some other sort of emergency gps device so that, should something bad happen, I can cry for help and have someone come rescue my ass?

As many deagles as I can fit. I want a belt full of them. I don't even want to reload, I'll just throw the gun at them and pull out another one. They must also all be gold-plated and tiger-striped.

I pictured you dual wielding .45 Colts, with sandalwood grips, from a time that has moved on...

where are you camping?

Snake bite kit
compass (maybe)
A good knife - We are not talking dinky knife. A REAL knife :)
fishing kit (those mini portable one at least some lines and hooks)
trash bags (good solid one, not the flimsy office kind)
iodine
waterproof matches
magnifying glass (small one)
flint and steel (in case you ran out of matches but it doesn't hurt plus it is small)
