Desert Island Dreaming

So, I'm stranded on this desert island, and I can only bring two things with me. How could I narrow it down to two things?!

I need to be able to make fire, but people have been making fire for thousands of years, so I think I can handle it. I need a knife, but I can sharpen a piece of wood or a stone to make a knife, so I'm not wasting one of my two items on that. I need water, but on an island, I can figure out how to filter water so I can drink it. I need a steady source of protein, and I'm not the best fisherman(on top of not digging seafood), so I'll definitely need something to fulfill this need. I'm a huge music junkie, so I should bring an iPod, right? There is no way to recharge it after it's dead, so me singing The Cure will have to do (no one else is listening anyhow).

Alright, I'm bringing a pregnant pig and a cast iron skillet. The pregnant pig, because I'm going to need to eat relatively soon, and there are pretty good odds that the offspring will be able to reproduce quickly enough for me to have an abundant supply of pork. The cast iron skillet, because, well, it's the most versatile piece of cookware, and I'm going to be up to my ears in pork.
