An island that is smaller than a football pitch well first I would jump up and down and scream that I'm fucked because there isn't going to be a lot on an island that small.

Build a basic (temporary) shelter

Find some drinking water, if none available build a solar still out of the bucket and plastic bags

Build a fire pit - sort fire wood - get it going with the magnifier

Look for food sources (fish as well as coconuts and banana) Note: Coconut husk is a great material to use as tinder

Build a signal fire on top of the hill - collect green leaves as well as dry wood to create smoke.

Whilst this is all going off have the ciggies drying in the son to help keep hunger and mossies at bay at night.

Save the whiskey as an antiseptic in case of injury.

Think about building a boat long term using the shirts as a sail...

In the words of the song...

I WILL SURVIVE lol

I'd use th string to make dope to climb up the coconut tree to get a drink supply then is use the magnifying glass to start a fire and burn the trees down and make a raft and escape.

how do you make the fire ?

Use the coconut husk as kindling and make a spark by hitting two rocks together or use the lighter if it works.

Or use the clear glass magnifying class and the sun.

Okay...

I'd break off a few branches from the trees and drag them to the beach. I'd use the string to stitch the shirts together and tie them to the branches to make a mast and sail.

I'd inflate the sandwich bags and tie them to the suitcase to make it buoyant, fit the sail, load up with the crisps, whisky and the map and find my way back to the nearest mainland.

Easy

Plenty to eat, plenty to drink (coconut milk) and the Atlantic is very well travelled by merchant vessels. Use the magnifying glass to ignite some coconut husks and chuck on some banana leaves for a heavy smoke signal - sit back, drink the whisky and wait.

It's more likely to be the Pacific or Indian Ocean with coconut palms and banana bushes, but it would depend if a micro climate existed in the area.

I can't swim all that well so I'd rather try and survive instead of definitely drowning.Plus there's stuff in the ocean that can eat me and I don't fancy being lunch for a sea creature

Fire first (magnifying glass on coconut husk)

Work on a way to destile salt water into fresh (deep pit with a catch bowl...sun creates condensate water and tge cover drips clearish water into catch bowl for drinking)

Food, the sea can provide fish....set up a catch pond to make life easier (work smart not hard)

Each day sift through what rubbish the sea dumps...netting, empty containers...one mans junk is another's treasure!

Enough plastic bottles, netting will wash up over time.

Chop down a thick tree with plans for putting together a make shift catamran over time.

Keep busy and focused at the job in hand...surviving.

Central

Focus on immediacy - need for pure water and shelter - then food. Water from rain or create condensation gear that will force condensation and collection of water, using plastics and the vessel, bucket. Make fire that needs dry wood stocks collected first and burnable materials, including dry grass etc to help light it - dry cigarettes could even be used for that. The hut might preserve dry wood and a flame. Light using magnifying glass - easiest or flint type rock sparks from knocking - second best or twirling wood fast using string to get flames - last choice.

Longer term rescue and escape - I'd prefer to wait and plan but be able to signal presence to ships etc using shirts and fire.

Assuming I can collect several litres of water per day and catch lots of fish, I fancy my chances more on the island than building an escape vessel.
