It takes a lot more to survive than 5 items...

The thing is, even in warm tropical enviornment where cooking, shelter and warmth is easy to come by, one will be extremely uncomfortable.

Move towards a north pacific island, you are encountering weather that could get very cold. Move further up near the siberian islands and you have year-round icy conditions, winter and arctic storms, a scarcity of wood to burn.

The animals would be different as well. Seals, Polar bears... whatever survives in the arctic which means heavy skins and large animals which require larger caliber firearms.

Could the North Pacific Island be Japan? If that's the case, I want a duffel bag full of Levi's Jeans and lots of American Dollars.
 
5 women.

4 to barter off as wives to the local tribal chiefs in exchange for supplies and food.

I'll keep the prettiest one for myself.

5 items and the clothes on your back? I don't think you could do it by remaining on the island in the North Pacific. The island described is about 2 miles in diameter. In watching the footage at Hill Air Force Base of the salvage of a B-24 from the Aleutians, that would be a beyond tough existence with 5 items and generic clothes.
