I'd like to try…

[JackinovParticipant 5229]

Camping or some sort of survival contest, where I’m only allowed to have 10 items.

I’d probably take 2 large tarps (50×50), flint and steel, plenty of rope, a saw, a compound bow, a sleeping bag and pillow/blanket combo, a knife around 8 in, and an axe.

For some reason, seeing if I could survive in the woods is really appealing to me. Personally, as long as I secure food, I’ll be happy.

I think I’d be able to, there a LOT of neat tricks that it’s good to know, such as boiling salt water to make salt (welcome to flavor fresh caught game), making a stove burner out of a flat rock in a fire, tapping a tree for mineral water, etc.

What would you like to try?

are you a chia pet in man drag

Here’s a start: Once upon a time, I had a Boy Scout booklet that covered exactly that topic. It’s long gone (along with my childhood, clothes iron and tennis racquet), but there must be copies around.

No offense, but that’s not survival. That’s just camping.

I once spent a long week out in the woods with just a knife, a gun (in case of bears – not for hunting), and the clothes on my back just to see if I could do it. It wasn’t exactly comfortable, half the time it was p~~~ing down rain, but it sure taught me just what it’s possible to do without. Now when I go camping if something doesn’t fit on the motorcycle, I don’t take it.

boiling salt water to make salt

I think you’ll find boiling water to make it drinkable is a higher priority.
