[QUOTE="Roadkill101, post: 2221892, member: 30952"] I remember learning in Boy Scouts, the only two things absolutely vital to survival are a knife and some rope. From there a person who knows what they are about can fashion everything needed to survive off the land. Although I believe this to be highly debatable depending what the local geography and environment is like. To that list I would add, a hatchet (also serves as a hammer) for dealing with anything wood bigger than twig (try cutting down a sappling with a knife). A bit of flint and steel for starting a fire. A canteen or waterbottle of some sort. An Entranching Tool (small folding military shovel) for any small earth moving projects. And a couple of blankets or small canvas tarp. For gaming purposes I also add a some sticks of chalk (perhaps of several colors) to mark my way for underground settings. BTW, I've read Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, and could swear that it was a Towel, not a blanket that was so vital to carry around. Edit: I see someone posted before I finished mine and also noticed the discrepancy over the Towel issue. [/QUOTE]
