A Question Of Survival

[ryoga-kun]

My Ka-Bar knife.
For boiling water and stuff... I can find clay on river banks (it'll take some time) and construct a bowl. The quality will be bad but it'll do it's job. If I don't find any clay... actually I thought of two things that I might experiment in future.

I was going to say a fully-charged satphone, but I'd have to say a decent-sized knife would be my serious choice. By decent-sized I mean a 5-6 inch blade heavy enough to be used to chop or split wood. I'd want it to have a full tang, and a butt that could stand being pounded on if necessary.

Supposing I have not read any of the answers, I would take a Swiss Knife. But since I don't really want to repeat their answers I'd bring something else, a genie in a bottle.

SOG S67N: With the fixed straight and serrated blades, in addition to all of the other tools, and ease of use I believe I could build a shelter, clean fish and game, modify found objects to create utensils and cooking supplies and devise filters for clean water, protect myself, and have tools at hand for whatever whatever opportunities present themselves.

For me it's Toilet Paper...I like to have this instead of leaves.....

A good knife.

It would have to be a fixed blade knife. You can make fire without much more than wood shavings and a stick. But you can't cut down anything to help yourself out if you don't have one.

I am going to go with the majority of others here and say a knife. Of course I would have to go out and buy a nice knife before the trip began. A knife provides protection and many other capabilities as well.

I like the idea of the metal cup I really do and it is certainly multi-purpose I just don't know if I could construct some sort of weapon or anything like that without having a knife. I'm going to be boring and say a really good knife!
