Some one with me.
my knife or this website
My knife, of course. With my knife I can find a spark producing rock and start a fire, make a spear and snares for food.
If I couldn’t have another person I’d want a big dog that can hunt but I’d want something living so I don’t end up talking to a volleyball named Wilson :D Though a machete or lighter would be useful I wouldn’t be as calm as I’d be with a person, especially if that person has skills that I don’t. But a dog would help to considering how many uses they have.
Actually I thought it was a soccer ball, but you're right, They are usually inflated. ;>) However, if we're restricting the question to "inanimate objects" what would you choose? Remember, it's just you and the elements.Quote:

One thing I would like to see come out is a leatherman with a flint/steel built in.
A machete or one of those water bottles with a built in filter, depending on the terrain and climate I’m in.
Good choice. I have a short-bladed machete called the Colt Jungle Commander.Quote:

They also carry the RAT-7 which is an outstanding knife but carries a shorter blade. I'm thinking of double teaming the RTAK-2 with Gerber's LMF Combat knife (about $79.00) and trying to find a double knife sheath for it similar to the one carried by John D. McCann, author of "Build The Perfect Survival Kit."
My knife, would probably be the thing, make it easy to defend my self, make a hand drill, and catch food when needed.
Dos a Saw-Back Machete work good, will the saw hold up? If it dos id want one of those.

You honestly dont want a knife that big. Trust me on this one. But if one is truly skilled being in a situation without anything should be no problem, and if one is truly intelligent they would never be in a situation where they have nothing.
If I was in the south American rainforest id want a Machete. The Machete in the photo I was using as an example of a saw-back, I wasn’t saying that was the one I wanted. I do like the idea of a shorter blade machete because I’m afraid id be clumsy with a long one. But a little bowie knife isn’t going to get me far in impenetrable jungle. In post #8 I mentioned it would depend on the terrain and climate I’m in, obviously I wouldn’t use it in the desert or grassland terrain.Quote:

The knife with a rocks sparks great. Looks like an old butcher knife. Why American steel, because foreign made files just plain suck for sparks.
4 me a survival specilast or a leatherman
I don't think it's a matter of intelligence, just re-programing to "Be Prepared."Quote:
