    Cool Survival Item

    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 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.

    my leatherman. With it I have made fire, made traps, shelter, and fishing gear.

    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.
    According to the text that was with the ad it claimed this was a proto-type for the Navy Seals. I'll probably only use it in an area of thick brush. I am looking into Ontario's RTAK-II, it has a 10 inch blade that could double as a machete and Brigade Quartermasters has it at a price of $89.99. 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."

    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.

    Of course it would be a knife. But which one? For me it would be a longhunters style knife, homemade from an old American made file.

    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.

    I don't think it's a matter of intelligence, just re-programing to "Be Prepared."

    For a young lady alone it'd probably be pretty good protection from the bad "human" element.
