    I never find any trash, or any human foot prints but mine. Never any sign within 100 years, some times I find sign from the late 1890's.

    Two hookers and an ounce of blow.

    Oh, wait, that's only a ONE week supply.


    OK, SO FOUR HOOKERS AND THREE OUNCES OF BLOW.

    Should get everybody by until it all 'blows' over. Get it?

    No, that's way too complex a level of humor for us primitives, don't get it at all
    some fella confronted me the other day and asked "What's your problem?" So I told him, "I don't have a problem I am a problem"

    a hand angle grinder and a couple hundred batteries for it, make your own knives ,axes and spear points.

    In Alaska and other watery places, a 20 foot length of gill net would keep you in fish year around, and yes it works under the ice on lakes, I did it on Lake Clark. It weighs nearly nothing for you who can't carry weight. And it will fit into the small pouch on your rubberized loincloth...........say'what

    So, is a hooker some kind of fisherman? And what's blow? Is that short for blowgun? So how would 4 fisherman and a 3 ounce blow gun help me?

    my wish list of useful items would be:
    slingshot
    firestarter (lighter, metal match, etc.)
    water container (canteen, bladder, etc.)
    water boiling solution (watertight cloth hat, pot, coffee can, etc.)
    a parachute. you have shelter, clothing, cordage galore, and all sorts of happy uses. barring that, i guess i'll take a space blanket for comfort.

    that should cover food, shelter, clothing, fire, and water. i wouldn't worry about a spear or bow, since it's a survival situation, and i'd just need enough to keep me going while i walked out of where ever it was i was stuck. if i were going to be there for an extended stay, i'd be making more long-term gear, of course.
