A Year Alone In The Woods Question.

[Beo]

Okay here is the scenario.....You have by some twist of fate, been left by yourself in a remote woodland wilderness for one year. Away for all human contact no T.V radio or phone no i-pods no electronics of any kind.
Now you have a small hut for shelter a good axe and knife and firesteel. There are some tins of food, a first aid kit, a small stream for water and a hunting rifle with 500 rounds. You have more than a good chance of surviving one year alone. But before you go away for the year alone, you are told you can take just one luxury item.
What nonessential thing would you take with you and why?

For me it would be my yellow lab Sunny, she's a great hunter & companion.
Or a big thick book like "That Dark and Bloody River" or "A Pilgrams Journey" but that's just me. I'd probably stay cause in general people suck (present company excluded) so I'd be happy.
Beo,

I wouldn't last long without music, mentally.

Are there cooking utensils there? If not a big cooking pot, if there are, The collected adventures of Sherlock Holmes by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.

An Epirb so I can get the **** out of there. Why would anyone want to spend a year alone anywhere?

There's always one......

If there are no cooking equipment I'd bring a metal gold pan, which also has a entertaining purpose after cooking.

Otherwise a Husky would be great for company and hunting but also for foraging heavier stuff like wood.

I'd take a dog, but it really depends on where you are. If its down south, I'd take the dog, if its up north, I'd take a big jacket.

P.S.- you could use the tins as cooking pans/pots if they're big enough.

Why would anyone want to go to Disney World? Or Hawaii? Alaska? Not picking on those locations, just trying to point out the different things people deem enjoyable.

I ain't spending a whole year alone, that'd drive me crazy....what's that Olaf? What do ya mean: "Too late?"

I didn't have a picture of just one.
(Did you notice, that both of them have doors?LOL)

A certain religious book.

[Rick]

FinallyMe, I don't know that a post like that should follow right behind posts about outhouses. Just don't seem right, somehow.

my satelite phone,
so I can call the girls to load up the truck and come out and join me.

I think I would probably take the same book -- or collection of books.

Well, since I can make alcohol to drink, I guess it would have to be 35 cartons of cigaretts.
