Pretty cool experience.

i live in a "luxary" aparartment complex (nightmare) and on my floor there was a planet and in the planter there were 2 little birdies that would fly up (they were really fast) and they started bringing twigs in the planter. soon there was a full nexst there and the 2 birds came and went. then there were some eggs in there. totalled out to 4. 3 of them hatched and i watched em grow up right outside my door lol. then they all left the nest. one egg didnt hatch. i picked it up out of curiousity weeks later and it broke with minimal pressure and rotten egg got on my hands lol. that was stinky

I woud take my tracker2 knife, works well in the survival element, now if we're talking people I'd just want someone with common sense and good conversation. If I took a dog I'd end up eating him if I got too hungry, that'd suck cause then I'd have to get a new dog. :)

I don't know if it's been said yet (I don't feel like reading 7 pages of replies), but how about a helicopter to get me out of there? Or a plane? How about a personal locater beacon?

... Or a rope attached to my waist that leads to the nearest town? Like the minotaur maze :)

my knife is my most important tool with it I will survive

thanks for illustrating my point several times fvr.
everyone here has a massive fixation with their knives. to me too much dependance on them what would happen if lost or broke?
now i know we have been thru this but just humor the ol eagle here, if you could have anything but your knife what would it be?


always be prepared.....

The clothes on my back! Maybe just a loin-cloth!

My poncho and wool blanky.

Poncho keeps ya dry.

Wool blanky, cut a hole for the head, find a piece of vine and wrap around your waist. You have clothes, warm clothes.

It's wool, a sharp rock will make a hole in it.

RAMBO!!! Ha Haaa!!!

I'd like to see you save the trees. go for a knife with a 6 or 7 inch blade, fixed in a sheath with a small sharpening stone in the pouch. More reasonable to handle. :D Save this for the equatorial districts... :cool:

Beo,

Didn't think of that, but you are right.

Even if I had clothes on, still take my poncho and blanky.

Iam originally from Sandstone MN which is about 60 miles south of Duluth and grew up going to the Boundry waters and the Ely area, is my all time favorite area

if I dont have a knife on me is only because Iam butt arse naked lol

damn, you ppl can be thick headed sometimes.

i am always carring a knife also, but lets just say aliens came and took your knife in the middle of the night, is fvr here the only other one cabable and comfortable of making a knife.

you guys have inspirided me though, when i start up my courses i am going to take every ones knife from them, then see how they react first mentally then phyically, cause from this thread every one seems to have a real dependance on it.

always be prepared...

I wasn’t thinking about my area when I listed it. I’d only use it in the environment it was designed for. You must have just seen the picture and jumped on it without reading my other posts, others have also. But did I not say it would depend on the terrain in my other posts? I’ve explained it to others also. Why dos everyone automatically think I’m stupid enough to carry that around in my home rang? If I said I wanted a camel that would be appropriate for the desert right? Since I like to travel and I plan on traveling more I don’t just think of my area in these questions. The Machete is the perfect survival tool for what it’s designed for. If I was in the juggle like terrain a regular knife wouldn’t be my choice.

I have to ask ,have any of you ever had to cut your way though brush you will want a long blade and gloves and maybe lather gantlets . Yes a short machete is better for carrying but for real work you need a real machete . I would never be without one , better a good machete then an Axe for the a short term wilderness stay that is .Why ? Well have you every tried to cut green willows 1" or less around with an Axe ,very hard to do and to cut anything green is hard for that matter . I'm out there all the time and after reading some of your post I'm beginning to wonder how many of you really know what your taking about I do love this site but if you have very little time in the woods maybe you should not post . Most of the world uses a full size machete the only place that I know of that does not is in Asia and that is another story

I use a machete with a saw back to clear trails around the local trout lake and it works great beter than an axe . I am not going to get stuck some where with just one item I might end up with no items but other wise I am going to have several things . with no items I got to get my brain in gear and make stuff fire first then shelter then knife then container then cordage forage as hunger dictates.

I think most of these people know what they're talking about and even if they don't are welcome to post. Then there are also those who are learning. I'm sure if this site doesn't meet with your satisfaction you might try others. Please, if you decide to stay, don't insult the other members, thank you.
