Top Three Survival Items???

I dunno, Wilson is a bit of a rogue, I'd probably take his buddy Spalding

Hmmm.... Wilson's been there, done that. I think he would be a good guy to have along. If you can convince him to stay. I understand he's a drifter.

So, all the things that have been going on in the world lately have gotten me to think...if something were to happen, and you were stranded somewhere, what would be the top three things you would need to survive on your own?

I would have to say...my Bible, my boyfriend (he's better with the survival stuff), and....chapstick...

That's easy. Swiss army knife with a magnifying glass, diving mask if we're near water and a mirror.

What's the mirror for? So you have some company?

The mirros is for signaling & making it easier to deal with injuries that you otherwise can't see. I've just noticed that after 3 weeks or so camping that it's something I really miss having. I think if you're alone for very long you'll need one. The mask is for fishing. Fishing in small bodies of water like creeks is *much* easier if you just go get what you're after. Fishing tackle is not a bad idea but you'll eventually lose all your lures.... The knife w/ magnifying glass is an all purpose tool. You can make and endless supply of harpoons to go with the mask for fishing and the magifying glass is better than matches. Starts fires, works after getting wet and never runs out.

5 bouyant Canadians, rope to tie them together to make a raft, and some sails.

(nothing against Canada... I like America Jr!)

LOOL... That one wins the originality prize... :lol:

Of course, buoyant Americans are easier to find than buoyant Canadians.....not by much but still, survival is matter of maximizing your odds..

True Americans probably are more buoyant... but Canadians are funnier! At least from an American perspective!

 

[Diver0001]

The really funny thing is that you could find Canadians who would volunteer for pontoon duty as long as they thought they were being helpful.....

Okay, I'm assuming you have given a serious answer. Why cellophane? To aid in constructing a shelter?

Bill.

Cellophane is for "making" fresh water; condensation. Without water, you're a goner.


LOL...was just reading your last sentence. How in the $@#% are you gonna use cellophane to build a shelter??? LOL
