PREV THREAD was not extreme enough for PrepHole.
YOU HAVE 5 ITEMS TO BRING WITH YOU PACKED IN A BAG
you wake up next to a river. plenty of firewood nearby. night temp 40, day temp 80.
what are your five items? could you realistically survive on your PrepHole knowledge?
Same as your picrel but swap out the blanket for a fjellduken, since that can more easily be used as a shelter
Five items are not needed for 30 days. Bare necessities:
1. Full tang knife
2. Tarp
That’s merely to get by.
If I want to make it easier I would bring:
1. Full tang Knife
2. Boiling Vessel
3. Tarp
4. Ferro Rod
5. Water permeable cloth
keyboard warrior that never goes PrepHole thinks he can survive only using a "full tang" knife and a tarp, kek
Anyways here's my list:
1. Hatchet/Axe, sorry knifebros, I just really prefer them.
2. Fjellduken, following another anons advice.
3. Fishing line and hook, I'll count both as one item because they take little to no space. If the river is too long and I can't bother following it to a body of water I'll just use it on traps for small game
4. Cordage
5. German mess kit, which I never used but I'm thinking of ordering one.
Counting a line and hook as one item is a grey area, but a mess kit is definitely multiple items. At least you actually read the OP, unlike
You shouldnt count the hook and line as one item, if that's the case, my knife that has a ferro rod attached to it should then be considered one item.
I mean, yes the knife most surely is one item in my opinion. The line and hook I agree is a grey area as well, but yeah I'm kinda backtracking on the mess kit. Maybe just bringing a big ol' pot.
Nevertheless, my point still stands it's unreasonable to think someone can survive 30 days in this environment with only a knife and a tarp. You've got to have years of experience to even propose lasting this period in the wild. Accidents happen, food might run away at the last second, nature is unpredictable.
>years of experience
Not really, plenty of ppl have gone missing for over a month and survived. They all pretty much resorted to eating bugs, worms, stuff like that. It being only 45 degrees at night is not bad, it being 80 a day is not bad either. I'd be more concerned about accidents due to lack of food.
I’m the keyboard warrior.
Survival for 30 days isn’t indefinite and you could get by easily, while suffering a great deal. If you know how to make cordage, and a variety of traps, you can make it a lot longer than 30 days.

look anon if this guy can do it then so can i
i will find a sharp rock
also beach camping seems like easy mode camping if you can find a water source
30 days? All depends where you are and what time of year.
In spring in a hospitable place with plenty of stuff to eat, I'd like to have a few big cheesecloth bags, a couple of Mason jars. A nice big pot to boil things in. About six bic lighters. A roll of rebar wire. A knife, a small axe, two Nalgene etc water bottles, some gallon ziplocks, some fishing braid, some hooks, a pair of small wire cutters, and a 22 rifle with a box of ammo and maybe a roll of paracord. I'd take a plant key book also. Also maybe a little mini cast iron pan.
Here is a great example of how hard it is to start a fire sometimes and what happens if you cannot.
would you risk riveraids and drink anyways?

>"P-WHA–!"
That is a pretty good showcase though
>night temp 40
>day temp 80
>30 days
Considering Forest Anon has lived for 5 years in -15° to 120° temps I think 40° to 80° for 30 days is absolutely doable
I think his radio said the windchill was -15 but frick that nonetheless
All I need is a 5 gallon bucket of cable lube, a jar of creamy peanut butter, some rope, a glass jar, and a jock strap
>Full tang knife
>Axe
>Stainless steel cup
>Ferro rod
>550 cord, 100 feet
My strategy would be to scout for edible plants, animal sign, and good shelter locations on day 1. I'd start my shelter, a teepee, on that day too.
For bedding I would get as much good straw/pine boughs/leaves as I could carry and fill part of my shelter with them. Like a rat's nest.
Next day, I would start fishing, making hooks from sticks/thorns and using flowers/grubs as bait. I'd also start building fish traps.
Then I'd continue fishing, work on my shelter, and set some small game traps.
For hunting, it would depend on my environment. Grassland/desert? I'd make a rabbit stick (pic rel) and set out. Forest? I'd try to make a bow. Hopefully I could find/kill a bird by this point, for arrow fletching. Whatever the environment, I would also have bait stations with fish guts/etc where I would wait for raccoons or marmots or coyotes and shit with a spear.
In any case, I'm comfortable starting fires, building shelters, making branch mattresses, primitive fishing, using conifer roots as cordage, and archery. There are gaps in my knowledge, like making hooks and the finer points of fish traps. But I think I could make it.
4 grandfather clocks
1 hat
Cheap corona saw from Amazon is better

I was told that these were better than sardines on a innawoods thread. I opened the can and looked at the texture, quality, skinning/scaling, and the smell and I took a fork and separated some. I had hot sauce ready to go but after examination, I took the fork and scooped it out into the dog bowl. Mixed in some dry salmon dog food and let my shepherd mix eat it. She loved it, I wouldn't personally eat it unless I was severely starving to death out in the wilderness.

1. 5"-6" full tang fixed blade knife
2. 1L stainless steel kettle
3. 50ft real paracord
4. Tarp
5. Bic
...in that order, ranked by importance.
Actually, I'm going to switch out the Bic for a pound of salt. It's way more useful.
How are you going to get food?? There's a river full of fish
A river wasn't specified by OP, but they didn't have to specify one. Making rock and stick fish corrals is easy, as it a spear to get them, as is using the paracord cores/strands and a double-ended wedge hook for a fishing line. Or building a fish dam and making a hoop net with a sapling and the paracord cores. Or, if in season, collecting black walnut husks and using them to chemically stun the fish and collect the floaters from a stick fish fence. Or make fish traps out of green branches/saplings, which also catch crayfish.
I mean, that just covers fish. The important thing is the salt, because one good day of fishing could mean a week of doing other stuff.
Lol, I just noticed the river part. Derp. Doesn't matter, though - I have my system and my skills, and the presence of a river or not doesn't change/affect that.
The getting food thing to me is literally find out when I get there. Spruce tips? Wild rose hips? Rasp/blackberries? Pheasantback mushrooms? Linden leaves? Maybe a nearby sandy plain in the riverway with prickly pear? Acorns, walnuts, hickory nuts? Burdock root? Cattail shoots? Pine nuts? Lamb's ear and wood sorrel? The woods everywhere are full of food, and we haven't gotten to meat yet.
can you put seasoning in cold soak meals before you start the soak? will it absorb into the beans and rice and stuff?
3-4 liter pot for boiling water, with something to hang it from
larger tent, build shelter around it
comfy sleeping bag
large knife
really need two more item, firesteel or lighters and some kind of electrolyte mix. you need salt and other electrolytes within 2 weeks or you're going to be in really bad shape.
You can find electrolytes PrepHole, just not in Squincher packets on bushes
