This is fun
Chopper: full-size or 3/4 length axe, such as Wetterlings Forest Axe or Chopping Axe
Fixed blade: I'm torn on this one; I don't know if I'd take a large, full-size knife like my Greco Explorer (9.5" blade, 15" oal) or if I'd take a 5.5"-6", relatively thin-bladed multi-purpose knife, such as a Buck 119. If only it was still made with a carbon steel blade...
Multitool: Leatherman Supertool 200.
7+1 Other Items:
-metal match (firesteel)
-550 cord, 150 feet
-2 liter canteen w/metal cup top
-dual-sided diamond sharpening stone w/ fine and coarse grits
-large tarp
-small fishing kit
-camp shovel, such as the Cold Steel Special Forces Shovel
-large plastic trash bags
A few more desireable things:
-signal mirror
-signal whistle (I don't go into the wilderness without 'em)
-large wool blanket
-compass
-double-sided bastard file (for sharpening the axe)
-.22LR rifle w/ ammo, such as a Ruger 10/22
Is a backpack/rucksack assumed? It'd be very necessary...
It's actually rather amazing what one can do in the wilderness with a few simple tools and gear and the know-how. Given enough time, one could begin to build a new society
