Matt, I agree a good pair of boots will get you far...
, a good pair of boots and a little common sense will get you farther...

The BladeForums.com 2024 Traditional Knife is ready to order! See this thread for details:
https://www.bladeforums.com/threads/bladeforums-2024-traditional-knife.2003187/
Price is $300 $250 ea (shipped within CONUS). If you live outside the US, I will contact you after your order for extra shipping charges.
Order here: https://www.bladeforums.com/help/2024-traditional/ - Order as many as you like, we have plenty.
I still believe that all you need is a pair of boots, a watch, a knife, and enough cigarettes to get you through the day. The rest will come naturally.
I dunno. I can see how you could stick the knife in one boot and the cigarettes in the other so you don't really need pockets, but what if it's cold?![]()
I would add:
For southerners: a good pair of sandles, and for us northerners: agood pair of snowshoes
No man should own sandles.![]()
I drew inspiration from all you guys, and couldn't help putting in my 2 cents,
1. a knife you made yourself
2. hot sauce you made yourself
3. pictures of you with your motorcycles, 4x4 , trucks, canoes
4. scars and the ability to remember each story (embellished or not).
5. a sense of adventure
6. a love of music,
7. a can do attitude
8. a love of work
9. a playful mind (or of burning things with your zippo)
10. a son to pass it all off to.
I knew someone wouldsay that. I wanted to just say snowshoes, but what good are they for someone from Florida?
