Replace plastic cup with a steel cup. You can boil water in a steel cup. In an emergency situation and you have used up all your water tablets you can use the steel cup to boil your water.</li> <li>I keep my water in a removable bladder from my day pack. That way you can drink and still be mobile.</li> <li>I always carry a heavy duty machete.., always. Very easy strap onto the side of a pack – out of the way, yet ‘available’. Buy a great one., not a piece of junk that won’t hold up to heavy use.</li> <li>I like that. But I’ve taken a lot of stuff out of mine, and reduced it to a day pack and one zippered bag of groceries. I neved know what I’m going to get into when I change locations, and many things are just ‘extra’, since I take care of all of that as I go. There’s usually plenty in my surroundings to compensate.</li> <li>I think it’s ment for backpackers and not woodsmen and women. No real knife, Axe etc.. good tips for bird watchers and trail junkies. Not so much for wilderness survival or bushcraft.</li> <li>and instead of a pocket knife, rather, in addition to a pocket knife, I would include a larger hunting knife and/or machete</li> <li>Lists like this are great tho! Modify, experiment, modify.</li> </ul> <p><a rel=Share
