now make a video where you survive 3 days with those 5 items, its not as easy as people make it out to be, roy harrell on Paul Harrells channel made a good one
I go out twice a year, my kids pick the season & 5 items & I choose 5 items, that is all I take, I have gone into the wild with some very strange items, but I haven’t failed yet, mostly it’s good fun & I’m keeping my hand in
it’s funny how people who make youtube videos say like "5 items" or 10 or whatever. noone actually says "10kg of equimpent" or "20 liters of equipment" to match their backpack and ability to carry 😌 this isn’t a videogame so only number of ITEMS carried counts, it’s real life so take in concideration other things besides "number of"
1. Kershaw Camp 10 Kukri machete. Short enough for fine carving/whittling, big enough to baton (and use in conjunction with a mallet and wooden wedges I’d make) and bites DEEP when chopping due to the Kukri blade. Can also use as a planer for stripping bark and even scraping stretched hides….
2. A good saw.
3. A bush pot for cooking/water purification/storage (I would create a seperate cup and container whilst out there)
4. Big ferro rod, with BRIGHT ORANGE handle.
5. Cordage I agree on the survivor cord.
With a saw and Kukri I can make a 100% waterproof and well insulated shelter. And it would house the fire INSIDE. this is almost essential for long term. Uses FAR less wood to keep you warm all night, and holds heat enough I’d get proper sleep without having to add more wood every hour because so much heat gets lost to the air.
I would begin making a bow, spear and gig the 2nd day after my shelter is complete and wood (a few days worth minimum) is gathered. I would also set a trap line. Once that is complete it’s time to create more tools. A wooden baton, wedges, raised bed, camp chair, collecting more pine bought for insulation, create a seperate bow and cupl for water storage/drinking (for when you are actively cooking or boiling/letting cool with the pot)
Honorable mentions..
I COULD forgo cordage for a Milspec Poncho. Between my extra-long 550 cord boot laces, my wrapped Kukri sheath and my bracelet I kind of have enough to forgo any more in order to have rain gear/instant shelter with a Poncho… And in fact I think that might be the smarter choice, because of how much you can do with a poncho which is an IMMENSE list….
The Poncho and also allow me the ability to travel weather for exploration or trying to find my way back to civilization, and have everything I need to stay dry and make an immediate dry camp in the event of bad weather ECT.
"You Die."" Kind of forgot the most important thing, a coat. In the 16th century till the 20th century a coat was the most expensive thing anyone owned. 2nd a tomahawk. 3rd a file to sharpen the hawk and to spark with flint you find. 4th a 3 quart steel pot. 5th a compass. Everything else would be made. I’d head southeast= warm weather.

1. Water resistant bivy/ sleeping bag combo
2. Leatherman Wave
3. Bic lighter (in North America 72-96 hours of trekking will get you back to civilization)
4. Steel single wall bottle/cup combo
5. A 21 pound deep fried Tom turkey double bagged in 6 gallon oven bags
BONUS: (because my list of five was so good) two 4 mil, 50 gallon contractors liners
Im going to take things i cant fashion out of nature. That means everything metal !!
1. A carving axe
2. A small pressure cooker (water distillation, cooking, storage)
3. Metal wires of all sorts.
4. Modern medicine
5. Gravity water bag (bcoz youll need a lot of water when your constantly running)
so dumm choose. Where the pot? how you will be cooking food? best is have the pot and boil food or fry it
pot give many opportunities. and prepare water too and storage, hot water is best thing for clean and desinfect things. Pot is the best thing must have knife, fire rod, and pot! bottle is amazing to have too. it is hard to build something to replace the cooking pot!
Nonsense…You don’t need a knife to survive outdoors at all because lets face it, for hundreds of thousands of years man has used stone tools instead, and they must have worked just fine or we wouldn’t be here now. Stones can be found everywhere, and you just need to strike two of them together in the right way to break off a razor sharp stone flake and you instantly have a natural knife that can be sharper than any steel blade. Cordage is not essential either as the warmest outdoor shelters don’t need any cordage to build them at all. Where cordage is needed Spruce roots or withies can be used. Tents are not essential either, as it’s easy to build dry, warm and comfortable shelters in woodland using nothing but natural materials. (It is much easier to do that in the winter though). One thing that is essential to survive outdoors is having a reliable way to light a fire, and being able to find the right tinder…Firesticks only work if you can find dry tinder…If you can’t, then they are about as much use as a chocolate fireguard! I would take a butane lighter with a flint striker instead because it’s much easier to light a fire if you have an actual naked flame to begin with. Once you have the fire going you can easily dry suitable tinder out. And even when the lighters gas runs out the flint striker on the lighter can do the same job as a Firesteel, with your now dry and easy to light tinder. Reliable water filters can be easily built using discarded plastic bottles, the charcoal from your fire, spagnum moss, sand and gravel, layered in the correct manner, but without something to boil the filtered water in, you are not going to survive for long. Therefore the second essential thing you need to survive is a pot to boil water in. It can also be used to cook your food, gather water, store water and as a cup to drink out of. Another essential item is a small tarp, say 2m x 1m in size. This can be used to easily gather the dead leaves you will need to insulate your shelter in and to carry them back to your shelter in large amounts easily. It can then be used as a ground sheet under you in your shelter so you can stay dry even if the ground is damp. The forth essential is something to catch food with…A fishing net would be preferable to a fishing rod as you can potentially catch far more food in one go with even less effort. Probably the best tool for catching food on dry land would be a slingshot..The ammo is any small stone you find lying around. And my fifth essential would be a small pocket sized book on trees, plants and fungi so you can know what wild foods can be gathered from the woods and which are safe to eat…Extremely important when it comes to gathering fungi.
All these survival items are great and all but what are the chances that you end up in a truly stranded survival situation and will already have any of those items on you ? Learn how to use the resources around you
5 lbs of wire, heavy-duty 20×20 canvas tarp, saw edged cold steel shovel, modified Crunch mulittool, and lots of bug netting. I can make a good enough bow and pottery. I can stone boil water. I can make netting, containers and cordage ouf of the tarp, as well as shelter clothing and sleeping gear.
F the tent and get yourself a 30-30 lever action and a good amount of ammunition.
A fking gun
…….
Very rarely do I actually agree with a whole list like this but I would have chosen the same 5.

5 items and no Rifle?.. lol

you would die in forest.
Wow no one has ever thought of this before
This is not redundant in any way

I wouldn’t go 😂
I have one mission in life. Knives are NOT for striking ferro rods. There is no scenario in life in which you need a knife to strike a ferro rod.

Surprised you’d prefer to go naked over those five items. 😜
One: a knife. With a knife you can do everything. Without it, you can’t do anything.

3) phone with Infinite battery and signal

This is assuming that surviving will only be temporary…
