If you could only have one gun, which one would it be?
If you could only have one book about living off the land, which would you choose?
One knife?
One tool?
I know several of you can offer solid opinions on these topics. Your answers can help me narrow down all of my information, and help weed out the unnecessary bits.
Thank you for this thread!!!!!! I have already learned so much from all of you.
>>>Okay, in an effort to slim down my research, I wonder if I might pick the brains of the experienced folks around here.

Ahhh, my friend - you ask impossible questions...
If I will be marooned at sea, on a tropical islet, lush jungle, open desert, barren mountain, woods, plains, seashore, all would call for different answers...
If just surviving is the goal, forget the gun, forget the book - knife - a sturdy Swiss multi-tool(not like the ones made today)- and either a pot or a bowsaw... You could live comfortably with that.
But then, I was trained by Don Kepler back in the 50’s - even those would not be needed in an area with the right resources. Your brain, hands and fingers are all the tools you really need to survive.
