If you had to spend a month deep in the forests of Canada, what three items you would you NOT wanna be caught without?

For me it would be a knife, axe, and probably my flint switch.

l would bring my knife, my flint, and my wife l have had enough survival that l can make due without everything else l know how to make shelter and fire plus the ability to catch food using homemade snare traps and dead falls plus l can catch fish with my bare hands my in-laws are native americans so my father in-law taught me everything. l can not go without my wife because l can make it off the land with little on my own but l done other things on my own long enough

Magnesium Flint start(hot and waterproof) knife of course. Axe is nice but not required. (you can always make one.) Emergency blanket.(Converts to a quick shelter, reflector, water collector, make shift Emergency signal.)

A knife ,an axe and a spade shovel
Why a shovel ?Because being able to dig a hole not only simplifies my need for building shelter,But also helps me trap animals

hmmm
A really good knife
A lighter that is at least not permanently useless when it comes in contact with water
a big light colored tarp as signaling, an emergency shelter, keeping stuff dry

Knife
Clear Nylon twine (snares / pull out strands to make fishing line)
Survival blanket (can be used for rain, tent, blanket & water still)


Next:
Water purification tabs


Knowledge that would be essential:
*How to make a fire without matches (dry wood, tinder, & ur shoe laces for a fire bow)
Native food & medicinal plant identification
How to make fishing hooks (very easy)

Next:
How to make a bow & some arrows (knife very helpful & twine too) or atlatl spear
How to chip arrowheads or fire hardened wood for points
How to make fish hooks if u do not have any
A good sense of direction & a clue on where you're at!


The very best 3 items: An RV, a generator & a couple of hundred gallons of gasoline would be even better.

Done this in the NW forest.

Most important is a good knife, Second is String, preferably something like spider wire fishing line. Third is water proof matches or flint & steel.

With those three items, you can survive. Build a shelter, trap and catch food, and stay warm and cook your food.
