Survival Situation Item

[bwframe]

See, I thought about that but figured it was outside the rules of the game. Sure, you have a crossbow but it's no good without bolts, so no way to play within "1 item" rules...

Bolts are built right into the xbow...

There are only 3 factions left after the dust settles. Costumes mandatory.

And here at INGO, we get those references!

This is one oddly, specific scenario you've concocted here.
I guess I'd take a bottle of my highest proof bourbon, I'm gonna be dead soon, might as well go out ****faced.

 

[The Bubba Effect]

Fire making kit. Fire is life and death in the winter.

An axe. Better reach than the 6" knife the other guys have, so now I can have a knife and the med kits they gathered.

I like where this is going

 

[pitbulld45]

For the win

Now, if a fellow knew how to use an old school sling...

Used one as a kid. Expect I'm kinda rusty but I bet it would come back to me.

If it was good enough for David with a little divine guidance, it'll do for me.

I posed this question because my best friend's response was a "LIFE STRAW". My answer was a KNIFE.

 

[pitbulld45]

i think a small forest axe.

Its a tough question, especially not knowing the circumstance, time of year and all that.

 

[Combat Engineer]

God.

 

[MikeHoncho]

Cell phone?

 

[Butch627]

Best pair of binoculars I can afford

 

[Shadow01]

My dog. His EDC vest has a handgun and med kit along with a grayl press and fire starter.

 

[Emo66]

I would have to go with fire starter as well. I think I could improvise almost everything else.

Scenario - You must leave your home, you will be on foot, you are only allowed one item from your survival kits, What would that one item be and why ? You are not allowed to take a firearms.

Just based solely on your avatar I would say a fire extinguisher.

 

[Nugget]

That’s it. I'm bringing an enormous magnet, which I'll use to disarm all the knife and axe guys AND steal any med kit that has scissors, snaps or a zipper.

 

[Hkindiana]

Hand grenade - it can take out the knife wielding med kit stealers, and then provide you with their knives and damaged med kits. Also, it has a MUCH LARGER reach than a hatchet

You all lose for following rules(come on the **** just hit the fan there are no rules).
I will have my EDC plus grab the Volt 60L backpack going out the door(it is always ready to go hiking). I will have shelter,food(9 days worth+snacks),clothing,firearms,raingear,navigation,even nice dry socks,hygiene items,camp shoes(water shoes),nice warm sleeping bag,headlamps(two),and even a towel. It worked for 6 months from Georgia to Maine. If the **** just hit the fan and for some reason I have to leave my house on foot(highly unlikely) I am not leaving it.

If the real question was what survival item will help keep you alive,the answer for me would be knowledge,followed by a knife(as a very useful tool to help). Without the knowledge nothing you take will make the least bit of difference.

I would also be in for an INGO campout. There are many kinds of camping. Are we talking car or backpacking in? If car I can glamp with the best of them,if hiking I would be as well.

 

[Sigblitz]

You guys are making me regret my answer. did I mention my med kit includes a knife, pistol, and flamethrower?

no firearms
