If you were dropped in a wooded area to survive for 30 days and you could only take three things, what would they be?

I’d take 550 cord, magnesium stick and a good knife

    A clean water kit, a a blanket, and someone who knows how to kill and skin animals.

    I’d also make sure I went in several layers of clothes.

    If we can take people, I only need one item, Bear Grylls. Well maybe some coffee then as well, that way I can keep up with him lol.

    I would take:

    1.Bear Grylls - former British SAS, I know I will be ALIVE after 40 days.
    2. Adventure trauma kit which will include my climbing gloves.
    3. Flint fire starter/striker

    Might be useful if you were to spend 40 days in Zada's, The forest, starring Natalie Dormer.

    knife, thermal blanket thing to keep me warm and extra pair of glasses, coz i'll be *kitten* if I can't see and I can't keep my contact lenses in for a whole month without my eyes dying.

    Multitool, hemp twine, assuming it's like naked and afraid : boots, assuming we're all dressed : something to easily start a fire.

    Depends on if it is warm or cold season a bit.
    Assuming I am not trying to get out of the wooded area or be rescused and I have clothes I am wearing and my glasses by default then I would take:
    1. my medication- I might not die without it in 30 days but I will suffer a lot and maybe want to die.
    2. A knife or hatchet
    3. Something to make fire

    50gallon drum of Gatorade
    Small chemical start candle for ambiance, could also be used for starting fires, I suppose

    Since you added an MFPer leut... I get to rewrite my list. I am going to choose:

    1. @bojack5 ... He is a retired Marine, so wilderness skills are guaranteed. Dying is NOT AN OPTION. He can build things and climb trees, meaning that sleeping quarters are guaranteed to be elevated. His strengths are land bound, mine are beds of water. I will not need any weapons or a trauma kit, coz @bojack5 has skills and is literally good at everything - solutions wired.
    2. Steel Pot ( collecting/boiling water. + cooking vessel)
    3. Flint striker

    Three things? I'm not usually one to objectify people, BUT in this case... I know which three of you guys I'm taking with.

    *AND that includes the three things you're already taking with you, so it makes for 3 skilled persons and 9 useful things.

    BAM.

    @CoffeeAndContour, @Avocado_AS5 and @kinetixtrainer2.

    As much as I'd believe @bojack5 would be a perfect addition to the team, I am not partial to becoming dinner...
