I’ve got to hand it to you, sounds like you really know your $hit.

You just win with that comment

 

[Tubby’s Canteen]

Need a swede saw. .30-30 with 100 rds ammo. Chipmunk (Cricket) .22 with 1000 rds. 500 yds fishing line, 100 hooks. Estwing camp axe. File. decent large knife, decent small knife, two 2-sided diamond sharpeners. 3 Katahdin water filter pump thingies. Zippo, 3 packs flints, 3 bottles fuel. 3-4 sets good wool clothing, GOOD rain gear. 4-6-man tent, 16x20 tarp. Wrist -rocket sling shot. 10 pair AIH-type leather gloves. 2 wool watch caps. Waterproof hat, 3 neoprene ear bands. 100 lb beans, 100 lb rice would be good. Don't know where you'd store the TP but a year without it might dampen your will to survive.
Anybody remember those little sheet-metal AirTight wood stoves they used to sell? You could stick a roll of visquine, 3 sticks of stove pipe, 20 lb bean and rice mixed, 2 boxes of ammo an Arrow stapler and 2 boxes of staples and a roll of tie wire inside, lash it all to a packboard, and you were good to go for a couple months.
I forgot gun-cleaning stuff. Southeast AK will EAT your metal gear. Sure I forgot some other stuff too, but hey I'm old and it's late. A wood chisel or two would be nice. One of those egg-beater type hand drills would be nice too.

I believe the drill is called a brace and bits

Toilet paper.
rifle, shot gun, pistol and a boat load of ammo. Paper towels for when the TP runs out.
Tent with stove.
Chainsaw and axe and fuel.
Sweet feed (corn, oats, rye, molasses).
Couple of buckets,
Pots, pans, ext
A small still (for distilled water )
Jars
Yeast and sugar
Flour
More toilet paper
....
My heart don't work well enough for the hookers and cocaine... So my dream would be to camp out, make good liquor, and shoot stuff..

Yeast doesn’t like to work well in colder weather you should plan on some form of insulation for your mash bucket. Also be careful running outside in freezing weather you run the risk of condensation freezing in your worm prior to the still heating up and causing a block.

A flow chart on a hypothetical post is impressive you get a gold star ️

The hookers probably dont care what type of boots or watch you have, so don't stress that. The land rover probably helps. As far as the pith helmet, not necessary but you might be charged extra.

Don’t be so sure watches and footwear are both signs or wealth

Thanks. I see one of the pack boxes at the head of the cot with tin can alarm clock and ball cap on top. Note the screen door handle on the side of the box. Those kept the basket hitch in place when slung on the horse. Also handy for lifting the boxes. I still have everything but the floor. It rotted away long ago. Haven't used the outfit in years. I must make an effort to camp with my grandson in that tent before it's too late. Even an overnighter would be an unforgettable experience for him.

Do you just tie the hooker on top of the load?

No, a brace&bit as quite different from a hand drill. I too am old and I do know the difference. Brace and bit is shaped like a crankshaft, and requires large arm motions to turn. The hand drill is small, shaped like an egg beater, uses smaller power-tool like bits, and turns with a crank like an egg beater. I'm sure you can google it.

Very good points... I've always ran my "experiments" in warm weather and ferment in the house... my wife swears she's going to come home and find me having a Ricky Bobbie moment from Talladega Nights... Rolling around in the yard yelling for Tom Cruise and baby Jesus to put out the invisible fire...

Clarification of ground rules: what if anything are you allowed to utilize from the area? (Can cut trees, do game laws apply, etc). Is there fresh water nearby?

Depends on the room and suspension I’d take my chainsaw, a couple sheets of tin and box 10 pounds of nails.

Anything you can can be used

There is abundant fresh water and assume the game laws apply

I’m sure the blood on your pants might have someone else interested in you wandering around the south side of Thunder Bay.

Carried four dead honkers off the field with over the shoulder hanger then went back to the decoys for afternoon flights to get fifth one and fill my daily bag limit. A couple of them were bleeders. I'm 6'1" and they are hung by the legs. Big birds today.

By the way, I am not fat. The camera angle just makes my legs look thick. That's my story and I'm sticking with it.

You’ve provided the best shelter so far but I don’t see a battery of arms , any long term rations or plans for providing them and no means of entertainment to stave off cabin fever.

My 30-06 is locked in the truck. Weapons must be stored locked up here, even in camp. I kept meaning to buy a trigger lock but never got around to it.

I would throw myself in front of a pulp truck rather than do any long term residing in that setup. I loved it but not that much.

For entertainment I bring a stack of literature on female human anatomy (fold-out illustrations are the most entertaining).

Oh, I could make it very unforgettable. No outhouse. When the weather turns to shit, I take a dump inside. Chinette paper plate is the receptical and poo goes in the stove. No mess (hopefully) and any odor is quickly drawn into the fire and up the stovepipe. Two things to keep in mind when employing this method. First, figuring out the correct bombsight adjustment in squat position requires practice. I suggest kitchen or bathroom at home. Somewhere with washable flooring. No carpets! Also I suggest practicing when spouse is at work and kids are in school. Or you may be spending more time in the tent than desired. Second precaution: Use only top quality paper plates! Cheap ones are too floppy. Ask me how I know.

I just died laughing

Always wondered why you hang them by the feet? Taught never to do this as any loose gut juice will spoil the good meat. Hence hang ‘em by the neck where it will pool in the gut cavity away from the beasts.
