A quality knife, assuming I didn't fall off a turnip truck in the middle of a blizzard.This would put fire starters into priority.An individual with a knife can eventually replicate virtually every needed survival item;bow drill for fire,cordage,etc. The psycological comfort may be illusory,but we all stand a little taller and confident with cutlery.Remember how Arthur went from Squire to King !<br><br>
