I want to test my skills but it is impossible. Every time I go camping, kayaking or hiking I have enough backups to equippe half the river. Simple thing as fire... I have my Windmill lighter, waterproof matchers and book of matches together with my pipe. On top of that I have flares and fire starter. Now I can make fire with all these things in a minute. Don't even get me started about flashlights and blades (although I converted to carrying a folder, wave and fixed sog).

So with deeply rooted idea of back ups and redundancy how would you set up a survival trip short of going naked into the woods?
