Having thought about it; If I could only have one item, it would be experience/ knowledge above all others. This is the only item that would and could repay you a thousand times.<br><br>If you had taken the time to practiced in your own back garden (I'm english) and then taken that knowledge with you and included 'the will to live' you could pretty much stand up to any scenario thrown at you.<br><br>If you wanted me to also take an item It would be a fixed bladed knife! As this would allow me to construct and build the creature comforts to make my stay at least slightly hospitable.<br><br>A most interesting question <br><br>regards<br><br>Ian<br><br>
