    1) You can't burn green wood, or much wood at all with gasoline or other petroleum thingdos. They burn far too quickly to react with the wood.

    2) Cowboys had canopeners. Dummy.

    I'd bring a large, sharp knife to skin bark and moss, make rope and weapons and cut up my foods.

    I'd bring a tarp to create temporary shelters and collect water.

    A pot or pan to cook in.

    A waterbottle to keep my water in.

    Signature by rubah. I think.

    What, you're not just going to bring your Stash and craft a bunch of stuff in the hopes that the animals will drop gold and lewt?

    Speaking of eating, coconuts. The milk has all the stuff you need to live on.

    A knife, possibly a survivor deluxe style with a serration ontop and a wide axe blade

    a pot to boil water in

    a lighter or pack of matches

    a friend. the only thing i wished i had when i was alone in the wilderness was someone to talk to.

    Oh yes it can, all you need to do is to stab it one end (near the edge) and work your way around (kinda like and old fahioned can opener-lever thingy)


    I wouldn't bring a knife, I'd bring a very sharp machete, a lighter maybe some ropes. I'll slice the can of weenies in half with the machete, cook it and then when night falls, I'd catch something (or maybe someone) and tie it/him/her up. Then, I'd take the machete and slice it/him/her into manageable pieces and cook them.

    Oh, this is easy.

    • 1 paper-clip
    • 1 magnifying glass
    • 1 lock of a mermaid's hair
    • 1 roll of duct tape


    I start by using the magnifying glass to concentrate heat from the sun and use this to melt the paper-clip. I guess I have to use my hand as a container for the melted metal. I form the melted paper-clip into a small coin-shaped thing. This will be used as my luck amulet for my adventures to come.

    At this point, I scoff irritably at the rabbits, deer and other cutesy animals who have gathered to watch me.

    Then, I try to bring down a large tree by tackling it, protected by several layers of duct tape. I would then use the fallen tree trunk for sitting on, whilst dreamingly sniffing on my mermaid's hair lock and making grunting noises.

    As for the weenies, I've sent them to starving children in Africa. I'm a nice guy like that.

    I'd take a battery-operated laser, so that I could use it to heat up the can just enough to roast the weinies. Even if the can doesn't have a tab to rip the top off, heating a sealed can causes it to burst open* at the top anyway, so I'm set.

    * Speaking from experience. Not recommended. You never said I had to eat the weinies.
