If you could be in any realistic survival scenario you choose what would it be?
What would you bring with you?
And where from season one?
Mine would be:
- Arizona desert
- Folding leatherman knife, survival blanket, magnesium flint stick 2L of water
- Clothes

Given those options I would take all of them.
My leatherman, food, water, mag bar, and other! other would be proper clothing for the environment, a tarp, a pot and a roll of 550 para cord.
That basicly sounds like a good camping trip to me tho.. lol, but yea, if i had to survive i'd want that stuff. Would work well in the boreal forrest, somewhere that i could hunt/gather for food and have access to streams for water.

I chose "other". My ideal choice for a single survival tool would be a big skinner with a 5.5" blade. Easier to work with than the small knife on the leatherman, you can rope it off to a pole for defense or hunting, use it in combination with a blunt logend for an efficient axe substitute, just dependable & indispensable.
For the scenario there's no contest, Alaskan mountain range, spruce forest.

The style of knife with a wide blade, and a short taper.. something like this:
Course I prefer a traditional wooden handle.
