Fellow Jelly Incendiary Dan, toilet paper, water, a knife and something to read.

Seelix's avatar

Les Stroud. That’s all.

incendiary_dan's avatar

It’s circumstantial, but assuming an ideal setting:

Mora Clipper knife
Kukri
Fire piston
Rat traps
Alpaca wool blanket

I might trade one of the blades for a ceramic water filter, since boiling all your water until you find a spring can be annoying, particularly in bark containers.

flint and steel,
500ft braided spiderwire fishing line,
1 gallon metal container for cooking and water
Satellite phone with GPS tracking technology.

I’d take the usuals :

– a water filter
– some ropes.

Then I’d take :
– my Bible
– a stuffed animal :P

KateTheGreat's avatar

A shit ton of toilet paper, two sets of clothes, my pistol, some ammo, and @incendiary_dan.

Haha.

MilkyWay's avatar

^ Genius.

tedibear's avatar

I said it first… ^^

King_Pariah's avatar

@tedibear she even stole your toilet paper! lol

KateTheGreat's avatar

@tedibear Mwahaha, wipe your ass with leaves!

tedibear's avatar

@KatetheGreat – LoL! I’ll show you leaves! See those ones that are three-leafed, those are the special ones, just for you. :P

KateTheGreat's avatar

@KatetheGreat I’m going to steal all of your toilet paper and TP your little hut made of sticks!

King_Pariah's avatar

@KatetheGreat @tedibear

(during the taunting goes and steals the toilet paper)

KateTheGreat's avatar

Whatta jerk. I don’t want leaves stuck in my ass!

King_Pariah's avatar

saying “I don’t want leaves stuck in my ass” implies you want something stuck up your ass, just not leaves… and you can use tree bark. :P

tedibear's avatar

@KatetheGreat – I’m pretty sure we can catch him and steal his nymphomaniac!

King_Pariah's avatar

@tedibear hey, I’ll give you half the toilet paper back, and I’ll let you have sloppy… 10ths?

KateTheGreat's avatar

You two are hilarious.

King_Pariah's avatar

@KatetheGreat and if you get me my champagne, do the dishes, scrub the floors, and sweep the fireplace, I may let you in on this little deal. lol

KateTheGreat's avatar

@King_Pariah It’s alright, I can get an even better deal without having to do all that work. :)

incendiary_dan's avatar

So are the people who’re bringing me along doing so for my wilderness expertise or for the same reason @King_Pariah brought a nympho? Either way, I’m flattered.

blueberry_kid's avatar

What is a nymphomaniac?!

King_Pariah's avatar

nym·pho·ma·ni·a
n.
Excessive sexual desire in and behavior by a female.

KateTheGreat's avatar

@incendiary_dan You’re cute and all but I don’t think your fiance would be too happy if that were the reason I was bringing you into a forest.

incendiary_dan's avatar

@KatetheGreat She wouldn’t like it, but she’d understand. Let’s just say she doesn’t just keep me around for cooking. :P

KateTheGreat's avatar

@incendiary_dan Dammmmmmnnnnn son. :P

tedibear's avatar

@incendiary_dan I’ll fully admit to wanting to use you only for your survival skills. Will you still come with me since I called dibs first?

@King_Pariah – Um, no, but thanks. I’ll just take the TP off your hut once @KatetheGreat is done.

Berserker's avatar
