OK lads and lassies we're going to take a walk, just 10 short miles in that forest over there WHAT!!!! Yes I know its dark and gloomy but then some forests are but there's nothing there to harm you, nothing there to fear I see you have the rucksacks I told you all to bring. Right folks open them up and we'll see whats contained within Ah theres no surprise at what you've got in yours, a tiny flask a magazine and your lucky rabbits paw.( Obviously it wasnt lucky for the rabbit) In yours just a make up bag now that'll really do some good, at least you'll still look beautiful when your dying in the woods Right lets take a look at what I've got in mine, a 10 x 8 tarpaulin and a ball of nylon twine Ah yes a survival knife the handle holds a flint for striking fire, and in this bag 3 snares each 18 inches of supple wire Now this small tin contains my means to stay alive, 2 small containers of lint from in my tumble dryer, perfect tinder for making fire This little brass things with holes in the top is my small trangia cooker 2 ounces of spirit poured in there gives 15 minutes of fire A picnic blanket aint much use if your stranded in the woods, well this one is because the underside is completely waterproof This old tin mug has served me many times as a makeshift cooking *** A litre bottle of water and it weighs 15 pounds the lot So heed the lessons carefully,Β Β it might help you to survive Carry the 15 pounds that I do and you might stay alive
Actually I carry several other bits and pieces as well but it all comes within the 15 weight limit I set myself
