Hey Ya'll,I have a serious question about long term sustainability in the forests of America. If you could only bring one bag full of gear into the woods to live for at least one month (maybe more), what would you absolutely need? The setting is a typical forest somewhere in CO, UT, WY, etc.Here's some items I would absolutely bring: 1. Midsize axe 2. Woodgas stove/White gas stove such as MSR 3. Medium fixed blade 4. Folding knife 5. Heavy duty tent 6. GPS 7. Folding saw 8. Cookset for cooking and boiling water 9. Sleeping pad 10. Handgun (defense) 11. Water container 12. Rope/cordage 13. Fishing tackle 14. Lighter/matches/ferro rod 15. Compass and maps of the area 16. Toiletries 17. First aid supplies 18. Water filter/ purifying tablets 19. Gloves 20. Clothes to cover variety of weather types 21. 2 headlamps (back up and batteries) 22. Wire (making traps and whatnot) 23. Sleeping bag 24. Ziploc bags 25. Trash Bags 26. Sharpening Stone 27. Camp Rag(s) 28. Edible plants field guideThis is assuming that you can hunt, trap, and fish for food. If I'm being honest, this isn't totally hypothetical. I have plans to travel to different wilderness areas in the spring and live off the land as much as possible. I will have some money saved up and will carry enough food supplies to feed myself in the event that no food can be hunted or foraged. It will basically need to be put in a backpacking bag and/or carried by one person. I also just thought this would be an interested discussion topic. Let me know what you guys/girls think! https://www.reddit.com/r/Bushcraft/comments/5caj7c/hiking_into_the_woods_with_whats_on_your_back/?utm_source=ifttt
