Hai guis! Help me put together an innawoods bag.
So I made a thread about joining the army where Capiton pointed out the importantness of having survival skills. Now I've never been camping, not even in a backyard, but I live right next to the forest so I figured I should start. So what should I pack? Keep in mind this is preparation for the army so I don't want absolutely everything that could be useful.
I live in Florida and there are numerous animals I have to worry about including bears, bobcats, foxes, gators, snakes, and wild boar. I don't have anyone to go with so I'll be by myself (I plan on letting multiple people know where I'm going though). i want to do an overnight trip and then stay longer and longer as I get more acclimated with the enviroment.
I don't have any experience either other than reading books and watching a shit load of discovery.
So what should I pack? I plan on bringing backups like emergency food, water, and a fire starter, but other than that I want to actually have to rough it.
Also, keep it cheap if possible.

Edited by ToiletToads: 4/9/2013 12:03:33 AMIf you're seriously worried about those animals, bring a gun. Other than that you'll want a large blade, like a machete, fire starter equipment, water (or water purifying kit for long excursions), cooking equipment, food (or hunting/trapping supplies for a long trip), tent, and compass. Maybe something like a swiss army knife. It all depends how serious of camping it is though. If you're just hanging out in the woods in a tent you wont need too much. If you're actually traveling from place to place, and scavenging for survival, you'll need more.

1. Mess kit to cook your meals. At least have one largish pot, cup, and a spoon. 2. A knife, non-foldable, as they're more durable. 3. A hammock, they're light and keep you off the ground and away from cirtters. 4. Camping stove, unless you plan on using a campfire. 5. A hatchet, if you plan on having a campfire. 6. A couple bandannas, they have multiple uses. 7. Some rope or chord and a separate waterproof bag to hang a bear bag.
