Slingshots are small quiet and ammo = rocks

the cloves I mentioned are in the link

en.wikipedia.org...

you might want a small sewing kit as well ...they come in handy

thanks for the link, i can probly find some at a local erbal shop. A good slingshot may be a bit difficult, never seen one in any of the catalogs i get or the shops i go to but nonetheless i will look into them.

2 of the lighs are just reguar flashlights, 1 of them is smaller and runs on AA's, the other is a LED light. I have seen many different models of hand crank and solar radios but i dont know what would be the most efficient for use VS cost VS weight.

I don't care to promote any particular company that makes "wind up radios and flashlights" but a google search with the word wind up radio or flashlights will get you what you need.
they have them at circuit city and places like that as well


batteries are only useful if they can be rechargable after they die there useless

oh and you can get cloves at the grocery store in the spice section
the ground up clove is the best and more useful.
...and sparingly used makes meat yummy and helps with the change in diet

you also need salt

many of the little woodland creatures carry ticks and flea's therefore can make you sick. there is alot of info out there and in this forum.

don't forget to study "all the ways to make potable water" that's paramount

In times of stress our bodies use up water soluble vitamins at accelerated levels. that's why I suggested the vitamins. they can keep you in top form during the transition.

Going to the dentist and making sure the choppers are in good health is a good idea...nothing worse than fighting a toothache in the bush.

and finally considering the caliber of your weapon, I would get bear spray if there's a chance of larger predators being around.

thanks for the tips friend. the .22 is just my multitask weapon, i will be carrying a 12 guage pump and a .308 rifle for big games/self defense. Im looking at 4 wind up radio/FL combos at the moment and seeing what folks are saying. I will keep an eye out for the cloves next time i go to the store as well as vitamins. but the damn batteries are going to cost an arm and a leg to have enough.

Garbage bags. If it gets real cold climb on in and stay warm. Sounds dumb but it works, they can be used for a number of other things also. I'd consider a pistol in a substantial caliber as well. Possibly a revolver. Maps of the area you plan to stay in. Radio. Man there is so much stuff! Medical stuff for every possible issue.
