In initial post along with the ax.

And on another note, you wouldn't really even need an ax if you had a heavy knife. If you baton the knife (hit it with a stick into what you are trying to cut) you can usually get through anything narrower than the knife is long, and with a good sized knife, around a five inch blade or so, you should be able to get big enough pieces of wood for most situations, I don't think that chopping a full size tree is really necessary or wise in a survival situation.

and the sas survival guide pocket size info

ok sorry to make it so long but there is still alot i didnt put in. this is most of what i am taking, i am only worried about taking food for a bit cause the wild is full of things when i learn how to take advantage of it. i dont plan to survive in the wild as much as my mind set is to explore and understand what i NEED, not what i want, and how to get it. i dont plan to take anything that expires or will be throwen away when done. pump bb gun so no buying co2, water bottle with extra filter, lasts a long time, kayak has lots of room so no need to carry stuff and travels with good speed (no gas). well thats my basics and hope all goes well with your survival gear,trip,and attitude stay safe and be prepared my friends.
