Here's some of my gear. I gotta find other stuff that's been lost in storage.
From left to right:
-Surplus poncho. Good for a ground moisture barrier or for emergency shelter.
-Wool blend blanket, good down to about 50 degrees without a fire. I need to save up for a true wool blanket. I do have a winter sleeping bag that's good down to -10F, but I haven't done any winter camping in a while.
-Knives: Morakniv knife, carbon steel, Condor Bushcraft Basic 5" blade, carbon steel, Nameless folding knife I found, Smiths pocket diamond sharpener
-Leather work gloves, Cheap little LED tactical flashlight, Compass, whistle, signal mirror,
-Fire kit, I always keep three artificial ways of making fire: ferro rod, lighter, matches in a waterproof case, and drier lint in another waterproof case for emergency tinder.
-Cook kit: Surplus canteen and tin cup bottom, three piece stainless steel pots and pan set.
-50 feet of paracord. Keep it wrapped daisy chain.
Not pictured:
Still need to find my fishing kit, basic kit, line, lures and weights. Also keep fly lures for when I was in NM.
Also need to find my fire tin, it had a flint, steel, and my charcloth I made
Nameless kukri I bought at a gun show
Condor woodworking axe
.40cal Glock handgun
.50cal caplock, muzzle loaded, blackpowder rifle (got stolen, so I need to replace this)
I've remained out in the woods on my own for 5 days. I brought food with me, and I've been moderately successful depending on season and how familiar I am with the location foraging. I don't get into sustenance hunting when I'm camping, though I've had a friend with me once who successfully traps and we got a rabbit. Also have gone rabbit hunting on occasion. A lot of the rivers and lakes in NM also stocked rainbow trout, usually easy to catch while camping. I bought the rifle for elk hunting in NM and never got a chance to use it. I'll be going back this year and I may finally get to make a trip of it. I also want to try shooting shot from the rifle. I've been watching video of people shooting shot from rifled muzzle loaders, and despite the rifling, having decent spread and accuracy out to about 20 yards. Enough for small game hunting.
