If I was going into the woods alone for some apparent reason, I would bring some important things with me. First of all I would bring a Knife. I would bring a Damascus steel buoy knife for hunting and other tasks. I would bring flint and steel to start fires and cook food. I would bring a bowl to boil water to purify it and eat out of and cook out of. I would bring a warm jacket to sleep in and lastly I would bring a flare to notify any flying passerby.
