Do I really need to carry a hatchet? Or a spade? Or a saw?

I'm starting to think that once you have a solod foundation of knowledge you can do just fine with a good knife and a packed canteen kit with fire starters and fishing / trapping kits just to save time and inconvenience.

> Hatchet
Or just pick up branches for your fire.

> Spade
Hands, flat stone or log

> Saw
Are you playing Bob the Builder?

> Gun

Can't you make a spear? Kill a bird with a stone? Make fish traps? Make a bow?

Less Gear. More Skills.
