Myself, my brother and our friend will be doing the one can challenge in mid March or early April and I wanted to invite /out/ to join us.

The guidelines are simple. You can have one bladed tool such as a multi, an axe or a saw and whatever gear you can fit completely inside a 12oz or smaller container. Regular clothing, required medicines, and tobacco (because we aren't quitting) aren't restricted (but you can't use non-resricted items such as lighters brought specifically for cigarettes to also light fires). We'll also be packing additional gear including a med kit, bottled water and some food for emergencies, but of course the challenge is to not use them during the week that we'll be there. We also will be in separate areas and not sharing supplies or resources. We'll be doing the challenge in NF land near a stocked lake.

Obviously, this is the internet so people will probably cheat, but fuck them, they're only cheating themselves; this is an exercise to test skills and learn from mistakes.

Open discussion for gear ideas and whether you plan on doing the challenge yourself. If it generates interest, I'll report back and open a discussion on what worked and what gear was packed but not used, and how long we made it without tapping into the emergency gear.
