As always you are a wealth of information Sir.
Good stuff.
Not sure how you feel about Les Stroud, but he has a good survival book. My wife is sleeping or I'd go get it and tell you the name.
Just figured I'd tell you some stuff I've personally used.
Knife (I have a LOT) but for survival situations I really recommend the Gerber Lmf2. You really can't beat it for the price.
I have a Leatherman multi-tool that has help me out more times than I can count. They make quality tools, though they can get pricy.
As far a firearms go, don't underestimate the power of a decent air rifle to take game. I have killed Possum, racoon, squirrel and chipmunk with mine. It's a Gamo silent cat.
