The reason I ask is that, if you could survive - endure for 2 weeks, you could probably go a month. If a month, maybe a season....
If you could endure a season, you could make it a year. Every other tool and convenience then would be 'extra' factors for survival and thriving.. the baseline would have been established: I can survive with nothing but a knife. Now, with MORE than a knife, it all gets much, much better....
(so, a machete improves things immensely....a fishing rod beats the wooden spears/traps hands down... a tarp beats thatch or leaves... rope beats grass or animal hide cords.... an iron pot and pan.... immensely better than just grilling or charcoaling food...
Right now, I'm one of those "I could eke out 3, maybe 4 days, hungry" survival guys. My BOB has 1 MRE and snacks, tea and coco in it. I'd be hungry but I'd get by for 3-4 days. 2 weeks....right now, probably not. But I'd love to learn woodcraft to that degree.
Imagine being locked away in some remote BOL with 5+ months of food stockpiled, the 8+ cords of wood laid back, the fuel, solar panels, etc. all there good to go....but then the disaster or persecution or what have you makes it look like honestly, you won't be going back into town for at least 8 to 12 months... far beyond what rationing will get you. Well, if you can survive indefinitely with nothing but a knife, then you'll be able to stretch modern, civilized rations and all the whiz bang tools of a modern kit into the duration.
In other words, I'd like to be able to supplement and not be totally depending on any pre-disaster stockpile.
