   General Survival Question: What would you choose to bring along in each catagory?
   
   If you were going to be dropped off in a Random "inhabitable" spot on this earth....  and were only alowed to choose One of each: A book, a tool and a Pet... what would you choose for each of the three categories to bring along with you?  (Price is not a part of this question)

   Book wise probably something inspirational to take my mind off the environment. Maybe something like Lance Armstrong's 'It's not about the bike'
   
   Tool- Maybe a leatherman or swiss army knife to give me a selection of potential basic tools to use
   
   Pet. I'm not a pet person to be honest so I would probably not be fussed with having a pet with me
   
   But I could make up that i'll take my pet cow Martha for some milk and whom I can use for meat potentially long term just in case.

      In my article on this subject I made a note about Rottweilers... not my first choice... but not a bad choice either I would suppose... The value of having Cujo to guard your sleep cant be underestimated:-)

   Book: The Poisonwood Bible by Barbara Kinsolver. So much food for thought in there!
   
   Tool: A good knife
   
   Pet: A cat. Great for companionship and unlike dogs they can hunt and generally look after themselves!
