   What are the top 10 items you would need to survive in the wild for a week?
   
   If you were lost in the woods and only had 10 items (apart from the clothes you were wearing) which 10 items would be the most important to have in order to survive for a week?

   Depends on your experience. Lets say the person had no idea what they were doing, then my list would be:
   
   Knife
   Lighter
   Something to hold water
   Small Pan
   Sleeping Bag
   Fishing Line
   Hook
   Hand-held Mirror
   Some kind of cordage
   A will to survive
   
   However, for those who know what hey are doing, most anything could be made and/or constructed.
