Sting

Fyi Kalimac a tinder box is just that, a box with tinder in it (stuff to make a fire) added to it are a steel (small metal thing) and a flint...Et voila, fire.

I meant to add earlier, that all the stuff you bring, you have to carry yourself....
So whoever said "a horse", NO (unless of course you are very strong!)
Also you are fully clothed in whatever takes your fancy, weather permitting.

I will allow you to take one extra thing, but it has to be a book (and yes, Bibles are allowed)

Being a Ranger myself this could work out very embarrassing if I do not choose well.
So this is my 5 and book.

1)Good Sword (guns are no good if you run out of ammunition, even if they do appear useful against a Balrog.
2)Small knife (poss swiss army style, good for all the little jobs)
3)Tinder box (matches suck when they get wet, and you can run out of them)
4)First aid kit (there may be no plants available)
5)Mess tin (army type eating/cooking/drinking vessel) These are invaluable

Book)Tom Brown book of survival (i forget things as i get older)

I think that covers everything......just.

Meet you all soon.
