You just get the idea you need to be in the wilderness (whatever is local - hot, cold, dry, wet, etc). You can pick anything up you want on the way out, but you can’t stop walking out the door.

How long do you reckon you would make it living off the land? Any special circumstances or tools that would have helped?

    From where I’m sitting on my way out the door I can grab a backpack full of toiletries, two pocketknives, several layers of clothing, toilet paper, and a waterbottle. If I go out the back door instead of the front, the backdoor being technically closer, I will be able to fill the bottle, pickup a saucepan and whetstone and lighter, grab a big canister of trailmix I made yesterday and a half-empty box of granola bars and box of salt, and snag a shovel and some offset loppers which will be helpful in making a shelter when I get to the wilderness. No rope along the way but I’ll grab the 50ft outdoor extension cord to use instead.

    I’m an Eagle Scout and can probably survive with that kit until I catch an infectious disease or winter comes, though I’d really rather have a hatchet and rope. I’d be pretty miserable after the first three days, though.
