Reading the comments on that site cracks me up. People got everything figured out...lol. What's that saying about everyone having a plan?
I dont think I've ever noticed a lighter as one of the items available. Interesting how no one chose it as their ignition. We get a lot of talk about how a ferro rod is a second choice to a lighter and the lighter being superior. Wet condition, windy, tinder thats hard to light, long term etc etc. Very interesting.
A lighter is on the „no-go“ list. They are not permitted to take one.
I should propose my own survival show. "Hell's Survival"It is like "Alone" but once a week, Gordon Ramsay shows up and yells at you for your survival techniques then goes around your camp throwing your crap all over the place.Other ideas:"Jersey Survival" - A bunch of vapid hipsters are tossed into an unforgiving landscape to survive. We know they won't make it, but we get the pleasure of watching the Jersey Shore cast slowly die of exposure or starvation - bonus footage of the rest of the group killing and eating Snookie."Real Housewives of Survivalists" - While their husbands struggle to survive in the wilderness, a group of entitled gals sit around drinking wine and backstabbing each other.
Nothing to do with Alone.. but I thought it unwise to start a new thread to ask this question:In the documentary Meru from 2015 - Theres a scene where they are roasting some foodstuffs over a stove using three different knives. There's a 4-layer SAK, and a small Spyderco ... but I can't quite identify the third. It appears to be a Leatherman Wave blade, but the handle seems to have the texture of a Leatherman Juice. Has anyone seen the film? the scene is around the 30 minute mark... give or take.I'm always curious to see what multitools people carry when survival is a secondary thought. Rather than knowing what the survival instructors carry, I always wonder what the multitool of choice is for climbers, mountaineers, thru-hikers, and the like.
I have Meru, love that film. Let me dig it out and see whether I could help to identify the tool.
An older gen? Petzl Spatha?

Wow! Someone beats me to it! It's rather dark in the tent, but judging from its reflection, I too think it is an older Spatha or a variation of that.(Image removed from quote.)(Image removed from quote.)(Image removed from quote.)
You guys rock!
I too am interested in the choice of gears for the thru-hikers, because their gears are usually lighter weight/compact and relatively durable. But in terms of MT, some well known thru hikers I watched are so concerned about weight saving that they probably will keep everything to absolute minimal(something along the line of SAK Classics/Cadet)
