3 more symbols

I will refine some of these symbols later.

At least one knife is needed, and several are better, preferably in different configurations. This wretched drawing is supposed to represent one of the more traditional fixed-blade designs, the Finnish Pukko, used by the Lapplanders. From preparing food, to cutting material, to shaping wood, to preparing tinder, to de-branching small limbs when needed, the knife is one of humankind's oldest and most useful tools. Fixed-blade designs are the strongest, though some modern locking folding-blade designs are quite strong, also. A 'bolo', 'kukhri', or lightweight hatchet, would also be useful for chopping purposes. Something smaller, with a thinner, more delicate blade, would also be useful for filetting fish, or removing a splinter.

I prefer the look of the large heavy-duty leather shoulder bag for urban day trips, but it might not be most practical, in terms of weight. In terms of durability and wear resistance, it definitely beats nylon and canvas. Water-logged in a heavy rain, it definitely would not be much fun to use. The U.S. Postal Service used to issue some truly kick-a** leather shoulder bags to some of their mail carriers, many years ago, back when it was a 'neither rain, nor hail, nor sleet, nor snow...' proposition. These days, of course, if somebody parks at the curb, in front of your mailbox, you're not even getting your delivery. How times have changed.

Another flashlight. This was a tricky subject for me. Among my many eccentricities, I am part of an on-line 'village' of flashlight freaks. AA cells are the most common worldwide, and there are solar battery chargers that will charge AA 'NiMH' type rechargeable batteries, so if you can only have a couple of small flashlights, those powered by AA cells are probably the way to go (although you can get more performance from lithium-based CR123a cells). One would probably be able to get by with a very dim light 90% of the time, so a long runtime model like the 1xAA Gerber 'Infinity Ultra' would be very useful. Supposedly the 'Infinity Ultra' will last close to 100 hours on a single AA battery, although it will be very dim near the end. However, every once in a while you might need to search for something with a more focused and penetrating beam, and the extra voltage afforded by, for example, a 2xAA model from Fenix, or Quark, would be useful also. Personally, in the category of brighter 2-cell lights, I would prefer a SureFire 9P 'host' with 2xAA Energizer lithium cells inside (with a shelf life of 15-20 years), utilizing a Malkoff M30w led drop-in module (no longer made), but that's just me.
