Less is More.
Just depends. . .
There's things I carry on a daily basis such
as knives, cord, bandana/handkerchief,
fresnel lens, etc. that aren't any extra burden
when out hunting, hiking, etc.
Toilet paper doesn't really weigh anything,
and even though I can improvise, I don't
really care to. Rope isn't really heavy, and
even though I got my merit badge for
making some, I don't care to make one
out in the woods. I'm not carving any cups
or utensils, or looking for medicinal plants
when I fall ill , or building a log Ponderosa
cabin with an exacto knife. All those
yoofloob "survivors " do all that " bushcraft "
stuff as entertainment. Some of it might be
applicable if you were a plane crash survivor
without any resources, but I'd as soon bring
my own spoon as to carve one, and I'll
bring something to wipe with and use
leaves only if I run out of paper
