Saw this film in the week, and been thinking about a few things in it.
One thing he does is carry a sort of car style (that pattern but smaller) battery for an Ipod. I carry a pda for reading, information, mp3 etc, and being able to charge this in the wilds is something I am giving a lot of thought too. A battery like this might make for better solar charging during the day.
He also uses guns for protection only. He has a fold down long bow for hunting. We do not get to see the bow fold, or come apart but it has to. This is the time you get to see his Mary Poppins rucksac, he has the bow, and arrows when he needs them, but they never seem to be on him at any other point.
The last thing are nit picks. He does not have a water filter, or even attempt to filter water at any point. Also he does not seem to carry any sort of shelter, or sleeping kit.
This film raises some points for long term bushcraft.
For one, a bow makes better hunting sense, especially if you can make the arrows, and bow yourself, because it is repairable, and replaceable. A fold down bow only needs to go as small as it's arrows, so what would be the ideal bow style?
How much space does entertainment take in your kit?
