text: beast camping gears? im going on a 7 days camping to a island (just like the tv show survivor) any advice of what kind of gears i have to bring along? if you are going to hike through the island, bring a frame pack. if your going for seven days, bring ten days worth of clothes, but always extra socks and underwear. regular clothes, rain gear, cooking stuff, like pots and pans and water purification tablets or filters. plenty of matches, get a map of the area and a compass, make sure you know how to use both. bring walkie talkies, an emergency beacon if you can afford it, emergency kits are a good idea, they usually come with mirrors to signal someone, water proof matches, space blankets, and other survival equipment. bring at least three really sharp knives as well as a small sharping stone, and axes or hatchets, lots of rope and maybe even a tarp or something.  they have freeze dried meals which cut a lot of weight and space. they are usually five bucks a meal, but there is a lot of food in them and its pretty good. just add hot water, let soak for 15 minutes and enjoy.  make sure to bring a decent tent. most importantly, know where you are going, let people know where you are going and how long your gonna be there. if possible, get a gps. bring extra batteries for it. lanterns are always a plus, as well as a few flashlights. before you go anywhere, ask yourself, whats the weather going to be like, whats the nearest civilized spot, wild animals, stuff like that. be prepared for the worse but hope for the best. good luck
