(my list is serrious)

Good, strong, tough, durable, fixed blade knife.

Flint

Robe (Paracord)

As for creature comfort... My dog Brinkley.

-proper knife (the bigger the better, within reason)
-metal bottle ( boiling water in)
-hunting weapon or, maybe, a hatchet
creature comfort... hmmm... a nice, warm, waterproof blanket maybe...or perhaps an inexhaustible supply of bullion cubes (stock cubes) for when I didn't catch anything...this will let me survive for ages (I hope)
but if I'm going to be found pretty soon, just the knife,bottle and blanket with the creature comfort being a solar-rechargeable mp3 to pass the time or maybe a first-aid kit, if I'm injured or am likely to be.

A strong knife (of the "No, that's a knife" variety - big enough to be useful, but not so big as to be useless for carving )
A plastic tarp or flysheet (I can build waterproof shelter, but it's much simpler with a tarp)
A stainless steel water container (one I can boil water in)

Creature comfort: yeah, probably my harmonica (actually might also be useful in confusing or startling any dangerous wild animals in emergency)

Anything else, I can make. I know several ways to start a fire. I know how to make strong cord, weave baskets, build shelter, make a warm bed, find food...

*My trusty lock knife *My Zippo - it has extra flint inside the case and I repacked it with more absorbent cotton so it lives for about three weeks *The reel of steel wire on my desk, there's nothing it can't do My creature comfort would either have to be a carton of marlboro reds or a one of my female friends if those two couldn't be had a very large bottle of vodka to simulate them will do.

My favorite knife As much fishing line as possible My watch (a lens for a fire, and has compass:) I carry these things on my person anyway (I have fishing line under the insole on all my shoes), so I wouldn't have to worry if i did in fact get lost in the Wildy (unless I was in Runescape of, curse, I might get Pk'ed, or a dragon might attack.... nasty way to go:( Creature comfort: a friend, male or female (female preferred:)

Magnesium fire starter block for starting a fire. A sheath knife with at least a 7 inch Carbon Steel blade. Nice size for chopping, cleaning game and sitting around whittling. I can sharpen it on a rock when it gets dull. A 2 quart pot for boiling water and cooking stuff. For comfort a rain poncho. I can wear it for warmth, or if its raining. I can make a shelter out of it, a raft, a hammock, or stuff it with leaves and pine boughs and use it as a mattress. I could be pretty comfy for a month with these items. Now for my outrageous list..... A hot blond... A hot brunette... A hot redhead... And for comfort....A full keg of ice cold beer... With my luck though I'd wind up with 3 Ice cold women and a boiling hot keg of skunked beer.... ;o)

-My knife (the sheath holds a sharpener, and has holes for string, it is full tang, with a base that can be used as a hammer. Also, it has holes in the blade guard thing for strapping it to a stick to make a spear. It also has a serrated top for cutting wood, I believe.)

-Windproof butane lighter -or- a button-start propane torch (if that is not considered cheating)

-bow, any type, as I could make arrows for it using my knife, finding feathers from birds I killed with my spear/knife, and blades from glass bottles I'd find along the trail.

Comfort? Depends. I'd pick a human if they were capable, and knew survival stuff too, preferably a female, although it would probably be easier with male. (they would have strength on their side, and probably wouldn't complain ;D)
Considering that, I would pick a dog, or a shelter that I "found"

---

In short:
-knife
-lighter/torch (see above)
-bow

Comfort: Human, dog, or shelter (see above)

a telephone gps sword and........Survivorman (i still think id die in under 1 day)

my coustom engraved leatherman. lighter bazooka (yeah thats right a frickin bazooka) i would use my knife to make things. lighter to make fire. and my BAZOOKA. well i think i would go duck hunting with that. (food). maybe a little over kill but it gets the job done. plus i am sure it would cook it too. *pictures a duck blown into peices*

not crapping on anyone....... but why does everyone say a lighter or matches?...... I mean if its only gonna be a few days thats good to have but if your stuck for a long time your lighter is gonna crap out on you eventually........probably won't have it that long if it gets damp at night ........ matches....... if it rains your screwed. its not that hard to make fire......... and when your stuck..... even if you don't know how..... you'll figure it out within the first couple days......... you could use that spot for something more useful for extended periods

Hmmm.... time to pinch ideas My Leatherman, A magnesium fire-starter, Waterbottle with a decent filet, And my luxury item - a decent book of survival techniques.

a calendar to eat the dates a bed to use the springs to get water oh yea, a lighter Hehe

Probably..... my leatherman a camera (not digital w/ detachable lens a coffee can Comfort? My best friend. How'd I survive?! Use the camera lens to light a fire (woot! fires!) pot is for getting water/cooking, but could also be used for a hat, leatherman for making things (mostly for my best friend) and......... my best friend to take nice walks and pictures with!

A leatherman A space blanket 50 feet of fishing line or parachute cord Creature comfort - a change of socks.

Not sure about the whole survival thing, but I'd bring my copy of GEB:EGB as comfort -- great book -- AMAZING book!

An ax or hatchet of some sort, preferably not that heavy because I'm a weakling. A heavy wool blanket - one of those cheap emergency ones you carry in your car. A box of matches. And creature comfort: I'd say a book. Maybe a dictionary or encylopedia. Anything else wouldn't last me very long, and I don't see myself packing the collected works of J.K. Rowling or Philip Pullman around with me. :P Or I could finish The Ancestor's Tale, haha.

Hatchet. Flashlight Backpack. Comfort? Hmm... A hand puppet.

A good double-bit ax (one side ax sharp, the other knife/razer sharp). A sharpening stone, multi-grit. A largish water jug-about a gallon. Creature comfort would be a blanket-does that count? Pets have to be fed and watched, not something I'd want in a survival situation : ) Much easier (for me) to start a fire with friction than flint, and a knife is to easy to break or to small for some jobs like digging or chopping. The large water bottle is so that I don't have to keep finding or going back for water.

I'd bring: gun bullets a wicked laser, or a bunch of waterproof matches, or a lighter I don't need a bottle of water (inless I'm in a desert, my supplies are for like a forest) because if I were just to use a big leaf, I could put river water in that and boil it in the leaf, wait for it to cool, and drink

. Depends. . If it's a lost-in-the-woods, will-be-rescued-in-a-few-days type of survival I'd want a signaling device (mirror, large cloth), something to keep me warm at night, and something to start a fire with. . If it's a end-of-the-world-as-we-know-it catastrophe, then a gun, ammo, and a hand-cranked CB radio.

Definitely my Barlow pocket knife (had it since I was about 12, and even though it is over 38 years old, it holds an edge like no other)

The "water bottle" I would want would have to have a filter that could be rinsed out,

let's see.....I would hope there would be hard rocks, ie flints on the ground, so don't need that nor the matches.....hmmm I think I will choose a decently made hatchet as my third thing.

You mention "pets" as a creature comfort......does that include a Pet, as in the slang meaning in Britain ? :-)

Really, the only thing that would comfort me, is "more than one item" and that is my library of books. *sigh*

Can of petrol.. Lighter.. Red piece of cloth.. I'd write "HELP ME!" in large petrol letters... Then set on fire with the lighter.... Start running! and signal to the fire spotting heli's/plane's with the red cloth as they pass over.... And get me the hell outta there... Before the fire spread too much... Comfort.... Maybe, some aloe gel for the burns i'd surely recieve in the process...:)

a multitool a sharp hatchet toilet paper comfort.... a solar powered stereo.....like for tunes..... loaded with MP3's or that will pick up a good rock station

A windproof lighter A powerful slingshot A filtering water bottle Basically I would hunt down some wildlife with a slingshot and I'd use rocks as the projectile, make a fire, and cook it. As for the compfort, I'd bring..hmmmm....A book... perhaps a book about survival.

Let's see... Large box of dental floss (very strong stuff) My nonexistent Instructables Juice (or any good multitool) Magnesium fire starter Creature comfort: Possibly my cat, who I do actually like when he's not busy chewing on my arm...Or maybe my nonexistent Sony ebook thing with my custom solar panel back, stocked with books...Just how long m I stuck out here for?

a good knife, a compass. wire for tying or a snare

haha cool! ok so ummm lets see.... i will bring a....... Knife waterproof matches and water jug and since i dont have any pets my.......... ps2 LOL JK ummm probably a picture of my friends and family
