Great video! I really enjoyed the thought experiment as to what you would take. My 5 items would be, extra pair of clothing, extra boots, a hand saw, knife, and rope. I think with a saw I could cut down small trees and use the knife to make a crude spear, also you could make a makeshift shelter with the small trees with the rope that I would bring along as well as in the long run make a small log cabin. Having spare clothing and boots would be something that would come in handy as well if the ones I am wearing get too worn out before I learn how to make some crude clothes in the wilderness.
I actually know Melody in real life, and she could totally survive with her items. It occurred to me some years ago, that living in the Midwest as I do, 170 years ago, this was the frontier. I pretty much live in a wilderness area anyway, and recommend that anyone going out into the wild (or even on a known trail) take the Ten Essentials with them. At least a couple of people have died recently from being unprepared for the conditions they found themselves in.
