Imagine you are facing blizzard storms for six months, and then for the next six months you are facing hot humid heat. What type of gear would you bring along? What axe would you pick? what style of back pack would you pick, and what make and model? What weapon would you bring along? what type of pants would you pack, and how many? what type of bdu would you pack, and how many? keeping in mind every day you are traveling between fiffteen to 20 miles a day. your only soruce of food when it gets blizzardy is wild animals, and maybe some fish. what type of knife would you pack? what style of boots would you pack? what type of thermal underwear would you wear? what would be the ultimate set up for such an occasion. keeping in mind you have enough money to cover everything. would you have a bow, or a rifle- or what? for six months your in a rain-forest atmosphere, and the next six months your surviving negative five degree tempature. what would your gear list be? Keeping in mind you have to deal with wild animals in both the negative degree weather, and then in the rain forest scenario. The biggest animals would bears, and maybe even tigers. again list what you would pack no opinions please. I have been doing research on this, and so far I can’t get any good lists going. Your chance of being eaten by a bear is 1:1,000,000. There are only about 5,000 tigers on the planet, so you are not likely to encounter one in any rainforest. You are most likely going to die within a few days of hypothermia or hyperthermia. Most survival stories end after about three days. After that, rescue parties are searching for corpse recovery.

Pack a shotgun. You will be able to kill yourself easier that way. You are not going to survive. You are not going to be able to sustain fifteen to twenty miles a day under those conditions in either arctic or rainforest conditions if you mean that you will be backpacking.

that is a serious question. There’s no way your expecting a full answer. But here’s a few things;

Just wondering… where the heck are you planning on going? The only place that I know of that you’ll encounter bears and tigers in the same area is the Zoo. Are you planning on staying in the polar bear exhibit for 6 months then pack on over to the tiger cage? Well make sure you get all your gear before December 21, 2012 because I heard a rumor the world is ending for sure that day. Well, Good Luck!

If i thought that this was a serious question, i would take the time to give you a serious answer next time, dream up something realistic

I suggest you continue your research on this very important question by getting off your butt and trying to carry a backpack 15 to 20 miles, day after day. Even in the best conditions not an easy task and you are planning to carry an axe, rifle, knife. You must plan on spending a lot of time wandering around in circles, if you travel 20 miles a day for six months, that’s 3,600 miles. Not real sure where you can travel that far and stay within the same environment or even on the same continent. Short answer: I would use the same combination of gear that I use now for those environments. Cold weather, sub-zero bag by Marmot, tent with alcove, bathtub floor and rain fly that extends all the way to the ground. Warm weather, a customized down blanket made by Therm-O-Rest, a custom made tarp with velcro on screen doors. By carrying the tarp instead of a tent I have a much larger enclosure when the screen doors are added on allowing me to cook inside during mosquito season. Truthful answer: I agree with Mt. Man. If you do actually go into the back country it will be a short trip. What do you plan to do with an axe, build a cabin every night after hiking all day and before leaving in the morning. When/What do you plan to hunt in -5 degrees, most animals have good sense and are not available during the conditions.

The reason you can’t "get any good lists going" is because it is a ludicrous scenario. You obviously know very little about conditions and survival strategies in either of the environments that you have described, and evidently have little or no experience with wilderness travel and campcraft. If you are doing this "research" because you are writing a fantasy story, my advice is they same as they tell all writers: write about what you already know.
