Like the title says what would be an ideal and practical set up to go out with based on frontiersmen and colonial rangers. Think Daniel Boone, Sam Brady, Lewis Wetzel and Simon Kenton. I was thinking a classic flintlock rifle of a Kentucky or Pennsylvania style, a small scalping knife, tomahawk, buckskin and a wool blanket. What modern accoutrements would /k/ bring along I was thinking a modern hand gun maybe 9mm or 45 just in case along with a modern fire-starting kit and maybe a modern pot to boil water.

>>64756470All make sense but what modern kit pieces do you think would be beneficial. I want too cut down on weight so maybe using modern alternatives to avoid a heavy load.
