Objects of Survival (DP#179)

  • Ax
  • Utility Knife
  • Some sort of pot to boil water and cook food

I am taking a more survivalist approach to this prompt as we have been doing some research in living out in the woods.

The ax and knife could be used to create our own weapons and tools, while being excellent tools and weapons themselves lol You are going to need something to hunt and/or fish with, making some sort of twine would be necessary for a lean to or other structure. You could even get some knives that come with strikers on them for fires so you can purify water and cook your raw food in your pot.

Basically, other than those physical things, knowledge is the most important tool in your arsenal for survival. Knowing what plants and animals are in the area is crucial. Understanding the medicinal properties of the flora can save you by giving you access to natural repellents, antibiotics, ointments and creams, etc. Obviously knowing what animals you are around and how to effectively and efficiently process them is critical as well!

About Me

Hello! I am Ashley and I simply love to read, and hope you do to!
I am currently 28 years old and living in the state of Texas, USA.

My favorite genres to read and review include romance, fantasy, mystery, and many subgenres of those as long as it is clean. I mainly get my books from my Kindle Unlimited membership, but I also found myself checking out library books on Libby as well.

As you can see, I do not solely post book reviews, I also love posting daily prompt writing, as well as stuff that is going on in my life currently. That being said, my passion is reading and reviewing books to my heart’s content, so hopefully that is something you are also interested in.

I do have a Goodreads where you can follow if you desire (no pressure!) I also have a StoryGraph, of which you can follow me here.
