My answer was pretty similar to T.A's, but I took the inner tube rather than the clock on the basis that they burn quickly and easily however wet they are (I tend to carry some bits of my old inner tube for lighting hexamine on exercise).
I have to agree on 'outdoorsy skills,' I'll never claim to be any kind of woodsman but I know the British countryside quite well and spend as much time as I can in it. I know it's not the same as the wilds across the pond
but still, it's mine and I like it
. It was an odd feeling of being out of ones depth though when I was on the prarie in Canada, the same in the rockies.
