Gear list::: Please critique!!!!!!!!!!

[lunchbx]

1. Knife
2. Teeny weeny hiking shorts
3. Extremely dirty synthetic tee
4. 1 liter canteen

This is it. I plan to kill/gather what I eat, sleep in piles of duff, and go barefoot on the trail. Im starting @ springer on march 10th. Do you think this is a sustainable gear setup?

[Old Hiker]

1. No sheath for the knife: leather or cordura? Whetstone attached or not? Thigh tie-down?
2. Uhhhhh.........ewwwwww.
3. Dirty with what? Trail dirt OK, stains from the AYCE chinese buffet, not so good.
3. No top - screw on? Cork? Keep upright at all times? Canvas holder? Web belt to carry?

Good start. Still need to know NOBO or SOBO.

Wash the shirt and get rid of the funk...save .01 ounce. Other than that, your list looks good. Are you bringing a dog? How about a gun?

[lunchbx]

no gun, no dog, no sheath to the knife i will duct tape it to the side of my canteen which i will purhase already having a web strap to attach to my waist and most likely a screw on cap as far as washing the shirt and shorts they will be my only clothes so i wont be taking them off at laundrymats in trail towns, and my budget is 10 bucks so i wont be wasting money going to trail towns at all neway. I know teeny weeny hiking shorts are gross but i'll only be wearing them as payback to all the "gentlemen" i've been forced to look at wearing them in the past. seriously though what are those people thinking, do they think they look good in those shorts that are basically nylon loin cloths?

Drop the 1 liter canteen, you can pick up a dirty bottle at a road crossing.

[YohonPetro]

Add cheese, I hear it lasts between 1 hour and forever while on the Trail.

[Spokes]

Save even more weight- wear a loincloth made out of a ShamWow!

[Scratch]

Cut the sleeves off your tee. Not only does it save weight but it's aerodynamic.

What kind of a knife are we talking about here?

[Sierra Echo]

You forgot your neon orange poop trowel!

Heck, just wear that as a loincloth. Tie it on with some paracord. Great idea Sierra Echo!

The poop trowel as a loincloth will also double as protection from brush slapping back from any hikers in front of you!

OP - What are you bringing to update your social media sites? I suggest an iPad and a solar charger, which can double as a back to your codpiece.

[EastCoastFeastCoast]

1. Just get an Izula or something and wrap the handle with zing-it.
2. No need for shorts, just grow out all that manly hair and it will cover things up. If you feel squeamish, just get some big leaves off the ground.
3. Make sure the shirt has UV protection- you don't want the C-word, and sunscreen is heavy.
4. I would switch to a Cuben Fiber Canteen, save weight and space. (A large CF bag with a cinch cord top, get a McDonald's straw)

Don't forget the paracord for messkit, however I prefer zing-it.
Also don't forget earplugs.
SPOT locator as well.

AND the orange would alert hunters that he is in the vicinity!

I thought hunters usually went for the trophies; that is, the LARGER animals.
