Will Bear Grylls Fit Into My Pocket?

The anvil that is FastDraft has lifted and it's long past time for fun around The Vortex. After much contemplation about the nature of such fun, and after a rather lengthy time-suck game of "I'm going on a trip and I'm bringing..." game at the dentist today, and after a particular rousing two-part MacGyver rerun where he entrusts his pocket knife to Merlin, of Knights of the Roundtable fame, it occurred to me such a thing has yet to be attempted here. True, the game loses the memory-challenge aspect in blog form, but we can more than make up for that in creativity, right? I'll start:

I'm going back in time and I'm bringing a SwissFlame800

...because my Girl Scout training neither perfected my ability to use a flint or a glass lens to start a fire nor did it help me channel my inner heroine like this beaut.

As an aside, there is a blog devoted to MacGyver. Who knew entire posts could be devoted to the love of duct tape? Must. Not. Read. Song. Lyrics. Creeeepy.

Who's next?
I'm going back in time and I'm bringing...

I can see why you make up games before going to the dentist.

What would I take with me? Probably a medicine bottle full of penicillin or at the least, tylenol. Perhaps a sewing kit just in case stitches were needed.

I'm with Barbara - I'd want to take medicine. Some good toiletries wouldn't be amiss either, considering what they used to use to brush their teeth.
