Notes for Survival in the Wilderness


      2. Emergency Kit


      Waterproof, unsinkable, rip resistant.
      A self-contained striker, tinder,

      a coil of light strong wire.
      Nerve like a porcupine.

      And spare compass.
      Angels in an abundant number.

      A solitude
      square with the world.
