What is the survival kit of essentials they would be needed if you were going to the Arctic?

Answer 1

Basic: windproof outdoorsman butane lighter (or any butane lighter) for fire starting, compass (but may not work well if too near the poles), and knife (half serated can be best) More specific to the Arctic: Wear as much heavy clothing as possible, magnifying glass (for more fire), snare wire for hunting, water bottle(s) for storing water, tiny fishing kit (yards of line wrapped around a small piece of cardboard, hooks, sinkers, use a stick for a rod), rain poncho, just a regular CD for signalling using shiny side, flashlight/battries
