For Winter I usually just carry a firesteel and tinder, as long as I am warm and have water, my excess body weight would keep me alive until spring....lol

Campfires are best shared with friends.

The world is big and I want to have a good look at it before it gets dark.

My EDC consists of a Leatherman skeletool in a belt sheath which also contains plasters, a firesteel, a razor blade, some tinder and a match wrapped in duct tape. Oh and my paracord bracelet with a whistle buckle.
One use for the Leatherman wire cutters would be cutting my dog free from a wire fence after he got his head stuck!
I think survival tins are great fun and i always like to see how much stuff can be packed into a baccy tin Mines in my rucksack and gets opened and used on a regular basis. The knife in mine is a Spyderco Grasshopper. Cracking little knife thats razor sharp
In nature there are no rewards or punishments: there are consequences.
Victory awaits the one, that has everything in order - luck we call it
Defeat is an absolute consequense for the one that have neglected to do the necessary preparations - bad luck we call it
