3" elbow adze, detail knife, bent knife. A massive block of yellow cedar would be nice.

Music? Pfui! All the music I need is the wind in the trees and the waves on the shore. I'd rather make room for another tool.

Good question and an obvious answer: an axe, and adz and a saw, a good supply of Cedar and a CD/DVD of how to navigate! I'm building a boat to get me out of here!!!! I'll use local rock to sharpen and hone.

Still think I'd want a small axe, my three blade pocket knife and a bow saw. With these I can gather my own wood.

I'll listen to the wind and waves, too!
