a backsaw, a chisel, and a rasp

 

[Mike1950]

block plane, 3/8 chisel and dovetail saw

 

[manbuckwal]

Both hands and a hammer

 

[woodtickgreg]

My leatherman, my 9mm browning, and my diawa compact fishing pole.
If I could only have 3 tools the world has gone to shite and these would help me to survive.

I think I'd be screwed, I'm not much of a hand tool guy. Tony

 

[Lou Currier]

A big bag so I could take everybody else's hand tools.

 

[Brink]

A file, a hammer, and a chisel.

Then I could build all the tools I want

 

[Blueglass]

Ryoba, block plane, 1/2" chisel?

My leatherman, my 9mm browning, and my diawa compact fishing pole.

Along the same line of thinking: A Leatherman, a gun and a hatchet.
If I can have one more I'd be willing to try out the Binford 9 million multi tool.

Chainsaw, sawmill, bandsaw. I use my hands to operate them so I guess they qualify.

[NYWoodturner]

A hammer, a file and a saw.

 

[deltatango]

A great knife, a great sharpening stone, a great light weight axe like a steel shaft Estwing.
Think I could get by on those for a while.
