A big 200 ACE, you can flip flap jacks with it, skin with it, shave with it, and is easy to sharpen.

Ace....but in a survival situation I would always be looking for things to make more broadheads. Steel strapping, etc. Heck, I know a guy who makes a pretty serviceable head by hammering out a spoon.

Have to agree with John, 160 or 190 grain Ribtek.  I have never damaged one.

Bear Razorheads they have lasted for this long they would be great in a survival situation , you could sharpen them on a rock if you had to, and use two or four blade.

Good question Pat.  My favorite broadhead would not be my choice for survival.

Grizzly Instinct three-blade. They are strong enough to use and re-use many times. They are also easy to get shaving sharp.

I guess it 's how you would interpret the question, if I had nothing else but a broadhead, no knife, no Bow it would be the ACE 200, if I had other equipment it would still be the ACE 200.

I've been a avoiding the question because I really don't think I have a good answer.  Of the broadheads I shoot I'd guess the Magnus Stinger would hold up as well as any. Solid two blade 150 with no bleeder.

Do I only get one package of them?
Or just lifetime supply of one type/brand?

Answer would be different depending on arrow choice or availability too.

Wood arrows….anything from Zwicky, Ace or old school Magnus.

Carbon…Bearpaw Jagers (I love stingers and killed lots of stuff with them but these have better metal than stingers), IronWills (impressed so far) original German Kinetics (newer ones have…issues…at least based on super premium price point)

I agree with that, my favorite is the big Snuffer, but for survival as stated above my pick would be the single bevel Cutthroat which I use enough to be comfortable with that choice.
