Survival Kit, a quick how-to.

30. August 2009 by Scouter Jason.

A good woodsman always carries a good hunting knife, waterproof matches a compass and map and a small first aid kit for minor cuts and scrapes and this is usually enough for most excursions into the wilderness. However, anything can happen and a good Scout should be prepared with a good survival kit in case an emergency situation arises.

Suggested Items a basic kit should contain are:

Some Emergency food(boullion, sugar cubes energy bars etc)

Matches-waterproofed, compass, razor blades

25lb test fishing line-nylon

Fish hooks, spinners, weights and lures

2 to 4m of snare wire.

Adhesive tape(ducktape)

Small personal first aid kit(bandages, alcohol pads, gauze medical tape etc)

Pencil and paper, emergency blanket(space blanket)

2 large sheets of aluminium foil(for cooking and making utensils)

1 or 2 small mirrors for signalling

Halazone tablets for purifying water.

Whistle, compass, small jack or swiss army knife.

These all should be in a sealable container or fanny pack of some type and placed in your pack so its always there and never used unless its needed!
