Awesome list
ReplyDeleteGreat list cody short and sweet and to the point
ReplyDeleteI always pack two compasses. In northern MN we have pockets of iron ore which can throw a compass off. By using two you can get confirmation if they are pointing in the same direction. Also gives you confidence that you are not going in circles (psychological benefit).
ReplyDeleteThis is one of the most informative and knowledgeable articles I've ever read. I'd like to appreciate your efforts especially the way you've explained everything along with video tutorials. I'm one of those people who are extremely cautious of any catastrophic event and would do anything to save lives. I already have bug out bags for fires, tornadoes and earthquakes and I'm thinking of maintaining a survival kit for myself now. I came across your blog today and I'm thankful you've helped me a lot in what I need to keep in it.
ReplyDeleteI think this idea of a survival kit is really cool and unique!! Most people would find it weird but I guess I'm a safety freak and I already have a couple of emergency survival kits and I was surfing the internet for some cool ideas to maintain them. My dad gave me a really nice bug out bag for my birthday and I was thinking of making an identical one myself. After reading your blog I think I should make this one too.
ReplyDeleteI must say that you have mentioned the good points pertaining to the home emergency survival kits. However, if you still don't know where to locate the appropriate first aid kits then you can check out the internet as there are a lot of reliable name out there. Thanks!!
ReplyDeleteThat is a lot of fire starting options for an expert. I watched him try ing to run bare footed in Africa. (Super slow and ineffective), while I was in Cambodia.
ReplyDeleteInteresting! Thanks for sharing great list about Basic Survival Kit.This is really useful and helpful.Great post!
ReplyDeleteTo improve this list, IMO
ReplyDelete12 should read Fire Starter Accelerant (= a substance used to aid the spread of fire)
21 should read Bandana ....
23 should read Topographical Map of the area and Compass
