Survival Gear You Must Always Have

By Tammie Caldwell


Every individual have different fantasies when it comes to planning their travels. There are surely different places that they want to go into once they have the chance to. Others want to be do relaxing events while some prefer to experience the thrill. Those who go after adventures are always reminded to be cautious. Adventure is often accompanied by danger and the thrill of being near it.

If you decide that you want to take a hike in the wilderness or go camping. There are several things that you have to take for you to be prepared whatever happens. And if you decide that you will not take a guide, you really have to come prepared. Aside from the essentials, you also need your survival gear especially if it is a longer trip.

You must not forget to pack the things that are listed below. To make sure that they do not occupy that much space, try to go for the smaller variants. This is to guarantee that even if you do not go with your group you can still be safe. And if there is imminent danger, you can still protect yourself without the help of others.

Number one on the list is a trusted knife and a rope as well. Knives are going to be used for cutting various things. This can also be your last line of defense when you are at risk. It would even be better if you will bring a back up knife. The type that can be folded and can be placed in smaller spaces is the perfect knife for back up. You have to be certain that both these items are durable and of high quality. If you are not on trip, you have to maintain and clean it well.

Of course food and water are essentials. Bring something that is easy to cook and would not spoil. And if you can, try to squeeze a budget for the days you will be away. Water on the other hand really needs to be stocked up. There is no guarantee that you will find clean water around the camping area unlike food.

Aside from something to eat and to drink you will also be needing a safe place that you can shelter. You have to make use of tents that can be folded into smaller pieces. It would even be better if you can bring one that you can bring one that can only accommodate one person.

You should also not forget about your first aid kit. You might be injured along the way or you might suddenly feel sick so you need to bring the necessary medications. And for the first aid kit to still be effective, the container must not get wet with water and it should be durable enough so that the things inside would not get damaged.

There are people who want to work alone. And they also want to travel alone. You might travel with others but if you decide to be alone, you need to make use of a signaling device. Through this, you can call for them when you need help or you are in danger.

One of the ways to survive in the wild is to make sure that you are warm. And because it is always cold out at night, you need to be positive that you are bringing warmer clothes. And you will be needing something that you can use to start fire with.
