Where ARE you? To be a survivor and not a statistic, (you can’t depend on luck) you will need a survival kit. A kit should not be too heavy and bulky. Limit it to the essentials. Develop a habit of taking it with you every time you head out into the field. Knowing how to use the equipment is as important as having it. Survival kits should be based on personal needs, terrain and climate. Some contents are universal. Here are our recommendations based on many years of experience as a hunters and outdoor recreationalists. MATCHES, LIGHTER & FIRE STARTER We suggest both a lighter and matches coupled with solid fire starer. Being able to start a fire can be the difference between life or death. HEADLAMP with extra batteries & bulb. Good headlamps free hands and light the path. Check the batteries before each outing. MULTI TOOL Buy a quality 4-5 inch with a nylon case. Poor quality multi tools are not worth their weight and many times can promote injury. Nylon sheaths are preferred to leather – they have proven to be lighter and durable. MAPS – waterproof or a GPS (learn to use the GPS!) SPACE BLANKET is essential. Both water proof and wind proof, a space blanket is lightweight and does not take up much room. They serve many purposes: shelter, ground cloth, heat reflector and signaling. They can also work as a rain poncho. LARGE HEAVY DUTY GARBAGE BAGS Carry 3-4 heavy 3 mil thickness lawn or leaf bags. There are many uses: rain poncho, wind blocks, ground cloths and more. STAINLESS STEEL CUP 12 oz plus- essential for drinking and it enables you to heat water and cook food in a pinch. WATER PURIFICATION FILTER straw or tablets. Clean water is essential. Carry 1 or 2 water bottles. WIRE SAW - compact, lightweight and inexpensive. The saw will make quick work of building shelter or cutting firewood. Many can cut wood, metal, plastic and bone. PARACHUTE CORD - used to build shelter, tying splints and hundreds of other uses. 50 ft should be lots. (learn to tie several strong knots.) FOOD Energy bars, freeze dried meals, trail mix, instant soup, hard candy. WHISTLE & MIRROR Whistles can attract help, frighten animals. Mirrors can be used to signal for help, help to access facial cuts or eye injuries. FIRST AID KIT It’s important to get a good quality first aid kit. Add your medications and keep it updated. If you use up something, replace it. TOILET PAPER has many uses besides the obvious. Tinder, equipment cleaning or a quick wound dressing. SUN GLASSES Snow or sun blindness can add grief to a survival situation. CELL PHONE/ SPOT DEVICE Cell phones can be very useful if you’re lost in an area of reception. The Spot device works in all areas. LIGHTWEIGHT SOLAR CHARGER for batteries, cell phone or spot device. ALUMINUM FOIL, Heavy duty great for cooking, or as a heat reflector. It can be used to drink with or eat from. In a pinch it will work as a signaling device. MONOFILAMENT FISHING LINE Use it as thread to repair shelter or clothing, make a snare or as a drying rack. PAPER COFFEE FILTERS can filter drinking water, used as a fire starter, even a wound dressing. The kit will probably weigh about 3 pounds. There are many great options to add or substitute to this list. This is meant to be a guide. The important thing is to have the kit with you while you enjoy our fantastic Kootenay playground. Have fun, play hard and be safe. Always remember to tell someone when and where you’re going! Jim Philipzyk, Obsessed Optics Personalize your survival kit. Don’t forget your medications!
