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.

There are several things that you should not forget to bring. These are the essentials and when you start packing, these are the ones that you should not forget to bring with you. If you have this, even if you get lost or separated from the group, you will never be in danger. And if you do face danger, you will have the chance to escape or get out of it.

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.

First aid kit is a must. You might feel pains while you are walking or traveling. Aside from that, you might get unexpected cuts. You have to be ready for this. And you need to be certain that the container is water resistant and that it would be durable enough to withstand the whole journey.

There will be times when you have to separate from the others. If you are the kind of person who do not want to be detained by the restrictions of others and yet you still want to be safe, it would be good to take a signaling equipment with you. Through this, you can easily tell them where you are.

During night time, it would be too cold and this would not be good for the body. You have to bring warm clothing including the beanie and you have to bring something that will help you start the fire. Through this, you can keep yourself and the others warm.
