How to Make an Awesome Survival Kit

How to Make an Awesome Survival Kit 2

You’re on a winter adventure when suddenly a snow blizzard?️ comes in. The only thing you can do is make a shelter and spend the night. Luckily you had your survival kit. Your survival kit should have at least the basics fire?, water, food?, and a knife. You don’t have to put all of these in your survival kit. This is what I put in mine:

Gear

  • A Swiss army knife–  Great sturdy knifes with lots of functions and a good price at about $20.
  • A beeswax candle–  On the expensive side, but burn a while and don’t pollute the air.
  •  A tactical flashlight–  These are bright flashlights with a durable casing.
  • A camp towel–  These light small towels are very durable.
  • A first aid kit– Get one that’s small and light.
  • 1 box of  Waterproof Matches– When you need to make a fire these can be very helpful and they’re inexpensive.
  • 2 large canteens of water– When you’re in the wilderness you need lots of water.
  • A survival blanket– If you’re in the arctic these could come in very handy.
  • A metal match– These are strikers that you can use a knife to spark a fire.
  • Sawyer water filter– When you need water this small light filter can be very useful.
  • MREs (meals ready to eat)- These meals are packed with calories.
  • Glow sticks– You can get these at most party stores and amazon.
  • Sewing kit– It doesn’t matter if you’re a girl or not, sewing is a very useful skill.
  • Heavy duty trash bag– This can be used for an emergency shelter or even a poncho.
  • Stainless steel cooking set– You should have something to cook with.
  • Stainless steel eating utensils– Having utensils never hurts.
  • Stainless steel cup– To drink water with.
  • Medical grade super glue– This can be used to glue a cut.
  • Fishing kit-Fish can have a lot of calories which is what you need if your in a survival situation.
  • 100 feet of 550 paracord– Like the name, this cord can hold 550 pounds.
  • Poncho– If you don’t have a rain jacket you might need one.
  • Extra pair of clothes– consider weather conditions.
  • Trip wire– This is manly for snares but does have other uses.
  • Tooth brush– Don’t want to get cavities.
  • Tooth paste– What good is a toothbrush if you don’t have toothpaste?
  • Granola bars– These high calorie bars are inexpensive and are available at most grocery stores and amazon.
  • Backpack– To put every thing in.
  • Head lamp– It never hurts to have extra light
  • Hand sanitizer– This you can use to start a fire.
  • Sling shot– You could use it for hunting.

Well, that’s what I put in my survival kit. Questions, suggestions or comments? Feel free to post them in the comment section right below this post. Until next post, Adventurer Tony over and out.?
