Outdoor Survival Kits

If something happens in the outdoors, what are some things that you NEED to survive, fix minor injuries, and get found?

A compass, a small film container that has a fish hook, some line and matches inside it(waterproof), small basic first aid kit, a small pocket knife, a small mirror, a whistle, some bottled water, a flashlight, some power bars(snack bars), small box of raisins, small emergency blanket, small rain poncho, some small rope if you have room for it.

Even better to add, if you purchase one, is to get a combo handcrank flashlight/radio. Some people even put a small multi-tool in their kits like a Leatherman tool and an emergency candle, a roll of Duct Tape, a sewing needle and some thread are good too!

All of this can fit in a small day pack or backpack, easily!

PLEASE READ: Shown are the various items essential to last ditch outdoor survival. Description and uses of items. I#39;ve been getting some ...

What is a good website that can teach me how to assemble an outdoor survival kit and teach me how to use the stuff in it???

The first reference is for links. Getting along in the wild on few and basic tools is a fun hobby. The ultimate survival tool these days, though, is enough clothing/insulation to keep from dying of exposure in the local environment coupled with a personal EPIRB

A Kit that could really save your live
Designed by Doug Ritter Executive Director of the Equipped to Survive Foundation
Contains a collection of survival tools for when you find yourself abandoned or lost in the outdoors

I've been camping and doing alot of outdoor stuff so no nead to worry. I'm testing/ showing how to use one of the survival kits I've been making for my family and friends over the years and thaught it would be best just to film me staying by my self in the outdoors for a few days/ nights. Just wondering if you have any tips or pointers?

I'll be doing this in the middle of kansas.

"You should keep enough supplies in your home to meet the needs of you and your family for at least three days. Build an emergency supply kit to take with you in an evacuation. The basics to stock in your portable kit include: water, food, battery-powered radio and flashlight with extra batteries, first aid supplies, change of clothing, blanket or sleeping bag, wrench or pliers, whistle, dust mask, plastic sheeting and duct tape, trash bags, map, a manual can opener for canned food and special items for infants, elderly, the sick or people with disabilities. Keep these items in an easy to carry container such as a covered trash container, a large backpack, or a duffle bag."

Ok I just started a game- like my plane crashed and I'm the only one alive. I have 1 cloth bag with a first aid kit, pen, notebook, and a first-aid tips book. i also have a long rope, jumprope,1 bowl, a waterbottle, a bowl, and a bucket. I am playing in my backyard. I have a big tree. I have a swing-set but I don't think I should use it. i have a little sand-box and castle I also don't think I should use. I get a flashlight inside when its dark? Any tips on like what I could use to do what? It's boring just sitting their. I need ideas of what to use things for. Like (EXAMPLE) maybe I could use the rope as a rope swing. And I could get some things from inside but not like a bed or so much stuff it takes 2 hours to clean-up. Please tell me ideas. Thanks, LOVE Nicole!
ONLY NICE COMMENTS!

In real life, your priorities are...
- Shelter- where can you go to be safe from insects, animals, and the weather- but still be seen by rescuers?

- Water- you need water to survive. What are you doing for it? You have plenty of storage things, where is the water coming from and how are you making possibly unsafe water safe? (Boiling would be the most common answer.)

- Food- not a high priority in the short term, but it can be a morale booster anytime. Even something like making tea can help!

- Fire- this is a key survival skill. Learning how to make a fire under a wide variety of conditions with an assortment of tools is very helpful.



Some skills you can work on would include (assuming you are old enough, or that they are safe to practice for you):
- Fire-making. Try using some fluffed cotton from your first aid kit, the batteries from your flashlight, and some steel wool, OR a small lighter you had in the first aid kit to sterilize things with.
- Catching bugs. Shine your light on a sheet and see what gathers. Learn what bugs are what and which can be eaten and how.
- Making a shelter. Learn how to make a lean-to, teepee-like structure, etc.
- Make a bed, chair, or other furniture. Learn to lash sticks together to make simple structures.
- Learn which plants in your neighborhood are safe to eat. If you have access to a place where you have permission and know the plants are not exposed to chemical sprays or fertilizers, you might even try gathering and preparing them!

Grab yourself a copy of a good survival and outdoor activities book. The Boy Scout Field Book is OK, but the Boy's Handy Book is my favorite for this.
