Orange Trash Bag or Space Blanket- roof for shelter

Matches, lighter, magnesium,any other fire starter- fire

Rope or twine- to help with shelterbuilding

Fish Line and Fish Hooks-to get fish for food

Tin Can- boiling water

You will need a backpack or fanny pack with the typical survival items inside, including material to build a fire: matches that are water-proof, a lighter, or a kit with fire starting materials. A fire will warm you, let you call for aid, boil water that needs to be decontaminated, and for drinking and cooking.

 

Big lists that either must stay in one place, or else be carried by a group, or in a vehicle

Braided nylon rope (25 feet)
Mirror
Matches (2 boxes)
Fire Starter
Poncho (bright orange to attract attention)
Toilet paper
Candle (wrapped in aluminum foil)
Paper and pencil
Fishing line, hooks, split shot leads
Knife
Whistle
Money (2 nickels, 2 dimes, 2 quarters, $20 bill: helpful for making phone call or paying for gas if broken down along highway)
Garbage Bags (2 large size bags)
Bright orange surveyor's tape
Sewing kit
Dental floss (It's strong and useful as thread for sewing, or a fishing line or for lashing branches for improvised shelters.)
Safety pins
Wire (baling wire)

 

MRE's or Mountain House food

Along with fire, you have to build a shelter for protection. Shelter can be constructed from some trash bags, items in the wood, or a painter's tarp that is plastic. Lean-to shelters are good when constructed from some branches, sticks, trash bags, and tarp.

Another helpful thing to take with you is string. You can use it to bind branches and construct a shelter. A fishing pole can be made with string placed at a stick's end. Also, build a snare, and try to catch dinner. Jute or sisal is a tough, but light string that is cheap and readily available in hardware stores.

Also helpful, a multi-use tool or a knife. You can find sticks anywhere, but branches from Evergreen or Cedar trees are useful in constructing a shelter. Use a knife that is sharp to sharpen some sticks as support for your shelter or fishing.

Many pocket tools contain a knife blade. These are good, but a sharper, and lengthier blade is better in situations for survival. A single shaft steel knife, that is six inches will allow cutting of bigger pieces.Things like pliers, silverware and can openers also come with pocket tools.

Food and water are the next necessary things that are needed for survival.

 

Obtaining food in the wilderness is a seasonal affair. It is easier to find berries during spring, during summer months, nuts and fruits, but during the winter months, it is harder to find these. Unfamiliarity with what is edible could possibly leave you with food poisoning. Get yourself a information about plants like Sunshine Brewer's "Coast to Coast Survival Plants", to make sure you can pick out what is edible or medicinal.

 

Dried soup, bullion, oriental noodles and dried foods are lightweight and storable in plastic bags that resist water. These backpacking foods will help with survival. Stay healthy with the protein that you need can be obtained from dry meats like jerky. Peanut butter, easily storable and full of protein is also good.

If you want to stay warm, even when wet, wool is a good option. It is helpful to have wool socks, glos or mittens, in your pack to keep your hands and feet warm even in cold and wet weather. Make sure to check out the weather forecast before going into the wilderness so you can be properly prepared. Long-sleeved water-resistant jacket will let you pack and wear the best outerwear. Thermal underwear might also be worth it to wear.

If you plan well, you will be better able to deal with surprises.

A medical kit with non-prescription medicine for pain, fever, diarrhea, upset stomachs, and swelling i neccesary. Band-Aids, gauze, medical tape, antibiotic cream, and tweezers are needed to. Anti-itch cream, and antihistamines are useful if you are likely to react to bug bites. Also take some of your prescription medicine if needed.

Put your medicine kit in a water-resistant place because even a little bit of moisture will make your items unable to be used. It is not a bad idea to also include matches, a sewing needle, and thread too.

Make sure you are ready for the fact that anything could take place and block you from being back when you thought you would be. Always take a backpack with survival gear. Be prepared.

 

What things do hunters need to carry in their hunter's survival kit?

I keep my survival kit maintained and updated on a regular basis.

Hound hunts are the least safe for me to do. I wait for fresh snow, and then go to the uppermost altitude that I can get my car to, after, I hike on foot. These are night hunts.

I looked online, but could not find a reasonable list. Either there is too much to carry for one person, or not enough items contained to survive. None of the lists had toilet paper, and I don't go hunting without toilet paper.

Most Basic Level -- blanket, poncho, and a knife

 

Good Question -- What to carry might be based on personal choices.

I hunt in Colorado and Virginia, but not too far from populated areas. Because I am a doctor and used to be a military survival instructor, my kit is probably heavier than others.

Your best survival tool is your own head. The rest is optional.

In Mine:
Water and iodine tablets
Waterproof matches
Signal mirror
Whistle
Toilet paper
Space blanket
Technical Med Kit
Chemical socks and hand warmers
Army Parachute cord

Additional Items:
Snacks
GPS with extra additional batteries
Cell Phone
LED head lamp
Knife
Firearm
Hat

I like to use the Military Survical Manual as a reference. It is not a book that you can carry arround, but it is pretty useful and enjoyable reading. A great reference is FM 21-76. It is the military Survival manual. Not something you can pack when you're on foot, but it's a great reference and kind of fun to read. It has improved a lot since my first copy. I teach my son a few things out of the manual each time we go camping. He thinks we're just doing cool "outdoor" things.

Good first aid kits that are light and complete for the non-medical person are Adventure Medical Kits -- google them -- many variations to fit your needs.

#1...always...some way of making fire..... I have a magnesium bar with a flint striker. I also have a Zippo and a Bic lighter.

#2. A multi-purpose Victorex Swiss Army knife. Do not buy a cheap copy. The bigger the better. You never know what kind of tool you will need.

#3. Something that can be used as a tourniquet. If you have to ask then you should not be in the woods.

#4. A compass and a good set of maps for the area where I am going. Screw a GPS unit. That only tells you where you are and not what is between that and where you want to go. Also the batteries run out at the worst time.

t#5. A cell phone and/or 5 watt hand held Walkie talkie. It is much easier to call for help than to walk for it.

#6. A good first aid kit. 1-2 POUNDS of stuff.... Consider spending the extra money and get some HEMCON packs to stop serious bleeding.

Lastly, a damn good hand gun and ammo. Right now, I carry a Ruger Alaskan with 45 Colt in 1,2, 6, and 454 Casull in 3, 4, 5. The Colts are for dangerous primates and the Casulls are for unfriendly bears.

Survivor man is a pussy. All scripted situations. Camera crews if he gets into trouble. Survivor is a joke. Notice the candy wrappers. I did USAF survival training and boy did that deer taste good. (beat it to death with a stick!)

You can survive with out food and water for a couple of days, but if the weather is questionable then you cannot survive without shelter. I would pack an emergency blanket and tools to use in building a shelter.
I have a first aid kit, small axe, military shovel, blanket (in a ziplock bag) rain poncho, Swiss Army knofe and Leatherman

I mostly hunt in Wisconsin, Illinois, and South East Alaska.

I carry my survival gear in various places, around my neck, pockets and in a bag. But what's in the bag pretty much stays the same no matter where I am, I might remove or add different items depending on place.

If I am at a place where I can't see my car, I'll take these items:

Around my neck:
Compass
Whistle
Matches

On me or in pockets:
Toilet paper (also used to start a fire)
A Candle (simpler to hold than a lighter)
A Knife kit
A smallspace blanket
2 Lighters

Pack:
Rope
Water
GPS
A full-sized space blanket
Poncho
Food
Extra ammo

It seems heavy, but only weighs around ten pounds.

Mostly I hunt from treestands, miles or at least hundreds of yards away from people. If I happen to fall from the stand, I want to have the necessary items on me, just in case I break a limb.

Additional items:

Wire for snares
Water purifying tablets
A firestarter
Flint & Steel

In Alaska, I hunted on the islands. If it rained or looked like it would, I made sure to take a road flare, if I had to signal a boat from the shore. I also could use it to start a fire with wet wood.

Alaska has an exremely mountainous terrain, while Wisconsin and Illionois have a thick undergrowth, but the hills are smaller or flatter. I mainly hunt deer, nd have held on to everything all day without trouble. Drinking the water throughout the day lessens the weight.

I hunt in the day and return in the dark. A GPS and medical tape are absolutely necessary.

I use a small pack with large bladder that I keep in my GPS and batteries, food, coldpacks, shells, tape, camera, keys, bags, wetnaps, paper towels, and rope in without it feeling too heavy. The bag is designed to distribute the weight around your chest, waist, and houlders and things do not move around too much.

For food, I get chicken breasts in barbecue sauce packaged in foil from the local grocery store. If you can check out an Indian grocery store, you might be able to pick up more food in foil packages, the only downside for me is that it is mostly vegetarian.

its a matter of preference i prefer to keep it small a magnesium bar, knife, chocolate bar, and some 550 cord natures got the rest. but take what u prefer maybe a flashlight or a wire saw. if u go on-line us should be able to find a pilot or sas survival tin witch has all kinds of retarded things and its only as big as a sardine can (u can use the can for cooking 2) a map would also behoove u

We take:
Flashlight
Whistle
Compass
Silver tarp
Rain Ponchos
Insect repellent wipes
Candles
Waterproof matches
Fishing Line and hooks
Toilet paper

Most of the things are interchangeable so they can be used for a variety of things. You can always add or subtract, but when hiking, camping or canoeing (like we do) we ALWAYS carry this kit. It's lightweight and easy to carry. We usually double bag and put a tennis ball in just in case it goes over the side of the canoe. Then it floats!!

My Kit includes:

A multi-tool
Two self-made fire starters
AAA maglite and extra batteries
Sunscreen
Ibuprofin
Disposable lighter
Emergency Mylar Blanket
Super Glue
Duct Tape
Compass
Band-Aids
Excedrine
Whistle
Powerbar
Iodine Tablets
100& DEET (in summer)

If you pack it all the right way, it will fit into a one quart Nalgene bottle, but I store mine in a little nylon pouch.

I put toilet paper in a ziploc bag, but I do not think it's necessary for survival

I usually pack more than this based on where and when I'm going somewhere, but these are the basics. My survival kit can go from my day to multi day pack, and then my ski pack and my car.

PROTECTION DURING EARTHQUAKES

The following are some of the important precaution to be observed to save our life during an earthquake. Even though we do not have fool proof system to fore warn earthquakes some of the changes in nature or in the behaviors of animals and birds may help to decide the situations.

Before an earthquake.
Have a battery powered radio, flash light, and first aid kids in your house ,some dry friuts and water.
Make sure every one knows where they are kept ,
Learn first aid; teach how to stop electric main and gas supply ,
Don't keep heavy objects in high shelves ,
Fasten heavy appliances to the floor, and anchor heavy furniture to the walls ,
Plan for your family for reuniting after an earthquake if anybody separated ,
Urge your school teachers to discuss earthquake safety in the class rooms, and ask them to conduct drills ,
Find out your office has an emergency plan, know your responsibility at your works during an emergency .

During an earthquake.
Stay calm if you are indoors, stay out if you are out of buildings. Many injuries occur as people enter or leave the buildings.
If you are indoors , stand against the a wall near the center of the building, or get under a sturdy table keep some cushion on your head, Stay away from windows and outside doors, if you are in a high rise building stand against a support column.
If you are in outdoor stay in the open place , keep away from over head electric wires. and bridges,
Don't use open flames, if you are in a moving vehicle stop away from over bridges and stay inside the vehicle still earthquake stops.

After an earthquake.
Check yourself and nearby people for injury, provide first aid,
Check electric and gas connection,
Turn on your radio or T.V for emergency instructions, reduce the use of phone lines it may be required for conveying some important messages.
Stay out of damaged buildings,
Wear chapels and gloves to protect against shattered glass and debris.

Stay away from beaches and water front areas where Tsunami could strike, even long after the shaking has stopped.
Have one earthquake alarm fixed in your house.

SURVIVAL LISTS FOR TECHNIQUES AND SKILLS

Take GPS ( Global Positioning System - sat.nav.) for instance - it's become popular in the last few years, and some people depend solely on their Magellan for navigation.

What do they do when it breaks down or run out of batteries after a catastrophe?

Basic Self Defense Techniques

Survival First Aid

Army field manual Survival, Evasion and Escape. It used to FM100, but I think they reissued all field manuals so it might be different now.

Know Your Plants

Many of the readily available sources of water in the wild are not safe for drinkin. The best lookin streams are probably contamintated with items that may cause dehydration or intestinal problems. For this reason, clean water is a big problem for those needing to survive in the wilderness. Here are two methods of purifyin drinkin water:

Boiling is the first method; the second is by chemicals. You can also filter the water, but that may leave certain agents that cause sickness. Tablets to purify water are found at most outdoor or camping stores. Another way to purify is usin chlorine bleach: add eight drops for one gallon of water.

Also, you can purify water without boilin for even a minute!

Heating water to a rollin boil to remove any contaminants that are organic. A temp of 180°F will kill remove all contaminants, by the time the water reaches the boilin point of 212°F you can know that it is pure.

You do not have to boil water for five, ten, or tewnty minutes, once the boilin point is reached, your water is pure, so there is no need to expend fuel.
