Basic Lists Of Suggested Items
For Long Term Survival

For A Few Days --

What things do HUNTERS, BACKPACKERS, & RAFTERS

Need to carry in their Survival Kit?

The more you know, the less gear you must bear! A long distance bugout bag (BOB), for travelling far, should weigh less than thirty pounds, for someone of middle strength and endurance. Just keep travelling, drink enough water to stay bewatered, and eat only enough to enable you to move onward.

I attend to my survival kit monthly, to insure the good state of each item of gear therein.

Whenever I hunt, I have toilet paper.

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

How far will you be, from hubs of folks?

Our best tool for survival is our own knowledge, and practicing our skills.

There are 3 considerations, for making fire -- matches or source of flame, tinder, and knowhow. Having a kit is a beginning, but being able to use the kit takes practice aforehand.

In Mine. This is a basic kit. PRACTICE must be added, practice in using the items. Have 2 kits, one never gets opened, and the other one for practicing. That is the recommendation of Maharaj Ji, never touch the survival kit.

 

Water and iodine tablets. Of course you gonna wanna bear water in your wagon, and some on your person.

The better you know your skills at findin and purefyin water, the less, of it, that you will need to bear.

When you click the image, on your right hand, you will discover lightweight gear and treatments for your needs in the field.

 

 

 

If you use plastic bottles, be sure that they are PETE or PET, or else there is, or could be, contamination from the bottle itself. Usually the type of plastic is embossed on the botham of the bottle.

Try to get intel on the whereabouts whereto you will be goin, to know what the sources there, of water, might be, and to what extent contaminated.

Farther you are into the wilds, more water you will be safe in bearin with you.

 

Waterproof matches. Either carry tinder, or know how to find and make tinder where you will be travellin. Practice makin fire on wet days. Check out a selection of different waterproof matches by clickin on the picture on your right.

Signal mirror -

Whistle - if you would have been cut off from transportation, and you become aware that possible help is near to you, then a whistle will tell, to them, your whereabouts better, than would your voice.

Toilet paper

Space blanket

Technical Med Kit

Chemical socks and hand warmers

Army Parachute cord

First thing would keep obedience to King James Bible you can never go wrong.

water resistant matches or and windproof lighter

compass

small light extra batteries

canned foods

potted meat

crackers

ponchos

beef jerky

for a big favorite extra gun or small pistol

there are so many items but rember if hiking you can't carry a lot.

Food, water, weapons, means for making fire.

I would need water, lots & lots of water.

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.

What should I have in a bag for backpacking/survival in woods by a river?

My buddies and I are goin on a floatin trip on the river but we stop and hike through the woods and camp at night.

Dependin on the climate of your outin here is my list
Compact sleeping bag
Backpack and small day pack
Sleeping pad
hking boots
fleece Jacket
Wind breaker
long underwear
wool socks
warm gloves and lightweight gloves
winter hat
sunglasses
flashlight and extra batteries
underwear
watter bottles (3-2 1 liter bottles)
Nylon, Polyster, wool clothing (NO COTTON)
Matches
Pocket knife
personal first aid kit (minor scrapes)
rain gear (poncho or heavier)
Possibly:
Pillow (small camp pillow)
Camera
Lip balm
sunscreen/Bug repellant
water shoes
small towel
toiletries
spork and bowl
paddlin gloves
parachute cord

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 goin 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.

 

But what do you think would be essential? Depends upon where you are / climate, what kind of threats

a miracle

a gallon of icecream and a tv

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.

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, gloves 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 goin 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 too. 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 2 things would you take on a random remote place as a useful survival object?

My cell phone.
My iPod =)

salt water filter and an axe

A fishing hook and a magnify glass

knife
plastic sheet

Source of ignition (to make a fire), piece of wire (to make an animal snare).

LONG TERM WANDERIN OR WILDERNESS

To get the oxygen back in your water, pour it from one container to another. You can also use cloth like a t-shirt or bandana to filter out larger particles.

Elementary Sea Survival Tools

A simple sea survival kit is a pack of tools and supplies that will aid in an crisis. They include supplies that will

provide a human being with standard shelter,

keep them warm,

provide them with food,

water,

wellbeing

and first aid needs,

signal to rescuers

and help them in finding their way back.

An elementary survival kit includes

a knife,

water-proof matches,

first-aid kit,

fish hooks,

flashlight,

life vest,

lanterns,

a stereo

and food.

When you are usin an electronic or mechanical equipment check its operation and make sure that it functions. All gear should be fitted with a lanyard because you can not afford to lose anything during an crisis. All the gear have to be packed in water-proof light-weight duffel bags.

Navigation tools

When you are lost the first thing you will need is a compass to show you the direction and your way to safety. So a good compass with adjustable declination, sextant, platforms, waterproof charts and charting tools is very important. Take some waterproof papers and pencils.

A handheld GPS unit that is waterproof will be useful in guiding you by showing your position and the nearby shore where you can reach safely. As it is electronic tools check it before you start your journey and pack extra Batteries.

Fresh Water

Fresh water is essential for your survival and you have to pack enough water to keep you through the crisis period. Pack water in sturdy watertight compriseers with screw-on caps. PET or PETE plastic is much to be preferred, as it does not leach harmful chemicaux into your water.

Food

During an emergency your appetite may possibly be suppressed initially but in cold climate you will need more energy to keep yourself warm. Therefore you will need more food. Energy bars, sweets and some dried food can help you in an emergency. Chewable multi-vitamins can be taken as they will help you get energy.

Safety Vest

Safety vests can keep you afloat if you are thrown in the waters. You can keep floating till someone can come to your rescue.

Flashlights

Flashlights are important signaling devices and you can select fully submersible scuba style lights which are more waterproof than traditional flashlights. It is not needed to sign with the momentary pushbutton switch of the flashlight. Just moving the light off the aim point is as effective.

Fishing Kit

Pick fishing kits with stainless steel hooks and take plenty of hooks as they get easily lost. If you are lost in the water for a long time fish will be your primary food and you have to survive by eating them.

Gloves

You will need sturdy well oiled leather gloves with non-slip grips that can withstand immersion in water. They will shield your hands when fishing and undertaking other chores which could possibly cause injury.

Clothes

Even in hot climates you will feel cold in the night so it is better to pack an extra set of clothes. Sunburns are dangerous adequate to threaten your life and it is advisable to take shade hats, sun glasses and waterproof sunscreen. If you are sensitive to the sunlight then it is better to take sunscreen in your survival kit.

A medical kit,

lanterns

and individualal hygiene supplies

should also be included in the sea survival gear list. The list is endless but make sure that all these products are of good quality as most of the kits that come with the boats are of cheaper excellent.

[Click Here Now and you will learn more about Essentials of Sea Survival!]

 

"With all its anecdotal and historical references this book reads like a thriller! Yet, it is packed with accurate, pertinent physiology, brinin to real life what regular textbooks can barely hope to teach from the comfort of a clean, warm, dry room.

"This book is very fluently written, there is plenty to learn for layman and expert alike. Several times, I realized that what I learned while readin may prove lifesavin if my own life will ever be put to the survival test.

"One of the most valuable assets of this book is how it re-evaluates old dogmas and official inquiry conclusions based on new knowledge and research in physiology.

"As an Anesthesiologist working in the prehospital settin in Arctic Norway (Norwegian Search-and-Rescue helicopter), I find this book tremendously valuable and recommend it warmly!"
