We love going into the great outdoors, but it does come with some inherent risk. Even a quick day hike can go the wrong way in a hurry, dropping you right into the middle of a survival situation. Luckily, a little knowledge combined with a few survival items can help you get through it until rescue arrives or you're able to get out on your own. We've got the survival accessories to help you put your kit together for those "just in case" scenarios.
What are the top 5 survival items?
Typically, outdoor enthusiasts and experts refer to the "Ten Essentials" when talking about survival kits:
- 1. Navigation: compass, maps, GPS, etc.
- 2. Illumination: headlamps, flashlights, etc.
- 3. Sun Protection: sunscreen, sunglasses, UPF clothes, etc.
- 4. First Aid: a kit that suits your skills, blister treatment, etc.
- 5. Knife: a quality knife is invaluable outdoors, as are small tools for any equipment you may have, etc.
- 6. Fire: fire starting supplies like matches, tinder, etc.
- 7. Shelter: this refers to a tarp, lightweight bivvy, tent, etc.
- 8. Extra Food: usually one more day than you plan to be out.
- 9. Extra Water: again, usually one more day than you plan to be out, but a water purifier is a superior plan to lugging water around.
- 10. Extra Clothes: wear a layering system that has enough layers to get you through a night in the elements.
To boil this down to the Top 5, we can combine them and assume you're dressed appropriately for the weather and using a layering system, which would cover #3, #7, and #10. Here's the rest in an abbreviated list:
- Tools: a multi-tool will usually do in a pinch, just make sure it has a decent knife blade.
- Fire & Light: a lighter or match kit and a headlamp.
- Water: bring a purifier, even if you're carrying water.
- First Aid: carry a small kit, include bug repellant.
- Navigation: map and compass, GPS, or map app on your phone that works in airplane mode.
What's the one most important thing to have in a survival situation? Wits. Learn as much as you can about survival skills and practice them before you go out, "the more you know, the less you need" really is true.
What are basic survival supplies?
For basic survival supplies, refer to the "Rule of 3's. This is an easy-to-remember system that will help you keep your priorities straight. Basically, a human can survive:
- 3 minutes without air
- 3 hours without shelter
- 3 days without water
- 3 weeks without food
Those are just rules of thumb, and will vary depending on the person, the weather, and the situation. It's basically a way to set your priorities and get down to the dirty business of staying alive in an emergency.
