Top Survival Gear Picks You Should Always Have

By Tammie Caldwell


Every individual have different fantasies when it comes to planning their travels. There are surely different places that they want to go into once they have the chance to. Others want to be do relaxing events while some prefer to experience the thrill. Those who go after adventures are always reminded to be cautious. Adventure is often accompanied by danger and the thrill of being near it.

If you decide that you want to take a hike in the wilderness or go camping. There are several things that you have to take for you to be prepared whatever happens. And if you decide that you will not take a guide, you really have to come prepared. Aside from the essentials, you also need your survival gear especially if it is a longer trip.

There is always emphasis placed in making sure that these stuff are in your bag before you leave. And when you choose the items you are bringing, you need to be certain that they are not too large for you to carry because this would be very inconvenient for you. And when you are faced in a dangerous situation, there is a chance that you can get out of it.

You must never forget to bring your knife or knives and a trusted rope. So that the rope will not get tangled with other objects and for it to not become a nuisance, you have to tie it nicely together. And the knives must be sharpened before you go. Aside from that, it would be better to bring a secondary knife. It must be something that you can put and squeeze into smaller spaces for ease of carrying.

You will be needing food. Just bring those that would not go bad easily and enough for the number of days that you decided you will stay in that area. Water is a must. You can forget food but not hydration. Aside from that, it is hard to find a clean drinking water in the wilderness compared to finding something that you can eat.

If you decided that you will be going camping, a tent is essential. There is a reason why tents can be folded these days. This is so that you do not have to worry about carrying it around. It would not be so much of a burden and you can open it up when you need it.

You should also not forget about your first aid kit. You might be injured along the way or you might suddenly feel sick so you need to bring the necessary medications. And for the first aid kit to still be effective, the container must not get wet with water and it should be durable enough so that the things inside would not get damaged.

There are people who want to work alone. And they also want to travel alone. You might travel with others but if you decide to be alone, you need to make use of a signaling device. Through this, you can call for them when you need help or you are in danger.

During night time, it would be too cold and this would not be good for the body. You have to bring warm clothing including the beanie and you have to bring something that will help you start the fire. Through this, you can keep yourself and the others warm.
