9 Basic Items For Your Survival Bag…

Surviving in the wild — no matter the location or the time of year — depends on human wit and will, more than the gear you have in your pack. But all survival experts still recommend assembling a survival bag of equipment to stay with you at all times in the wilderness.

Indeed, if you’re lost or injured, the right gear can mean the difference between a comfortable night spent outdoors, and a cold one. Items like a whistle or a signal mirror can alter fate to issue rescue instead of abandonment.

1. A Knife:

2. Tarp

4. Fishing line and hook

5. A fire source: either a lighter or wax coated matches
