Best kind of survival kit
Q. Hey Gear Guy, I am getting ready to go on a camping trip and just would like to know what is the best kind of survival kit that fits nicely in my backpack and doesn’t take up too much room.
— Scout Stephen, Havelock, N.C.
A. Thanks for the question, Stephen. The easiest thing is to buy a pre-made survival kit like the SOL (Survive Outdoors Longer) Scout ($25; adventuremedicalkits.com). This compact 5.4-ounce kit includes a compass, signal mirror, rescue whistle, survival blanket, fishing kit, fire starter and duct tape all packed inside a mini waterproof drybag that won’t take up much room in your backpack.
I think that you should have bright orange clothes and a waterproof blanket that can be used for making a lean-to, signaling, and keeping warm. And also tons of water!
The best survival kit is the one never used; that means you were prepared to avoid the situation to use one.
Amen
Being prepared is what it is all about. If you don’t have it you cant use it. A personalized kit is the way to go.

im addicted to survival!!!!!!!!!!!1
Then you’ve never really “survived” anything extreme. No one is addicted to getting lost and/or fight for their life. Trust me I know.
