The SURVIVE Survival Kit is what every hiker, camper or boater needs in their pack. It's loaded with all the essential survival items needed in an emergency.
The 3 BASIC NEEDS in a survival situation are SHELTER, WATER and FOOD in that order. Humans can survive 3 hours without shelter, 3 days without water, and 3 weeks without food in extreme conditions.
- SHELTER: The EMERGENCY BLANKET provides a temporary shelter as either a blanket or a basic tent. 5 feet of paracord is included with the PARACORD KEYCHAIN to create a tent. Use the WIRE SAW to cut logs for a more permanent shelter. Other tools to assist in building a shelter are the FOLDING KNIFE and the MULTITOOL CARD.
- WATER: As well as providing warmth for the shelter a fire can also be used to purify water. The FIRE STARTER is key for getting a fire going.
- FOOD: The FOLDING KNIFE and TACTICAL PEN can be used as a weapon and the PARACORD as a trap to capture food. Locating and finding help is also CRUCIAL in a survival situation. Use the SIGNAL MIRROR, EMERGENCY BLANKET, WHISTLE, FLASHLIGHT and smoke from the fire to signal to rescuers. The COMPASS can be used for orienteering and navigation back to safety.
