Northern Dancer
Survivalist
I planned to be on the trail for a short time, I knew where I was and the terrain was familiar. But I had trail confusion and took the wrong turn. When I realized that I headed back - but missed the trail that I should have taken. So a two hour stroll became an eight hour event (but not an ordeal). I had a hydration device (remember when we called it a water bottle?) but that was all. Finally (without panic) I figured out where I was and headed back. When I got back someone asked, "I thought you were going out for a few hours?" "Well...I...err...sort of felt the urge to do more...cough cough."
If I'm Hiking I Take My Survival Pack - even if I know the terrain.
It's small, compact and can be really helpful IF... I've only had two IFS in my outdoor adventures but none-the-less I take my Survival Kit.
This is what it looks like.
[Keep in mind everyone has their own ideas about what they take.]
My Survival Pack and My Survival Knife
My knife is the new improved Gerber Survival Knife that I always wear.
The knife can be used as a hammer, able to cut down small trees, has a fire starter,
is durable and strong.
It also has a little Survival Booklet.
It is designed so you can use it as a spear head.
Now what's in the Pack?
Small pack, attached whistle and bug repellent, fire starter, space blanket, toilet paper [of all the survival packs I've seen I've never seen toilet paper - no, I'm not using poison ivy to wipe...], 20 feet of cord, sling shot with 50 rounds of ammunition, compass, wet wipes, a mirror for signalling (and I can look at it and talk to myself if I need company.) flash light, (survival knife - as mentioned), smaller knife, pad and pencils, and a poncho. I also carry three nutrition bars and the first aid pack contains tablets for purifying water. [Keep in mind everyone has their own ideas about what they take.]
