Survival List

Emergency and Wilderness Survival requires:

  • Will to survive and a proper mental attitude
  • Physical fitness
  • Knowledge and skills (first aid, survival skills, wild plant identification, land navigation, knot making, etc.)
  • Tools (broadly defined, this would also include survival manuals).

Anyone who focuses solely on tools without developing the other elements may come to regret it. Moreover, the greater your knowledge and skills, the fewer tools you need.

These lists are a reference tool for you to create your own survival kit. Your first step should be to stop and THINK. For what am I preparing? How long am I likely to be on my own? How much space do I have and how much weight can I carry? How much am I willing to spend?

Next, you must determine the size and weight of your kit(s). If you are assembling something to keep in your pocket or briefcase, you will probably have few tools and those that you have will be of a miniature variety (i.e., a wire saw). On the other hand, a tool-box sized kit for your vehicle might contain a heavier and more durable folding saw.

Finally, you must think about how much you are willing to spend. If your total budget is $100, it would be imprudent to spend $70 on a Leatherman Super Tool. You might be better off picking up a used USAF survival knife for $10. On the other hand, quality matters, so don't be mislead by cheap low-quality gear. Try to make sure each item has more than one use. And KISS!
