Everyone Must Carry A Pocket Survival Kit

By Steve Thibeault

Nobody likes to think that they will one day be stranded in the wilderness, lost without a clue, or worse still, injured or incapacitated. These days, the great outdoors is very accessible and we can easily reach wilderness areas from many of our largest cities. Don't forget, that a wilderness can describe a wide variety of different environments. In your mind's eye you can probably picture a mountainous, forested area in the Rockies, but wilderness areas exist in countless counties within almost all states of the USA.

When venturing out into the wilderness, a pocket survival kit is essential. This kit contains a collection of important survival tools to help you in an emergency. You might be a casual backpacker, somebody who hunts as a hobby, someone who enjoys hiking, or an adventure snowmobiler in the winter. Even pilots of one or two seater aircraft should make sure that they are prepared for every eventuality.

You can be prepared for every eventuality by carrying a pocket survival kit on your person. This item can be easily carried in your pocket, or attached to a belt, for example. The kit is easy to open and can be resealed, is waterproof and also floats.

There are a large variety of robust and versatile components included in a typical pocket survival kit. The components are designed specifically to help in every emergency. Whilst there are tools for specific functions, some instruments can be used to help you improvise when necessary.

A scalpel blade and stainless steel utility wire are key components of a pocket survival kit. The blade is made of stainless steel and is sealed in foil for safety, whilst the utility wire measures 6 feet in length and is stronger than brass.

To enable you to make a camp should you be stranded overnight, a lens magnifier is contained within the pocket survival kit which will help you to make fires using the sun. Braided nylon cord enables you to piece together a shelter and heavy duty aluminum foil can help you to boil water, cook or to reflect the heat from the fire.

Unfortunately, some people get stranded in the wilderness for a long period of time. In this case, your pocket survival kit has a number of useful items to help you catch fish -- hooks, sinkers and swivels. Other items will help you expedite repairs and keep everything together, such as a sewing needle or a safety pin.

Nobody likes to think that they could become incapacitated, but in this case your companions can quickly and easily refer to the contents of the pocket survival kit, which are clearly visible through the back of the packet. Complete survival instructions are contained within and these should help you to maintain yourself until you find your way to safety, or help arrives.
