1. Multi-functional tool for belt sheath
This is one of the most important projects in the suite. Although the accessories will vary, good multi-tools may include pliers, wire cutters, wire strippers, multiple blades, cans/openers, various screwdrivers, nut wrenches, scissors, tweezers, rulers, awl, etc. .
2. Machinery
Although not very compact, machete is lighter than most axes and can be used for more purposes. If you have a machete and multi-tool in your kit, you don't need an axe or tool. The only thing that eliminates this elimination is the hammer on the back of most axes, but the sticks or rocks work well for most hammering needs in survival.
The blades are made of many different types of metals and alloys with different tempering and thickness, width, length, style and shape. The handles are made from many different types of materials and come in many different shapes and sizes. A good survival machete will have a semi-flexible blade of 18 inches or longer that is easy to sharpen, but maintains good edges for moderate use. Most importantly, the handle must be comfortable and held in the hand. With a machete, you can perform any task that can be done with a large knife or axe. It can also be used to dig or shake, or as a powerful weapon. Install and use the wrist lanyard when shredding or swinging the chopper.
3. PARACHUTE CORD
The most common type of parachute rope has a tensile strength of 550 pounds. This far exceeds the weight required for most living applications. The rope has a diameter of 4 mm. It doesn't sound like a lot, but it adds up. A smaller diameter cord having a tensile strength of 200-250 pounds is sufficient and has a half volume. Used to erect and construct shelters and useful camp furniture, repair clothes and equipment, or as slings containing and carrying items, bundled firewood, branches, reeds or grass bedding, pull the dead branches from the trees, for Firewood, boots lacing, belts, traps and traps, "thief" sirens, binding splints and safety bandages in place, fire materials... list continues. Carry at least 30'
4. DUCT TAPE
Get a good heavy brand name roll. Use it to repair clothes, boots, tools and equipment, build shelters, furniture and tools. Use it to tie the hot rubbing points on your feet to prevent blisters and use gloves as temporary gloves. If necessary, you can screw it into a "rope", which is good for making snowshoes. It is also a good mousetrap and firearm.
5. Dental floss
A 200-inch waxed floss can be invaluable. While important for maintaining good oral hygiene, it can be used for other purposes such as repairing small items, sewing and sewing clothes, boots [even skin], making tools and weapons, or using fishing lines.
6. Small diameter line
This can be galvanized, stainless steel or copper. The more flexible the better. Use it to repair gear items, make traps and traps, and hang pots, meat and other foods on the fire in a fire pit. The grill or "toaster" can be made of wire.
7. Plastic watch
Black 6 mil heavy plate 6' x8 or larger. Used as a windshield, tilted, sheltered roof, awning, floor tarpaulin, blanket or poncho, and protects gears and clothing from rain, snow and dew. Used to collect and store water so that the sun is still there. Black absorbs sunlight to generate heat, which helps to keep warm, and when used as a solar distiller, will produce more water than transparent plastic, and in some terrains and conditions rescuers may find it easier to see it. .
8. MYLAR SURVIVAL [SPACE] BLANKET
The reflective properties of the space blanket are ideal for reflecting body heat back to you, or passing the heat of the bonfire to you or into your shelter. When used with a plastic sheet, many combinations and configurations can be combined to provide a shelter and/or bedding. The space blanket shines like aluminum foil on at least one side, which helps to signal rescuers in sunny conditions.
9. Candle
Used for lighting, warmth, cooking, lighting fire or night signals. Melted wax can be used for waterproof leather boots, thighs, knees and trousers. During the "worm season", it includes a camphor candle to protect against insects. If you are short of water and your mouth is dry, chewing a wax can produce saliva, which can help suppress hunger. Chewing behavior helps the blood circulation in the head, which may cause the brain to be more alert, which is good for living conditions.
10. Heavy duty zip pocket
1 or 2 gallon bags are ideal for packaging clothing, food, toiletries and other equipment. Used to collect and store water. A gallon-sized bag can be worn on the sock to keep the foot dry or worn on a hat or head to keep the head dry. Sandwich bags are great for placing smaller items. A worn bag can be used to catch fire.
11. Heavy paper towels
Paper towels are not only suitable for the obvious daily use we find for them, but also for other uses such as note paper and wound dressings, filtration of sediment in drinking water and toilet paper.
12. Flammable food
Fritos and Doritos snacks are the best choice. Although not the healthiest food, it still provides fuel for your body, as well as much-needed salt to help prevent muscle cramps. Fritos and Doritos are highly flammable. Use 2 or 3 as tender, or light the entire single-part bag for quick shooting in wet conditions.
When assembling the kit, consider other uses that the item may provide or other items that may be used for its purpose. Consolidate to eliminate the need for multiple single-use items to reduce the weight and space requirements of your kit. Assemble your kit to meet your specific needs, but use a versatile survival gear project to keep it simple and streamlined and confidently face your next living environment.
