Read More »No matter if you are packing for a weekend hike, or a Get Home Bag it is important to be prepared for emergency situations. Dave Canterbury, the author of Bushcraft 101 came up with the 10 C’s of Survival many years ago. The concept isn’t unique, but by putting them in a list like this it made them easy to remember. He believes the first five items on the list are the most vital to have, and there should be some recumbency for those items in particular.

Having strobe option can also mean you have a means of signaling search and rescue in the dark. Cotton Material – These should be at least 3’ square if possible, in order to create a sling or cravat. Bandanas need to consist of 100% cotton, so that they char well to create embering material for a fire. A bandana can be used for bandaging when cut in strips. A bandana can also become a hygiene device for washing up or to carry or bind things like fire wood. They make a good head covering to protect from the hot sun and are great for just dipping in a cool creek to take a break on the trail. And you can use them as a pre-filter to keep large sediment out of your water. And if you have at least one that is orange it can double as a daytime signaling device. Cargo Tape – Also known as duct-tape with Gorilla brand tape being preferred due to its strength and stickiness. This can be used for everything from first aid to creating needed items. The adhesives in this tape are also highly flammable and a golf ball sized wad will burn for several minutes to help ignite and burn marginal tinder sources. It can actually be stripped into minute fibers and used to make an impromptu birds’ nest to be ignited by your Ferrocerium rod. Compass – The compass must be capable of performing more functions than just walking a straight line on an azimuth or bearing. Your compass should have a mirror so that it can be used as a signal mirror and to look for ticks and lice and to inspect cuts in areas that cannot be seen without the aid of a mirror. This makes it functional for not only as a signaling device, but also first aid. If you can find a compass with a magnifying lens of at least 5 powers it will be useful as a backup fire starter as well. You will also want to have a map of the area and know how to properly use a compass.

Read More »Canvas Needle – This is also called a sail needle and a #14 size is a good size for making repairs to packs, tents, tarps or even clothing. It can also be used to remove splinters. Some people like to place one in an Altoid tin kit and others like to use Gorilla tape to secure it to their knife sheath. You could carry a conventional sewing needle as well, but it will not work anything other than clothing and needs thread. Whereas the sail needle can handle inner paracord fiber strands or bank line strands. No matter what configuration you choose, keeping these 10 C’s in mind while packing will increase your comfort and odds of surviving an emergency situation.
