Have plenty of water

Most people need four litres of water per person per day, but some people may need more. For example, children, people who are nursing or people who are sick. Hot temperatures can double water needs. Pets need about 30 mL of water per kg of body weight per day. For example, a cat or small dog needs at least half a cup of water each day. Water must be safe to drink Purchase bottled water for an emergency kit. Keep it in its original container in cool and dark place that's easy to reach. You should not: Open the water until you need it Use water that's past the expiry or "best before" date printed on the bottle Use water from toilet tanks or bowls, radiators, waterbeds, swimming pools or spas If your regular water supply becomes contaminated, you can purify and bottle your own water. If you use a water filtration device, it's still a good idea to store some bottled water as well.

Seven Survival Priorities

The 7 priorities of wilderness survival

Follow these seven steps—in order—and you greatly increase your chances to surviving in the wilderness or the backcountry if things go wrong (if you get lost, or someone gets injured, or the weather takes a nasty turn). The two biggest killers in the great outdoors are poor planning and panic. Most people don't die in the wilderness because of the wilderness itself (the wild elements, injuries, rogue grizzly bears, etc.). Most people die because of the mistakes they made when confronted with just such a survival situation. Here is how to avoid making mistakes, the seven rules for survival courtesy of the U.S. Air Force (though we subtitute the more comprehensive "STOP" for "Positive Mental Attitude"):
