Are You Camping in the Wilderness? Having adequate survival gear is absolutely necessary if you plan on camping outdoors. Essential pieces include a survival backpack, tarpaulin, compass and headlamp; in addition, carry first aid supplies and paracord as part of your gear list.
The Uncharted Supply Seventy2 Pro kit is an impressive assortment of supplies neatly organized in Velcro pouches for convenient organization. Additionally, its outer bag can serve as both regular backpacking gear and provides MOLLE webbing for modular attachments.
A survival backpack
Survival backpacks are essential to being ready for an emergency situation, containing essential items such as food and water supplies.
Your plan should also provide for purifying water using either chemical or physical purifiers.
Headlamps are essential pieces of survival gear that will allow you to navigate at night while freeing your hands for other activities.
A tarp
A tarp is an indispensable piece of gear, helping keep you dry in wet weather or providing shelter for your hammock.
Before setting up a tarp, be sure to clear it of any dead branches which could fall and cause serious injuries. Also dig a furrow around its edges so as to divert water away from where you will sleep.
A compass
Compasses are among the most essential camping tools. Not only will they help guide your way through unfamiliar wilderness, they can also be invaluable tools in reading maps and determining bearings.
An ECG can be much simpler to use than GPS or phones and doesn’t rely on batteries or satellite signals for functionality.
A headlamp
An essential tool for nighttime camping and reading inside your tent, navigating campsite pathways at night and heading to the restroom are headlamps with low mode settings that won’t blind other campers while helping your eyes adjust more quickly.
Headlamps with red lighting options provide night vision preservation without startling animals; these lights are especially helpful when sharing a tent.
Paracord
Paracord is an extremely useful piece of gear, offering many potential uses in many different environments. Constructed of nylon for mildew resistance and available in an assortment of colors and lengths – the most favored being 550 cord with its tensile strength of 550 pounds – Paracord makes an invaluable companion in everyday situations.
Paracord differs from traditional braided rope in its construction by featuring a kernmantle weave consisting of multiple sheaths containing inner strands for greater strength and utility than regular rope.
A survival knife
Survival knives are multi-use tools designed to assist outdoor users in various outdoor scenarios. From cutting firewood and building shelter, to self-defense and first aid use.
A quality survival knife should feature a strong and sturdy handle. Hollow handles that can store items may compromise its strength and integrity, which compromises its strength and durability.
A hammock
Hammock camping offers a more relaxing alternative than tent camping. With breathable material keeping you cool all night long and offering stunning stargazing views. Furthermore, hammock camping protects from both rain and insects alike!
A tarp and bug net are essential accessories for hammock camping. The former serves to shield the hammock from weather elements while the latter keeps rainwater off your head and prevents rainwater runoff.
A first aid kit
A first aid kit is a collection of medical supplies designed to treat minor injuries. Items in it may include bandages, gauze pads, tweezers, saline solution and antiseptic wipes – items which will come in handy should an accident happen.
An essential first aid kit can make all the difference during a camping trip. In an emergency situation, having all necessary supplies readily available could even save lives! To make sure that your first aid kit has everything it needs, review it periodically and remove items that have expired from its shelves.
A fire starter
Fire starters can be an invaluable addition to your backpack or car camp kit, especially during windy or wet conditions which make traditional firemaking difficult. A fire starter allows you to build fire quickly in these challenging circumstances.
Ferrocerium rods are popular among survivalists and work well in wet environments. When scraped with hard objects such as the back of a wilderness knife, these rods produce sparks which ignite tinder.
A fishing pole
Fishing poles are indispensable tools for survival when camping in remote areas. Easy to use and capable of catching various species of fish, they offer the potential of fishing success!
One tip for fishing line management is whip-finishing it at the base of the pole about five or so inches above where you would hold it while fishing, this helps bind together and reduce friction on your fishing rod.
