If you plan on camping out in the wild, having essential survival gear with you is key to meeting basic needs such as shelter, food, water and warmth.

Uncharted Supply offers this all-inclusive survival kit in one convenient bag. All supplies are expertly organized in Velcro pouches for optimal organization and come with a durable backpack.

Fire Starter

Fire starters are handy tools that make starting campfires much simpler, typically consisting of a ferro rod fitted with a metal striker that ignites a bundle of tinder to ignite it and light the fuse for ignition.

Carrying multiple fire starters in your backpack or camping kit is wise, along with dry tinder material such as bark, grass clippings, moss or dryer lint for use if your fire starter becomes wet or damp. This way you have backup in case its spark fades out.

Tarp

Tents are essential pieces of survival gear, providing warmth and shelter against rain or snow during camping trips. They help ensure that you remain warm and safe, providing vital protection from harsh elements that might threaten survival camping trips.

A tarp is a piece of flat fabric with holes for stakes that is used as shelter for your tent or camp, as well as keeping food and gear dry. Furthermore, they can act as signaling tools; reflecting light back off it to alert planes about your location.

Reflector

An emergency survival knife, compass and topo map can make the difference during an unexpected crisis. A compass and map help avoid getting lost, while personal locator beacons allow others to pinpoint your exact location so rescuers can respond more quickly to an SOS call for assistance.

Reflectors tend to follow lunar authority, preferring to wait 28 days before making important decisions. Therefore, having an understanding community around them is critical in order to avoid disappointment in life.

Headlamp

Headlamps make outdoor navigation after dark easier by freeing both hands. Some come equipped with adjustable brightness and color modes; you may be able to switch between cool and warm white lights for extended outdoor adventures.

Basic low power models are suitable for camp chores and walking on trails after dark. For more demanding activities, a more powerful headlamp may be more beneficial; some even feature red light modes which preserve night vision while signaling for help.

Paracord

Paracord (550 cord or parachute cord), also referred to as an essential survival tool in camp, serves many useful functions and applications. Its rugged durability has long made it popular with hikers and campers who appreciate its numerous uses in various situations.

Paracord is usually constructed of nylon, an elastic synthetic material known for its strength and resilience. High-grade paracord features a woven sheath encasing multiple inner strands for extra security; authentic military grade 550 cord features seven to nine kermantle strands with three yarns per strand construction for optimal use.

Sleeping Bag

Selecting a sleeping bag involves considering many factors, including temperature rating, insulation type and weight. Some bags also come equipped with features like stow pockets for conveniently storing items like chargers, watches and headlamps; pad loops designed for use with sleeping pads or mattresses; and pillow pockets which enable users to stuff clothes as makeshift pillows.

Temperature ratings should be tailored specifically to the conditions you will be camping under, with most sleeping bags offering comfort, transition, and extreme temperature options.

Hammock

Hammocks are versatile camping gear that offer unparalleled comfort, allowing campers to avoid sleeping on cold or wet ground while sleeping in areas where tents would otherwise be insufficiently protected from rocks and unevenness.

As it’s essential that you find a hammock suitable to your needs, selecting an appropriate model should not be overlooked. Look for one with a maximum sleeper height and fabric denier number listed, where higher numbers indicate more robust fabrics while lower numbers signify lighter-weight and less durable models.

Knife

Knives are essential survival tools when camping. Not only can they cut things, but they’re also capable of solving an array of other issues.

A good survival knife should be large enough for serious work without becoming cumbersome to carry and use outdoors. While folding pocket knives can work just as well, fixed blade knives tend to be better as they don’t feature hinges that may accidentally close on you during use.

First Aid Kit

First aid kits are an integral component of survival gear for camping. Select one that best matches the activities and locale of your outdoor adventures, whether day use, overnight, or expedition plans are your goals.

Consider your group size and typical trip length when determining what supplies to pack for an outing. A smaller kit may suffice if hiking alone or with only two people; however, the quality may not be as high.
