Week 16 of 52:
Survival Tools
This week we will be expanding on
the topic discussed in week-2: tools for home
emergencies, and focus on acquiring the right tools to help you survive.
Preparedness requires the ability to fall back on a foundation of tools and supplies you can count on for survival.
Our ancient ancestors depended on tools for survival, and we are no different.
Having the right survival tools on hand for when unexpected emergencies occur
can help assist you in getting your basic needs met, catch food, communicate
with emergency officials, and find your way in the dark.
Good, quality tools are a sound investment that can last a
lifetime if properly cared for. The ten tools listed below are the most
important survival tools that should be in your 72-hour bagsor survival
bags. Practice using these tools regularly so that you know their capability
and their strength.
The Top 10 Survival Tools For Your Survival
Bags
1.
Water Treatment: We simply cannot live without water. The more
energy you consume, the more water your body will need. Having a means to
purify water in a survival situation will help keep you hydrated, your brain
functioning properly and your focus on survival. In addition, if you sustain an
injury, water can be poured over the wound for cleaning.
2.
Compass and Map: Knowing which direction you are headed and
where you need to be are essential. Keep maps of your surrounding area at home
(in case you have to evacuate by foot), in your car and in your survival bags.
3.
Fire Starter, flint
bars, matches or lighter: Having a
way to produce fire can help you cook food and keep warm and prevent
hypothermia.
4.
First Aid Kit: You do not want to be caught in a survival
situation without a first aid kit. This kit assists in injury treatment and
helps prevent infections from perpetuating.
5.
Mirror: Used for signaling, checking face for wounds,
looking at your back for wounds/ticks, and can be used to start fire.
6.
Rope: This can be used for making snares or
assisting in making other traps lashing branches together to build a shelter,
assisting in first aid (splints, tourniquets, slings), or to make survival
tools such as spears.
7.
Survival Blanket or Bivvy: A bivvy or survival blanket can be used as an
emergency shelter, sleeping bag or can be an extra layer added to your existing
sleeping bag if you are expecting a cold night.
8.
Multi-tool: Used for notching or more complex wood working
skills, opening cans, altering equipment, medical uses, if snare wire is around
wire cutters can cut it.
9.
Lighting: Lanterns, light sticks, flashlights, and head
lamps can help you find your way if in the dark. LEDs, solar and hand crank
will get you the most for your money.
10.
Survival Knife: Survival knives should be made of good
quality steel. Invest in one you can rely on. Make sure it is well made, is
strong enough for rough field use, and is the best you can afford.
The bottom line is, your preparedness tools are your life line.
The tools you choose should ones that you can depend on to assist in meeting
your basic survival needs. Without them, you could be ill-equipped in a
survival situation.
