Survival Kit

General contents

Survival kits contain supplies and tools to provide a person with basic shelter against the elements and keep warm, meet their health and first aid needs, provide food and water, signal to rescuers, and assist them in finding their way back to help. The specific supplies or tools that fit in each of these categories are listed below. Note that the list below is not the contents of an actual survival kit. Rather, each category lists some of the supplies or tools from which kit-makers choose when they are making a survival kit:

 Shelter or warmth

• Reflective aluminum Space blanket to retain body heat
• Lightweight emergency poncho for protection against rain
• Emergency “tube tent”, “bivvy bag” or tarp with grommets for attaching a rope
• Mosquito net, protection against mosquitoes, flies and other insects.
• Magnifying glass, magnesium, or tinder for fire-starting
• Magnesium Flint and Saw Striker
• Waterproof matches or lighter
• Esbit or heat tablets for starting a fire
• Dark-colored shoe polish (black preferred) for fire fuel. (It also gives off a smell that can repel animals and can be used for marking and camouflage)
• Cable saw for cutting wood (either for constructing a shelter or for a fire)

Health and First Aid

• First aid kit with bandages, sterile pads and gauze, first aid tape, tweezers, surgical razor, disinfectant pads, oxytetracycline tablets (for diarrhea or infection) and aspirin

Money

• A supply of money in small denominations and coins or credit cards to help for situations such as telephone calls (if the lines still operate) or vendors selling various goods, both essential and non-essential.

Signaling, navigation and reference

• Personal Locator Beacons (PLBs) send a distress signal that allows the beacon to be located by a satellite system (Cospas-Sarsat), minimizing the search and hastening the rescue. This distress radiobeacon could also be in the form of an ELT or an EPIRB.
