This kit, like all of the others, is divided into areas of survival need. This is a basic kit that should be augmented for your specific geographical region.
Chose a good load bearing system for your kit, one that will allow for good organization and a good weight dispersal.
Shelter:
These basic Items will provide the survivor with a basic shelter. Skill in primitive shelter building will allow him/her to expand their shelter to provide a more secure shelter for a longer term stay.
Fire:
Most would say that fire ranks above shelter. It is my feeling that without shelter, a fire does very little good. You should treat shelter and fire on about an equal basis, and the final decision on what to build first should be based on your particular situation. Also, I believe that there should be at least 3 levels of redundancy in your fire kit.
Water:
A person can only live a matter of days, hours in some cases, without water. Keeping this in mind, one must provide themselves with a source of clean, healthy water. It is a known fact that all sources of surface water must be considered suspect and purified for human consumption. And again, a redundancy program is a must.
Food:
While food is important, it is not the first concern. You must maintain a healthy caloric intake, so it is a good idea to carry some high calorie food stuffs and the tools to provide food from native sources. This is another area where a good knowledge of primitive skills will come in real handy.
Optional:
Tools:
A small selection of tools makes the various projects that you will get involved in during a survival experience much easier. Take very good care of them, and they will take care of you.
This is a very basic survival kit, designed for just 3 days on your own. But it can be considered the basis for a much more elaborate bug out kit.
