Survival Gear 1.0

What survival gear your bug out bag contains is dependent upon what you are going to be doing and under what circumstances you will need to use it. A car survival kit will be different than a wilderness survival kit. For example you may want a means to break windows or cut a seat belt for a car survival kit. For a wilderness survival kit you will need at the very least a means of starting a fire, preferably 3 different methods, and a source of drinking water of 2 liters per day per person. Food in the form of some energy bars will help you keep your spirits up but are not absolutely essential. If you have a source for water and a container you can heat it up in you can boil it to make it safe to drink. Other options include iodine tablets or a sawyer water bottle filter systems designed to remove microorganisms.
