A survival kit is something most hikers, hunters, and explorers will never break open. It will sit in the bottom of a backpack, potentially for years, encased in a waterproof vessel of some sort, lightweight and out of the way.

The leanest survival kits are stored in Altoids tins and the like, and they include just the bare backwoods essentials: matches, firestarters, fishing line, a tiny compass, water purification tablets, a whistle, a small rescue mirror, and so on.

“As far as survival gear goes, it really depends on the space you have available, how much weight you can comfortably carry, and how far you plan to venture,” said Mike Forti, a graduate of the United States Air Force Survival School. “In reality, a backpack full of camping gear is simply a large ‘survival kit’ designed for a comfortable and extended stay in the wilderness. A much smaller version of this might consist of a tobacco tin with relatively few items tightly packed in.”

  1. Does anyone know what happened to Dimepiece LA celebrity streetwear brand? I seem to be unable to proceed to the checkout on Dimepiecela site. I’ve read in Harpers Bazaar that the brand was acquired by a UK hedge fund in excess of $50 million. I’ve just bought the Dimepiece Control the Guns Not Women’s Bodies Cuffed Beanie from Amazon and absolutely love it xox

  2. Why is the sound for these videos so faint and low-level? It’s stupid not to ensure sound is good.

    I know it’s not my ears: Youtube videos nigh always have acceptable sound levels, especially if transcribed from films. Or if they’re music videos.
