wilderness survival How do I make a mini wilderness survival kit?
How mini?
For a single item: a good fixed blade knife.
Second item: a knife sharpening tool.
Third: method of producing fire. Some prefer waterproof matches or stick matches in a water proof container. I always preferred a "flint and magnesium block" which when used with the knife above will produce more flames even in the wettest conditions.
Water purification tablets.
Salt or bullion cubes.
The other items depend upon the location you travel and your personal abilities. In no particular order:
Safety pins (assorted sizes including Diaper pins)
Kevlar line (SpiderWire or other fishing line) best to have one light weight (5 lb) and one heavy (50 lb or greater)
Several sizes of fish hooks
Gauze bandages (and Band-Aids)
Precision forceps or tweezers
Pain killers (Acetaminophen, Ibuprofen)
Space blanket (aluminized Mylar)
Aluminum foil (also be used to make a signal mirror)
Sewing kit (several size needles and threads)
Clean white cotton handkerchiefs
Some find use for a compass, whistle, duct tape, multifunction tools including "Swiss Army knives" and bulk chocolate blocks.
If you have the room or weight limit high enough include an extra pair of heavy socks, an Ace (elastic) bandage, several feet of leather strip, allergy medication (Sinus relief) and some iodine.
The Watermelon Knife is constructed with blue a red easy-clean plastic handle and stainless steel blade. The blade is stamped Watermelon Knife "An American Tradition" and measures 17 inches in overall length.

The LifeTracker...Wilderness Survival Gear That Could Save Your Life
In the future, The LifeTracker may become one the most effective and popular camping equipment and hiking gear since the sleeping bag.The LifeTracker is a device that in case of an emergency will, with the pull of a cord, jettisons a heavy gauge red balloon attached to a 1000 ft fishing line up high enough for searchers or a rescue plane to see. What would you do if you or one of your children were lost in the wilderness? You hear it on the news all the time. Parents get separated from their kids on a camping trip, and aren't found for days or even a week or more. Sadly, sometimes it is a retrieval rather than a rescue. Even if dad had one of those expensive GPS units, the search and rescue team will be able to locate him, but where do you go from there? Well if the entire family had been outfitted with either a LifeTracker Belt or The LifeTracker Vest, there would be no panic from either side. After a few hours the searchers would merely have to look up.
The LifeTracker makes it possible for people to be found before panic ever sets in. It not only will save lives, but millions of dollars in search and rescue man hours. There are three products available for campers, hikers, or anyone traveling to or over the wilderness. The LifeTracker Belt, The LifeTracker Vest, and The LifeTracker flare Gun, can be offered inexpensively enough to allow an entire family to outfit themselves with The LifeTracker for what it might cost to purchase one GPS unit.
The National Association of Search and Rescue estimates that there are more than 50,000 searches and rescue missions launched each year in the United States alone. The majority of them are for victims whose location is unknown. Sadly in many cases the rescue turns into a retrieval. The LifeTracker is a series of 3 different products designed to locate anyone lost in the wilderness, in hours rather than days. The LifeTracker Belt... is 4" wide with pockets on the outside to store a thermal blanket and other survival supplies. The LifeTracker Vest... Using the same concept as the "Belt" the vest inner side unzips to release a folded lean-to tent complete with telescopic 3 ft poles. Some people will prefer a vest and are willing to pay extra for the complete survival package. This offers a great option, and like the "Belt", is very marketable. The LifeTracker Flare Gun...Flare guns are very expensive and, of course, the flare only has a short life. With a small adjustment to the LifeTracker Device, it can easily be kept in a lightweight pistol, that can be stored in any backpack, vehicle, boat or plane. It might even have military use.
The thing that makes The LifeTracker unique is, first of all, the name THE LIFETRACKER ...It really tells it all. Also, In this day and age of electronics, it's refreshing to find something that is completely mechanical. There are no batteries or bad reception to worry about. Also, both the "Belt" and "Vest" have practical use. Even if the rescue device is never activated, the gear becomes part of everyday wilderness attire. For more reasons why The LifeTracker will become the best wilderness survival gear available. For complete details please visit:
Jack has always been in love with the outdoors. Now in his late 50's, he lives in California surrounded by meadows and trees. So many people go missing each year, so he has come up with an idea to help find anyone lost in the wilderness, in hours rather than days.
Have you thought about free running exercises? I don’t mean those flashy moves when you jump over a car but rather techniques that allow you to scale walls, roofs or buildings with ease to enable quick escapes. Lessons in building barricades and securing perimeters might come in handy. Wilderness survival training might be useful as well. Do you have family and friends? Do you plan to help them when the time comes?
