Survival Equipment You Should Never Forget
Mark loved the outdoors. Every summer, he and a group of friends would go camping for a few days.
There was nothing new about the trip this year compared to the last because the campers will hike along the same trail before making camp near the shores of the lake.
Since Mark was a former ranger, he knew there were some essentials that any camper should never forget to take. This individual often referred to it as survival equipment, which is not just a first aid kit.
Here are the things that Mark always takes along on any camping trip.
1. The most important piece of paper that any camper must have is the map, which will serve as a guide to show where they are going. Mark always bought a new one every year since nature has its way of changing things over time.
2. Mark was a soldier trained in the old school. While many troops relied on the global positioning system, this person still felt that the compass was still better choice. This device isn't powered by batteries and can be used anytime together in conjunction with a map in hand.
3. Everyone in the group loved to smoke so there won't be any problems making a fire. Just in case it gets wet, a box of matches was hidden in a waterproof box to be used only using during emergencies.
4. There were times that the group had to move at night if it took longer than planned to move from one point to the next. Those who can't afford to buy night vision goggles will have to rely on a flashlight which requires an extra set of batteries.
5. A Swiss or a pocketknife was also part of the survival equipment that should never be forgotten. Mark and the others could use this to cut rope when pitching the tent, cut some branches to be used as firewood or hunt for some food in case someone wants to hunt for food.
The map, a compass, a box of matches, a flashlight and a knife is what Mark perceived as things that should never be forgotten when going out camping. This individual would check to see if everything was ready the night before and do the same thing in the morning.
Should something be missing, the group will drop by the hunter't lodge on the way out before continuing on with the trip.
