The Outdoor Adventure Giving you tips, tricks & recommendations to help make adventuring in the Outdoors fun, safe & exciting for you and your kids.
Not to long ago I asked for advice on what to take on a survival trip in May in the BC mountains. Keep the ideas coming! We’ve had some great ones.
One thing that I picked up from Sierra Trading post and am considering taking a long on a trip is the Adventure Medical Kits SOL Survival pack I got it on sale for $8.97, so I bought two! It’s a simple, prepackaged kit. It could be a good test of what one of these kits can do.
Here’s what is inside:
- Ideal for backcountry skiing, backpacking, boating and hiking
- Waterproof pouch with items that address top priorities in survival situations
- Pack intended to supply one person with survival needs
- Waterproof, windproof Heatsheet survival blanket reflects 90% of body heat back to you and provides shelter from the elements
- Mini Rescue Flash signal mirror is visible from over ten miles away
- Slim rescue howler whistle can be heard over one mile away
- Waterproof, windproof matches in watertight vial with submersible striker
- Tinder-Quick waterproof tinder burns for two to three minutes so you can start a fire
- Survival fishing and sewing kit includes fishing or sewing line, fishing hooks, needle, snap swivel and safety pins
- Accurate, liquid-damped and fast-acting 20mm survival compass
- Weight: 5.8 oz.
- Material: Includes 1 – 2×50” duct tape 1 – Liquid-filled button compass 7- Waterproof matches 1 – Fire Lite fire striker 1 – Fishing gear in vial 1 – Heatsheet survival blanket 1 – Mini rescue flash signal mirror 1 – Mini rescue howler whistle 4 – Tinder Quick pieces
I will probably add a couple this as was suggested to spice it up (like paracord), but I don’t want to bring too much.
What do you think? have you had any experience with AMK products?
