Survival Basics
Tuesday, August 17th, 2010
We all watch the ‘survival shows’ that are on the TV these days and many people may have said to themselves “there’s no way I could do that” or some may have even said…”sure that’s easy”. Here’s a breakdown for the ‘naysayers’ out there and bare bare bones basic skills needed to stay alive and been found:
Learn to make a fire.
Always have at least THREE methods of starting a fire with you, one can be used immediately like waterproof matches or a butane lighter. You can add flint and steel and I would suggest picking up a Magnesium Fire Starter/Bar as well, you shave the magnesium off so you will always have some ‘dry’ fire starting material. These can be picked up at a local camping or discount store.
