V enturing out into the wilds can be one of the most breathtaking and rewarding experiences you can ever have. Whether you are staying in a lodge and setting out for only an afternoon hike, or backpacking deep into the wilderness for many days, two things are absolutely essential. They are, survival skills and top quality gear -- in case all doesn't go well.

Now we all have vastly different levels of survival skills, but even experts will agree that the most important skill for even the novice explorer is.... "BE PREPARED for the UNEXPECTED". Many things can happen, and being prepared is the first law of survival. Weather can change very rapidly, a simple injury can quickly become life threatening, and even simply losing your way can become perilous. On this page you will find things that can help you to be prepared, and also help you to survive if the unthinkable should happen.

Of course there are other tools that a good outdoor lover will always have with them whenever hiking, camping, horseback riding, biking, or just about any means of getting into the wilds. Most of what we will be concentrating on here, are items that are easily carried on your person.

Necessary Gadgets

S mart tools to always include in your gear might include a Para-Cord Survival Bracelet which will give you 9 feet or so of durable chord.  You should also consider a Pocket Size Fishing Survival Kit .  However, fishing may not always be allowed so be aware of local regulations.  For any other odd jobs along the way a well designed multi-tool is indispensable.  If size and weight is a deciding issue but you still want complete functionality then the stainless  Compact Gerber Multi-Plier Tool may be for you.  However if what you demand is a full size Ultimate Multi-Tool With Nylon Sheath then Gerber and Bear Grylls have done it again.
