Survival Equipment

The core tools of self-reliance outdoors. Browse fire steels and fire starters, compasses, signal whistles and mirrors, paracord, survival tins and other compact kit that earns its place in a rucksack. It's the gear hill walkers, wild campers and bushcrafters carry for when plans change. Every item is chosen for usefulness rather than looks. The best survival equipment is the gear you know how to use, so practise with it before you need it. Each listing gives sizes, weights and materials as the manufacturer states them, so you can compare items honestly. Start with the basics that help you stay warm, be found and find your way, and add to your kit as your trips get longer.
