Fire Starting
A safe fire is important for many reasons. A fire can provide warmth, signal your location, improve morale, cook your food, and more. With 25 ProForce survival matches, 4 TinderQuik tabs and the Spark-Lite fire starter you should be able to start multiple fires under tough conditions. The Spark-Lite fire starter can be used with one hand and produces a stream of sparks that will light the Tinder-Quik tinder. Also included are 25 ProForce wind and water proof matches in a sealed vial. These matches burn for approximately 12 seconds, allowing ample time to ignite your tinder.

Hydration
Hydration is critical to maintaining mental sharpness, thermal regulation and energy. Aquamira Water Purifier tabs will destroy biological pathogens found in wilderness water sources when used according to the instructions, includng Giardia and Cryptosporidium. Each tablet treats one quart of water for a total of 12 quarts (a gallon per day for three days). The one-quart Platypus bottle is a robust container for treating and storing water, yet occupies a very small space when collapsed.

Signaling
Signaling can be vital to a speedy rescue, and a whistle and signal mirror are mainstays for any survival kit for good reason. Both are compact, effective signaling devices that can attract attention over surprisingly long distances. In addition, the AMK bivvy, the blaze orange bandanna and the Photon X-light can all be used as ground signals.

In addition to this kit, some locations and climates will warrant additional items. For instance, you may want to consider a saw, an all weather blanket, or even a PLB, to name a few. And we're assuming that you already have a dependable knife and the proper clothing for your environment. Remember to practice and become familiar with the items in the survival kit. You may need to use them under stressful conditions. Also, be sure to leave an itinerary with a trusted friend before setting out.
