Stayin’ Alive Kits
Expert guide to making a personal survival kit that will pull you through when disaster strikes.
Time and time again, we hear news reports of persons involved in a survival situation of one type or another. The situation may have been caused by adverse weather, simply becoming lost while out of doors, or it may have been a tragic event such as a plane crash or an act of terrorism that brought the victims to their destiny. Sometimes we’ll hear of a happy ending, but more often than not, we hear reports of tragic fates that might have been avoided with basic knowledge and by having a few simple tools at hand.
For the most part, modern man has lost the ancient arts of survival to the hustle and bustle of everyday life in a civilized world. Typically, man isn’t prepared for the unexpected loss of modern comforts and isn’t prepared to cope without those comforts.
