Outdoor Survival
Chas E. Smith is excited to present a hand-selected range of essential outdoor survival equipment, specifically designed to help you survive under adverse conditions.
Survival Essentials
When you are out hunting, fishing, hiking, backpacking, camping or generally enjoying the great outdoors, if something goes wrong what do you need to ensure survival? What are your basic Survival Essentials?
If you consider your basic survival needs, factor in the type of trip or expedition you are planning and the terrain you will be covering, then you should be able to determine what basic survival equipment to take with you.
Your basic survival needs are:-
- Medical (physical and psychological)
- Protection (clothing, shelter and fire)
- Sustenance (food and water)
- Signaling (a means of communication to get help)
- Travel (the ability to get to safety)
If you consider these 5 basic needs and look at the trip you are planning, you can work out what survival kit to take with you.
Essential Survival Equipment
Remember that in a rescue situation, the survivor is usually the weak link. Change that by being prepared.
Chas E. Smith's outdoor experience is considerable and we stock a range of products for each of your basic survival needs - flint and steel firestarters to waterproof matches, whistles and signal mirrors, water purification devices, survival bags and bivi bags, and emergency kits containing all the essentials.
