Have a knife and a source of fire like a Bic lighter make survival so much easier.

I had a friend in Olympia, WA that put together survival gear for cold or hot weather situations, first aid, dried food and other tools for survival. They were in two air tight bags and sucked tight with a vacuum. Then they were placed in each removable wingtip area on his RV7. So he always had some protection in case of a problem. Not a bad idea.

Throw in a tourniquet or two.

From experience, I know that a full survival vest...
in a cockpit not designed for that bulk... on a hot day... is pretty much a non-starter. Especially for someone who's well past their 40s, and perhaps overweight. And in addition to all the above things, might as well add a gallon or two of water. Much of the U.S. is dry. In fact, I'd a lot rather have the water than some of those other things. Survival kits need to be regional and seasonal. Dave |
A SERE kit can fit in a shirt pocket 4"x 2" x 1". I have one in old Sucrets box, that contains knife, Bic, button compass, fishing gear, water purification tablets, antibiotics and waterproofed with Gorilla tape that can be reused. The best survival gear is in your head.
Remember there is lotsa good stuff in that RV. |
Signal mirror
How many carry a signal mirror but don't have a clue how to use it?
