A List Of Essential Wilderness Survival Supplies

By Charlotte McBride


Trekking or hiking in jungles or forest can be very exciting yet dangerous. For this reason, it is important that one fills his backpack with all the necessary wilderness survival supplies. If he would want to avoid any casualties, then he should at least have these things.

First item on the list and probably the most important would be the knife. The knife is a very useful tool that can save almost any situation. If one would want to cut something like plants and some edibles for example, he can use the knife to do that. If by any chance a wild animal would attack him, he could also use the knife as a weapon to fend it off and save his own life.

A compass is also a very important tool to bring on a hiking trip. Just in case one will get lost or lose his way around the wilderness, the compass will be able to guide him back. This handy little instrument will help him get back his bearing so that he can stick to the path that he was originally supposed to walk.

Obviously, water should be something that one does not forget when he goes trekking. Since the trip will take more than just one day, it is important that one stay hydrated at all times. So never forget to bring at least three bottles of water to avoid being dehydrated. If one runs out of water, he can refill his bottles in lakes or rivers but he his to make sure that the water is clean before he even takes a sip of it.

Food is also essential because it provides one with sufficient energy and strength to be able to survive in such rough conditions. He should at least bring some snacks with him and just a small pot or pan so he can cook. The wilderness may contain a lot of edible components that is delicious when cooked.

Of course he will not be able to cook if he is not able to make a fire. So in order to address this problem, he should bring a lighter and probably a box of matches so that can does not need to rub two sticks together. Rubbing two sticks may produce results but it takes too much time and effort which could be used in more productive things like cooking or finding wood.

One may never know when an accident may happen to him or one of his friends while in the woods. For that reason, one should always be prepared with a first aid kit in his backpack for these situations. At least if someone got wounded or suffered from any other injury, one may treat him immediately. This will enable the group to get out of the forest without being too hurt.

So before going on a trip to the jungle, do not forget these wilderness survival supplies. The least that he should bring are these items that were mentioned above. Without these things, his trip might end up disastrous and maybe even dangerous.
