If that hiking trip or outdoors adventure has gone down the tubes and now an emergency has arisen, it is very easy for panic to set in. This is why an emergency survival kit is needed. While kits are great to have on hand, they need to be stocked with just the right items. This is what will be needed for a Rainforest Survival Kit in California.
* Water is the number one thing to have. Have enough to last at least a few days and, if possible, a filter to be able to drink rain or river water if the water supply runs out. Without water, everything else is just for naught.
* An all-purpose knife. A military tactical knife or a small ax may seem handy, but they are not all that necessary for the typical camper. A general-purpose knife will be all that is really needed. They are often very light as well, so they are not cumbersome to lug around.
* Flashlights with emergency batteries will be needed to see in the dark, whether walking or needing to perform a task. Headlamps work well as they leave the hands free for other purposes.
* High-quality duck tape (yes, “duck” like it was initially called when it was invented in World War II, not the bastardized “duct” for which it is even used) as it can be used to waterproof many an item.
* Weather-resistant fire starters such as extreme tinder balls, waterproof matches, and ferro sticks will be needed in a Rainforest Survival Kit in California. Outdoor supply companies such as Zombie Tinder sell handcrafted emergency fire starters that actually burn so hot for so long that they can dry out the wet firewood so a proper fire can be started for cooking and protection.
* MREs are a great thing to have handy, as they provide all the necessary nutrition needed while also being extremely lightweight and space-friendly. It’s like they are not even there.
