I’m going to assume you already know those things, and talk about what happens next. Let’s say you find yourself faced with a disaster. Maybe even a disaster of Biblical proportions. If and when that happens, in the first few days, you’ll rely heavily on the skills above, but after that? Well, after that you’re going to stop living moment to moment and start planning for a more settled future. What follows then, will be the skills you’ll need to focus on to get you to the next level, and make no mistake, your long term survival will absolutely depend on your ability to move away from the basics.

The Survival Bracelet:The Best Friend You Didn’t Know You Had!

If you could only take one piece of survival gear into the wilderness with you, what would it be? Your trusty knife? That would be a solid, sensible choice, absolutely. A compass, perhaps? A canteen? Water purification tablets? Something else? Seriously, give the matter a few moments thought. What about a survival bracelet?

You might get more than a few crossways glances if you picked the lowly survival bracelet as your choice for that “one thing” to take with you into the wilds, but is it such a silly choice? Given its sheer versatility, perhaps not.
