How to Build a Smart Survival Kit
Posted by Nick Clement on
Smart survival is about real-world practical survival situations. Not primitive (bushcraft) or tactical (military). Smart survival is about instantly protecting yourself if you are in need of shelter. Smart survival is about starting a fire as fast as possible. Smart survival is about understanding exactly what threats you are exposing yourself to and equipping yourself to ensure you are protected from those threats.
