Do you carry a basic survival kit wherever you go? I definitely do. Let's talk about the very basic items we always carry with us no matter where we go or how far we plan to stray from home.
I am using an old ammo bag or small rucksack to carry my survival gear. What I will carry depends on a variety of circumstances. But here I am listing the items I will always carry on me. Wouldn't leave home without them, no matter what.
Multi tool (includes pliers, small chisel and pen knife).
Fire lighting equipment: At least two cigarette lighters, two large sheets of newspaper in a small waterproof plastic bag. Some pieces from a broken plastic flower pot. They are ideal for starting a fire even in very wet conditions.
Medical supplies: At least 4 large band aids kept in a small waterproof container.
Basic survival food : One small package (500 gr) Spaghetti and at least four teabags.
Rain gear: Waterproof PVC trouser, PVC jacket or military style poncho. During the winter I use the heavy duty German Bundeswehr poncho. I have a light-weight poncho for the summer. Ex-military as well, I believe it's French, but I am not sure.
This is my very basic pack and I would never leave home without it. It's always ready packed and permanently sitting near the front door.
