    About this ebook

    Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

    #1 The head accounts for around 47 percent of heat loss, and its protection is vitally important. The inner layers of your clothing should be made of a thin, cotton material, loose-fitting and able to absorb perspiration. The second layer should be made of tightly woven wool with adjustable fastenings at the wrist and neck.

    #2 Boots should be calf-length, watertight, and loose enough to allow the wearing of two pairs of socks - one thin pair under a thick, knee-length woollen pair. Loose, comfortable layers will not restrict the foot’s blood supply.

    #3 In a survival situation, you can rarely replace your clothes. It is important to ensure they last and continue to function properly. Layers next to your skin will need frequent washing to remove ingrained sweat and dirt.

    #4 The development of specialized survival equipment for civilian use has increased significantly over the past decade. The items in your kit must be useful and fit within your weight and size restrictions.

      #1

      The head accounts for around 47 percent of heat loss, and its protection is vitally important. The inner layers of your clothing should be made of a thin, cotton material, loose-fitting and able to absorb perspiration. The second layer should be made of tightly woven wool with adjustable fastenings at the wrist and neck.

      #4

      The development of specialized survival equipment for civilian use has increased significantly over the past decade. The items in your kit must be useful and fit within your weight and size restrictions.

      #5

      A candle will prolong the life of your matches by providing a constant flame. It will also help start a fire even when the tinder is damp. The flint and steel is a robust and reliable piece of equipment, but its usefulness is vastly improved when combined with a block of magnesium.

      #6

      The components of your survival kit should not be viewed as comfortably ensuring your survival. The kit should be viewed as a catalyst that kick-starts your personal survival skills. The tampon is the most efficient tinder and fire-lighting aid.

      #7

      A survival kit should contain a minimum of 15 metres (50 feet) of parachute cord, razor blades, and needles and pins. Parachute cord is a strong alternative to plain string, with a breaking strain of about 250 kilograms.

      #8

      A simple survival bag made of polythene protects the body from both wind and rain. It also has many other uses, including an improvised rucksack, a waterproof layer when making a shelter, and a solar still.

      #9

      A survival kit should include the
