Striker Survival
Need advice/tips with survival situation!?
Coming up in a few months (this summer), I plan to try to survive in the North Carolina mountains for five to seven days. I have minimal experience camping/hiking, so I come to you for help.
As far as gear goes I plan to bring:
– Backpack
– Striker to make fires
– Axe/small knife
– Fold-able shovel
– Rope/string
– Tarp
– Collapsible pot (do they make these?)
– Metal rack (like the ones that are on grills)
– MRE packs only to use in emergency
– Flash Light?
Still undecided on if I am going to bring a small tent and a fishing pole, would like to try to build my own shelter and would like to see if I could catch food without a fishing pole. Is there anything that I left out that may be needed?
Any tips as to what find of food I should look for? My dad suggested crawlfish. Any other tips of hints you might have would be much appreciated.
Thanks!
There are small light-weight camping/backpacking mess kits that all fit a small pot and it’s lid, usually containing eating implements, the handle folds over and secures the lid to the pot.
You should also take a decent first aid kit. An injury in the wild can be devastating and greatly threaten your chances of survival.
If you are going to take a flashlight, take one that is a windup or charged by shaking. That way you don’t have to worry about the batteries going dead and leaving you in the dark.
Take a hat and gloves. Sunburn is nasty and splinters are nasty.
Take a good space blanket (as opposed to a tarp). They can be used as a tarp, can be used as a blanket and can also be used to distill water from the sun.
Instead of MRE’s you might want to consider freeze-dried foods, which are more lightweight and come in a wider variety of entrees.
Make sure you take an extra pair of socks or plan on rinsing your socks out every night. Ask any experienced hiker and they will tell you to take care of your feet and they will get you where you’re going.
you would be wise to take a small water filter or water purification tablets. You might not always be able to build a fire to heat and purify the water, so a back up plan is always good.
If you are going to try and live off the land, then I would recommend you take a small guide to the edible wild plants in that part of the country. You can set small snares and catch small wildlife, but be aware of any hunting laws in your area. Even fishing without a license can get you into trouble with the local game warden.
