When it comes to survival, it is a widely held notion that the more you know, the less youneed to survive. This kit contains the basics; however, there is absolutely no substitute for proper survival training. To this end, Crashkit International recommends you find a qualified outdoor wilderness survival course to suit your needs, based on the intended area of travel. While they endeavor to provide the essentials to survive, the simple step of taking a proper course would equip you with the knowledge that may mean the difference between life and death.

This kit is an important start, but the single most important tool you have is always carried with you… Your brain. Use your head, think your way home. Analyze. Plan. Improvise.
