Description given on Youtube:
This video details 10 important items that you should have with you when you venture into a remote area or even just a day hike in a local area.
The first 5 items are the most important as they are the most difficult to make and the most time consuming to produce in nature. Having a knowledge of the items to take with you, lets you know what you need to make and prioritise if you don’t have them. The 10 piece kit consists of:
1. Cutting tool, 2. Combustion device, 3. Covering/shelter, 4.Container (metal), 5. Cordage, 6. Compass, 7. Cloth (bandanna), 8. Cargo/ Duck tape, 9. Candeling device/head torch, 10. Cloth sail needle.
