Ive never ever been lost ! Confused for a few day .But never lost .

Years ago Ben east was a well known writer for outdoors life Mr East wrote many stories of survial .Ive read his writings over and over in my life .Robert Service Another well know writer wrote a story --To build a fire ! sounds easy ?

Over the many yerars ive lived here in alaska i make it a point to study maps of areas i wish to explore .Makeing myself remember many notable points that could guide me back to camp or safety.I write this story tonite to maybe remind others how easy it is to get lost with out being prepared .

My freind and his family were out last week end on a bear hunting trip .the atv broke down away from camp .the younger boys strted walking back to main camp and got lost .my freind looked all night for his boys ,Not knowning what had happened .Next morning with sun up the boys were found no worse for the wear. Cold ,wet and hungry .

Now ! Here is the topic of this story ! What do you carry in your back pack ,pocket ,car or truck that would help you stay alive in any condition ?

As you read this please write as reply to this your ideas for all to share .only remember that what may be good tool for you may not be good for someone elses survial kit .

looking forward to this subject to be interesting and informational for all

05/01/2008 19:16:43 man i got to much info.here is the key factor for all of this.you must know when to admit to yourself that YOU ARE LOST,if you do not put a plan into affect you are in trouble...you must know how long you have to take action,i give teams 1/2 an hour to build a shelter and have a fire started.and i tell you what you are really moving to get this done with two people.if you are by yourself i would say you will need an hour or more to get this done.time is your enemy when your lost,think this through i need fire wood and lots of it,i have to stay dry and warm,a short cut for your shelter is a good tarp this should be a good size one also remember it will need to go over a log or limb and back to the ground on both side's and be large enough for you and your hunting partner if you have one, you will need rock's or logs all the way along the bottom to keep it from blowing in the wind..remember whats not in your pack you must find in time to keep yourself alive..

05/01/2008 14:55:02 had to add something.why i say go practice building a shelter is this is gonna tell you what you really need for yourself,and not what we are gonna tell you what you will need.as cariboucreek said this will vary depending on where you live and hunt..just remember to bring it with you.. it will do no good at all for you if you dont have it..but knowledge of what to do is the most important thing of all.
