GENERAL PRIORITIES OF SURVIVAL
Remember the general priorities of survival
Shelter Fire Water Food
Many survival tins are packed with bits
of kit that you will probably never need and have an over reliance on
"food" (least important aspect). The vast majority of situations you
will find yourself in is when it is cold and wet so we have found that
if you rely on the first two - Shelter and Fire you will not go far
wrong
Shelter - You will die of exposure in a matter of hours.
Fire - Goes hand in hand with shelter, warmth and probably more immediately important is it's signal capabilities.
Water - goes without saying but many people have been known to survive days without water.
Food - The least important aspect as you can survive for weeks without food.
Remember the rule of 3's
You can survive for 3 Minutes without air (oxygen) or in icy water.
You can survive for 3 Hours without shelter in a harsh environment (unless in icy water)
You can survive for 3 Days without water (if sheltered from a harsh environment)
You can survive for 3 Weeks without food (if you have water and shelter)
