If you're looking for a serious survival kit, then look no further.  The team here at Survival Gear BSO has hand-picked these top notch items to build a survival kit that covers the 9 of the 10 C's of survival, along with water filtration, has a few comfort items, and will stand up to the test of time - a Mora Knife, MIL-TEC Poncho, UCO Stormproof Matches, Zippo, Black Beard Fire Stick...and more!

Cutting Tool

The Mora Garberg stainless steel knife boasts a full tang, Scandinavian grind, heavy-duty 3.2mm thick 14C28N Sandvik Steel blade purposefully designed for bushcraft.  Mora made both the pommel and the blade spine, fire-steel ready.  The sheath is a black leather, belt-looped sheath with snap safety enclosure.

• Blade Thickness: 0.125" (3.2 mm)
• Blade Length: 4.3" (109 mm)
• Total Length: 9" (229 mm)
• Net Weight: 9.6 oz. (272 g)

Also in the cutting tools, we have the 14" German Style Hatchet by the Italy-based company Prandi.  Founded in 1969, these guys have been forging axes and hatchets for more than 50 years and have rapidly risen to one of the more well-known and highly trusted brands on the market today. Beautifully forged with a hickory handle. 

Combustion Device

The classic American-made Zippo lighter! Standard Lighter perfect for any survival kit. These world famous lighters are made in the USA, feature wind resistant lighting and an unconditional lifetime guarantee. Regular Zippo’s measure 2 1/4" x 1 7/16". Due to shipping restrictions, we cannot ship the Zippo lighter fluid. This can be readily found at pretty much any local smoke shop or even your local gas station. You'll also have a single BIC lighter included with your kit.

Without a doubt you're also safe with a pack of matches, but not just any old pack of matches. The UCO Stormproof Matches come in a pack of 25 and stay lit for up to 15 seconds.

Short on tinder? Not to worry. You'll be getting the hottest fire starter on the market today. The Black Beard Fire Starter stick is made right here in the USA. It's windproof, waterproof, has a shelf life of 100 years, non-toxic, odorless, Eco-friendly, and you can start around 50 fires with this twisted rope pumped full of non-toxic waxes and oils.

Cover

The MIL-TEC® Ripstop Poncho is a versatile and functional piece of gear perfect for a wide range of outdoor activities. This poncho is essentially a reproduction of the old-school military poncho. Made from Ripstop polyester, it is tough enough to stand up to the rigors of the trail yet lightweight and compact enough to pack away easily.

You're also covered with the SnugPak Jungle Bag.  Lightweight and made of Travelsoft insulation to keep you comfortable, SnugPak has added a roll-away mosquito net, which can be zipped over the face, sealing the sleeping bag from all manner of biting insects. Packing up to the size of a coconut, you'll find the features to be tactful in such a small sleeping bag:

Weight: 950g/2.1 lbs.     Comfort: 7°C/44.6°F     Low: 2°C/35.6°F

Features: Mosquito Net, Antibacterial

Color: OD Green or Coyote Tan - we do our best to give you OD Green. Color is depending upon availability.

Container

You're set with the Pathfinder Canteen Cook Set.  Size is 5" x 3.5" x 8.25" and 304 stainless steel construction that includes a 39oz wide-mouth canteen; 25oz nesting cup; nesting stove; and ABS cup lid with stainless steel insert and silicone ring seal. 

Cordage

There's no doubt that 550 lb. 7-strand mil-spec paracord is an absolute staple of anyone's pack.  With 100 feet of this paracord and a roll of duct - also included in the kit - you just might be able to build yourself a small house.

In addition to the 100' of paracord, we throw in a free backup piece of gear that can be worn on your person in case of an emergency. A trusty paracord survival bracelet supplies you with a few extra feet of much-needed cordage when you need it the most. You've got an emergency whistle, compass, and tiny ferro rod within the bracelet as well. 

Cotton Bandana

The shemagh is one of the most underutilized survival tools.  Aside from protecting your head and neck from the elements, they can be used to filter water, create a sling, medical purposes, and because it is made of 100% cotton it could be used to make char cloth if necessary. Measures 42" x 42".

Cargo Tape

As mentioned above, we've added a roll of Duct Tape because you know the old saying - "If you can't Duct it, F*** it!"  Seriously, though, with too many uses to even name this stuff is a must-have for any survival kit.

Compass

NDuR provides you with a liquid-filled, clear base plate compass, which makes it great for map use. The compass is situated on top of a rectangular base made of transparent plastic so a map can be read through it.  These functional elements work collectively to establish decisive direction for both short and long distances.

Candling Device

We absolutely love to blow the socks off our customers when they see how powerful the Rechargeable LED Headlamp is!

Features:

• Durable and Stretchable Headband
• Adjustable Silicone Lamp Shell
• Super Bright with 5 Light Modes w/ 350 lumens of brightness and 5 light modes
• Easy One-Button Operation
• Wide Range of Applications
  

A headlamp allows the user to have both hands free for more important tasks.  You'll find headlamps on the brows of rock climbers and campers, to sled mushers, utility workers, global peacekeepers, and emergency SAR teams all over the world. 

We've replaced the 10th C - Cloth Sail Needle - with a water filtration device from Sawyer Direct.  The Sawyer Mini is small, extremely lightweight, and is rated for 100,000 gallons of drinking water.  This little guy weighs 2 oz., attaches to the included drinking pouch, standard disposable water bottles; hydration packs, or use the straw to drink directly from your water source.  The filter removes 99.99999% of all bacteria (like salmonella) as well as other harmful bacteria which cause cholera, and E. coli, and 99.9999% of all protozoa such as giardia and cryptosporidium. These removal rates equal or exceed other filter options. EPA guidelines allow ten times more protozoa left in the water than Sawyer filters allow.

Your new Ultimate Survival Kit has a few comfort items as well.

Stay powered up, no matter where your adventures take you, with a Portable Solar Charger. Designed for the rugged outdoors, this charger packs a powerful 20000mAh battery, ensuring your devices stay charged during your hikes, camping trips, and survival scenarios.

Basic first aid was certainly not overlooked - a small, waterproof plastic First Aid box carries a few essentials for run-of-the-mill bumps, cuts, and bruises. 

Throw all of this gear in the 30 Liter M.O.L.L.E. tactical pack with a cool Survival Gear: Bushcraft & Survival Outfitters logo patch on the front, and you're prepared for the next adventure that Mother Nature throws in lap!
