“If you were to take only one piece of kit on an outdoor expedition, it would be your knife. There’s an old saying: Carry a knife, save a life. I’d be lost without mine,” says Bear.
Always have an emergency stash, such as trail mix, a bag of nuts and granola or energy bars. “Put them in a small bag and wrap it all up tightly with masking tape so it’s like a solid brick,” says Bear. He likes to stow this at the bottom of his pack and if a day expedition turns into an overnight, he has some food ready.
These straws have built-in filters, so you can put one end into contaminated water, from anywhere, even a puddle, and you will be able to suck clean water out the top. Bear likes these as they are light, cheap and effective.
While Bear advises not to carry too much clothing, he says a warm, waterproof jacket is essential, for protection against the elements. “Try to choose one with waterproof zips, Velcro cuffs and an elasticated hem,” says Bear. “Above all, it needs to be lightweight.”
Always have a map in unfamiliar terrain. And while in an emergency you can find your way without a compass, bring a button compass for navigation.
You can use cord for lots of things, such as building a shelter, making a raft, lacing a boot, fishing, trapping, and even as an emergency tourniquet. About two yards should be good for a useful length that won’t take up too much space.
Always have a headlamp with you, and always check the batteries before you leave. Bring extra batteries or even two headlamps, just in case.
You can get small cans of liquid bandage spray, which is ideal for sealing small cuts as well as being antiseptic.
Bring a survival tincontaining Bear’s eight essential emergency items, and also pack a small first-aid kit.

Feb 13, 2023 · 1. The tin. The container itself is important. A tight-lidded tin—called a tobacco tin in some circles—keeps everything dry, which Bear ensures by keeping his sealed tightly with gaffer tape. Being metal, the tin can also be used as a container to heat a small amount of water over a fire, or to prepare tinder for your next campfire.
