Essential Survival Kit Items
Most common items to have in your survival kit. This can be your “go bag”, your “bug-out bag”, or even your daily survival kit for your car. If your journey brings you deeper into the wilderness, make sure to have a full kit.
Make sure you know how to use all the gear too! Practice when possible.
A great addition to have in the wilderness. If you run out of water, you can use this to drink from a stream that is otherwise undrinkable regularly. Thank God these are relatively cheap.
These matches are built to withstand heavy winds as well as getting wet. Check out their page for their product testing videos!
It’s got your choice of tourniquet: SWAT, NAR CAT, or TacMed SOF-T (the NAR CAT tourniquet is a good choice).

The Baofeng UV-9R Plus is a water-resistant solution for a ham radio without breaking the bank. Baofeng is a great Chinese alternative to the bigger brands. Their main product is the Baofeng UV-5R model (but this one is NOT water-resistant). If shopping on Amazon, make sure to buy from the MIRKIT vendor, as there are not as trusted other Chinese sellers on Amazon.
Watch the videos below to see tests for both radios.
