What's In your
Pocket
You
should have
signaling device like a whistle and a flashlight. Also a knife and at least three
ways to
make a
fire, a
lighter, matches and a flint. A bandana
and
something to eat like hard candy or power bar.
These
things are not
to be confused with what is in your hasty pack!
These are for your pocket and are to be duplicated
in your hasty pack. These Items are
not picked at random, these
are essentials to your survival. Your
ability to communicate for
a long period of time is enhanced with the
whistle. Keeping warm with a fire is
life itself. Seeing in the dark for
short intervals
can mean the difference between life and death.
Pick your items for
your pocket carefully and know how to use them!
