Maximum Survivalist PSK (Personal Survival Kit)
This kit is designed to aid
you if you’re faced with a survival situation. It should remain on your person
at all times. It’s good to practice and familiarize yourself with the kit prior
to taking it out in the field with you.
The survival tin is painted
in a tactical color to help with camouflage for military personal. If you are a
civilian, affixing a brightly colored piece of tape will aid if finding your
kit if dropped in the wilderness. The tin can be used for boiling water or
cooking food in a pinch. The inner lid of the kit can be used as a signaling
device and can be polished with moist dirt to make it even brighter.
Everything chosen for this
kit has multiple purposes. Let’s talk about the contents and uses.
We chose a BIC Lighter
because of its reliability and after fuel runs out the flint can be used to
spark the Tinder Quik tabs. If you are injured having a one-handed fire
lighting device is critical, another reason why we chose the BIC. In the event
of a malfunction of the lighter, we have enclosed a fire steel. The fire steel
can be used with the razor knife to emit a shower of sparks onto your tinder.
The included tinder is Tinder
Quik tabs. They are waterproof and just need to be peeled apart on one end to
work. Inside the fishing kit is extra cotton tinder, its enclosed in the vial
to help with waterproofing. The Triple Antibiotic ointment can be applied to
the cotton tinder to help as a flame extender. The Duct tape can also be stripped
apart to be used as tinder with the lighter.
Signaling comes in the form
of a whistle. 3 short blast is the universal signal for help. This is a pealess
design that works well. As I mentioned above the lid of the tin can be used as
a signaling mirror. For night time signaling you can use the LED light
included.
The Button compass has been
added to help aid in navigation. Find a cardinal direction and head that way.
This will keep you from walking in circles.
The orange handled utility
knife is your cutting tool. Its handle will keep it getting lost on the forest
floor. It can be affixed to the LED light keychain to prevent it from being
lost. There is no substitution for a fixed blade knife and I suggest having one
of those on you as well.
The fishing kit can be used
to catch fish as well as small birds.
The paracord bracelet can be
taken out of the kit and worn daily if you so choose. It was designed to be the
cordage for this kit. You can construct a shelter with it, make a bow drill
fire kit, or used to make more fishing line by using the inner strands. Really
its uses are endless. The zip ties can also be used for gear repair or shelter
construction.
On the medical side, we’ve
included bandaids and antibiotic. To help with small cuts. There is water
purification tablets as well.
Hope that you never have to
use this kit in a real situation. But if you do I hope it serves you well.
