Survival Kits

Survival Kits

Hatchet

• I chose the hatchet as my first choice,
  because the hatchet could do many things. I could
  use it to help make fire, a spear, a bow and
  arrow, cut wood for fires, and be used for
  hunting. Hatchets are important, because the
  hatchet could be used for more than one thing. I
  think that if I had a hatchet in the woods, I
  would be safer, because it could scare away
  animals by its sharp edges that could kill them.
  It is important to keep a hatchet at all times,
  because it could cut hard things such as
  aluminum.

Matches

• Matches are important because they could help
  me make fires. The fire that the match made could
  scare away many animals that come to my shelter.
  The good thing about matches is that I could be
  saved, because it could create a signal fire. The
  signal fire is to help rescuers find that people
  who are lost, and they would rescue you. I chose
  the matches for one of the items to keep in a
  survival kit, because without matches, I would
  not be able to stay warm. Another good reason to
  keep matches in a survival kit is because if I
  dont have a match, I wouldnt be as protected,
  as the animals that live in the woods might come
  to my shelter.

Cook Ware

• Cookware is important, because I could cook
  food with and carry large amounts of water.
  Cookware is good because taking water with your
  hands is harder to do than carrying large amounts
  of water in the pan. It is also important to have
  cookware because you could use it to cook the
  food, so that you could stay in the wild for a
  long time. Brian used the cookware for making a
  stew dinner, by getting water from the lake and
  cooking the food with his fire.

5
Sleeping Bag

• The sleeping bag is important to me, because I
  could sleep comfortably in the wild. The sleeping
  bag is good to pack in a survival kit, because it
  could protect me from the insects that live in
  the ground. Sleeping comfortably in the wild
  would help me get a lot of energy to get wood for
  the fire. Being protected is important, because
  if I have a sickness I could die if I am not able
  to find food or gather wood. I think Brian should
  use the sleeping bag, because he could be
  protected from the mosquitoes.

First Aid Kit

• I would pack a first aid kit in my survival
  kit, because if I were hurt, I could cure the
  wound. The first aid kit would help me heal from
  a cut, from bleeding, and from broken bones.
  Curing a broken bone, bleeding, or a cut is good,
  because if I cure a broken bone, cut, or
  bleeding, I could still collect food and wood for
  the fire. Brian should have used the first aid
  kit, because he was hurt badly after the plane
  crashed into the lake, from the moose attack,
  from the skunk attack, and from the porcupine
  attack. The first aid kit would have Band-Aids,
  gauze for bandages, splints for broken bones, and
  creams for healing cuts.

7
Shovel

• I packed a shovel in my survival kit, because
  shovels could be used to build traps for animals.
  Another good thing about bringing a shovel in my
  survival kit is using it to make an underground
  storage. Making traps to catch animals is good,
  because the animal is trapped and I could kill
  the animal with a hatchet. Using a shovel to make
  an underground storage is good, because I could
  put things in the storage and protect it from the
  animals.

8
Fishing pole

• I would put a fishing pole in my survival kit,
  because I could use it to catch fish to eat.
  Another good thing about a fishing pole is that
  it could grab things that are deep down in
  something like a deep hole. The fishing pole
  could also lure animals, and then I could kill
  them with the hatchet. Brian could have used the
  fishing pole to catch fish. Brian could also have
  used the fishing pole to get his hatchet from the
  bottom of the lake. Brian could lure animals by
  adding food to the hook.
