Numerous manufacturers offer so-called “survival kits” or “emergency sets”, which are designed for emergencies in the great outdoors. They consist of 10-15 different tool parts that are compactly packed in a small, waterproof, sturdy case and usually weigh less than 0.5 kg.
Choosing a survival kit is a personal matter. Some of these kits are basic, so they’re better suited to those who don’t go beyond just hiking. Others seem designed to take on the craziest and most unforgettable adventures AND disasters which is what we are here for.
