Survival Items

Waterproof emergency sleeping bag that provides shelter from wind, rain, and cold. More durable than an emergency blanket.

Flexible water container that rolls up flat when empty. Essential for carrying treated water from source to camp.

Heavy-duty duct tape is the ultimate field repair solution — capable of patching tents, waterproofs, shelters, and gear in seconds. A survival kit staple that weighs almost nothing when wrapped around a pencil or card.

Compact thermal blanket that reflects up to 90% of body heat. Weighs under 60g and fits in your pocket.

Long-shelf-life emergency food bars provide concentrated calories when normal food supplies are unavailable. Compact, calorie-dense, and requiring no preparation or water to consume.

A wind-up or solar-powered emergency radio keeps you connected to weather warnings, emergency broadcasts, and rescue coordination when the power grid fails. Your lifeline to critical information.

A compact folding saw makes quick work of firewood processing and shelter building. Far more efficient and safer than a knife for cutting branches and small logs in UK woodland.
