Solkoa Suuma Survuval Kit.

[CharlesHarris]

I agree Sunna, most important are:

Always wearing adequate clothing for the expected weather. Having a windproof outer layer and a warm when wet insulating layer which can be wrung out, shaken out and put back on, if you get soaked is vital. Wool still works here!

Your kit should always have an extra warming layer, anorak or poncho, hat, gloves and extra dry socks in waterproof Alosak bag. Having extra dry clothing can be life saving in terms of conserving heat and keeping hands working to get fire.

Always carrying adequate, well proven EDC tools with you with which you have developed skill in using and confidence in from daily use is a great help.

Having "bomb proof" reliable fire starting kit which can be executed with cold hands is a life saver. Vaseline-Cotton Balls, a BIC lighter and ferro rod are primary. A hatchet or froe to make shavings and reduce wet wood to find kindling. Large contractor twist type pencil sharpener to make lots of shavings from smaller sticks.

Road flare is the OMG~! Cannot fail fire option.

A headlamp which burns at least 12 hours on one set of batteries for hands-free lighting to walk out or build a shelter, tend the fire.

Basic signals, whistle, torch, signal mirror, VS17 panel.
