Alpine Survival Kit Main Star

This is what I think needs to go in a basic survival kit (all stored inside a dry bag):

• pencil and paper
• whistle
• tin foil
• sealable plastic bags
• pocket knife
• torch
• cell phone
• water
• water bottle
• packaged food
• sunscreen
• bug repellent
• map
• gloves
• woollen hat
• water proof jacket
• survival blanket
• first aid kit

If you are going overnight tramping, you would need to take extra items like:

• sleeping bag
• bed roll
• hiking stick
• cooking and eating utensils
• spare warm clothes



Here are two websites to visit if you are going into the alpine environment for further information
