THE 10 C’s ARE THE BACKBONE OF ANY SURVIVAL PACK. I BELIEVE THE THE FIRST FIVE (5) ITEMS BELOW ARE ALSO ESSENTIAL TO YOUR SURVIVAL AND SHOULD BE PART OF YOUR PACK, ESPECIALLY IF YOUR COMMUTING DISTANCE IS OVER 15 MILES.
THE REST OF THE ITEMS ARE CONVENIENCE AND COMFORT ITEMS. IF YOU CAN CARRY THEM THEY WILL MAKE YOUR WAY EASIER. THERE ARE QUITE A FEW OF THEM. I LIKE TO MAKE THINGS EASIER. AFTER ALL….. I COMMUTE 5-50 MILES ON ANY GIVEN DAY.
COMMUNICATIONS – HAND CRANK RADIO

CALORIES – PACKAGED FOOD: Many of the items I’d like to carry have a short live span and I’d be constantly replacing food. So……I opted for long term food. I like this one because the food is individually wrapped. Consumed over 72 hours it is more convenient and much less messy that other long term packaged food. If I can get regular food from a market or convenience store …. all the better

- Us coast guard approved
- Made in U.S.A.
Emergency Water Pack – 3 Day Supply of Water Rations (6x4.2 oz Pouches). 5 Year Shelf LIfe USCG Approved.
I don’t carry water in my Container. I would have to change it out too often. So I carry several packs of water that is good for 5 years. It’s enough to get me to water so I can fill up my container. Call me lazy……I don’t care.
MANUKA HONEY: Only found in New Zealand. Batches of honey are sent to the University of Auckland or the University of Dresden for testing as this honey is rated on a graduated scale for its high anti-bacterial properties before selling. That’s why I carry very little in first aid. I can use cotton strips from bandannas for gauze, Manuka honey for wounds, and cargo tape for bandage adhesive. This Manuka honey is rated 100 to 800 for antibacterial strength. There are other rating systems. I put the honey into a squeezable travel tube for convenience.
COMPANION POUCH:
This is a must have if you are to carry the hand crank radio, 3600 calorie food package, and H2O packets. it has 2 straps for attaching to the water bottle.
