To live in the wild forest. What to prepare... What should I pay attention to?

When traveling or exploring in the wild, in addition to those professional equipment, it is also recommended that you bring a small wilderness first aid box (or you can also call it "wilderness survival box"). Don't look at it small, in critical moments may play a big role.

Box:

It is best to choose an aluminum or stainless steel lunch box (preferably with a handle). This is because the lunchbox itself can be useful for heating, carrying water or melting snow. Plastic lunchboxes are light, but they cannot be heated, so their use is limited. At the same time, the metal lid of the lunch box can be used as a reflector, which can be used to signal for help in critical situations.

Utility knife:

In the field, a utility knife is absolutely necessary. Although you don't have to use a jungle knife like Rambo, a Swiss Army knife is essential. In addition to the integration of conventional knife, screwdriver, scissors, there are saws, screwdrivers, files, etc., and even with a magnifying glass!

Needle and thread bag:

Whether it is the era of the Long March of the Red Army or the modern army, the needle and thread bag has always been the army's field essentials. Of course, the function of the modern needle and thread bag has not only the original simple sewing, needles can not only pick thorns, can be bent into a fishhook in some cases, improve food, and even save lives (of course, your needle and thread bag must be equipped with at least two fishing line).

Matches:

In the wild, fire is almost everything. It's important to bring windproof and waterproof matches, but if you can't get them, you can DIY some yourself. The method is very simple: melt a candle and apply it evenly to a regular match, and when you use it, remove the wax from the match head. In order to make the best use of our DIY matches' strong windproof and waterproof function, you can put them in an empty film box. You can't forget the phosphorus skin (which is used to polish the matches), otherwise our DIY efforts will be in vain.

Candles:

A small candle is definitely useful in the field. The flashlights, headlamps, and other modern lighting devices that you bring with you become obsolete as the batteries run out. This time the candle will show its "hero". In addition to lighting, candles can be used to keep warm (but don't mistake your fingers for potatoes) and to start a fire. If you cut off the bottom of a mineral water bottle into a lampshade, you have a wind lamp for field use, it is "power" enough, the efficiency of the work is also much higher.

Survival Whistle:

In fact, it's just a normal whistle, but in the wild, the role of the whistle is not just a black whistle blown on the field. Now it can save your life. When you are in danger, you can use the whistle to attract rescue, or scare away some small beasts (but if it is a tiger, bear and other beasts, not squeak is the best choice).

Aluminum film:

This is a 2x2 meter aluminum film, gold and silver. It not only protects against wind and rain, but can also be set up to make a pergola to prevent direct sunlight. In cold areas, you can use it to wrap yourself to maintain body temperature. The biggest role of aluminum film is reflective, so that rescuers can find you in time. You can also use it as a mat on the ground.

North compass:

Even if you have a GPS and your watch has an electronic compass, some kind of primitive north compass is still essential. In the wild, no one can guarantee that the advanced equipment will not go wrong, then, a small compass can help you find your way home.

Medical tape:

Don't underestimate any of these gadgets, they're the fastest way to fix things. It's useful when your coat gets scratched and your tent gets blown apart. Although its basic function is to attach gauze, use your imagination a little and you'll find it can be used for much more.

Dovetail clips:

Although they are common office supplies, they can be useful in many unexpected situations in the field. It has been used to clip broken backpack straps, pants with open threads, and shoes with the soles off. ...... Although we don't want it to work, it may be useful to have a few more.

Pencils:

What kind of pen do you use when you want to write something in the wilderness? Parker? No, the most expensive is not necessarily the best. The harsh environment of the wilderness makes pencils our best and only choice. We recommend a pencil of 2B or higher

Paper:

Preferably Post-it notes, preferably white.

A few bottles:

Put salt, fructose, and vitamin C. These are the most important foodstuffs that can be a lifesaver in a crisis.

Finally, it is recommended that you put a waterproof sealing bag on the outside of the first aid box (a household refrigerator sealing bag can be, if you have a professional waterproof bag, it is more of everything.
