- Matches

- Whistle
- Swiss Army knife
Step 3. Then put the following items together:

- First aid kit
- 1 meter of aluminum (for cooking, signaling and collecting water)
- Magnifying glass

- Scotch tape

Advice
- If you get lost, STOP. Stop, think, observe and plan. Use common sense.
-
Avoid wearing cotton.
Cotton soaks in water and makes clothing unsuitable for preventing hypothermia. Everything you wear should be wool or polyester.
- Perhaps the most important object that doesn't seem so obvious however is the whistle. Blowing into a whistle consumes far less energy than shouting and can be done for longer periods of time, to increase the chances of being saved.
- The insect repellent spray, sprinkled on the cotton ignites the fire.
Warnings
-
Never get lost intentionally.
Use common sense.
- Don't play with fire.
- Keep the kit away from children.
