We have one of the widest selections of outdoor and survival gear available, whether you’re a weekend camper, committed prepper, tactical gear enthusiast, or a casual person who like high-quality equipment. Our products cover a wide range of some of the most popular activities, including mountain climbing, bushcraft, survival situation preparedness and more. For example, we have a wide variety of carabiners and climbing harnesses to help you stay safe while bouldering or mountaineering. We even have everything you could need to put in a survival kit, like fire starters, emergency food, first-aid kits, multi-tools, paracord, and more.

What is the best basic survival kit?

The first thing you want to keep in any survival kit is emergency food and hydration supplies, like a water filter. While you can keep a gallon or two of water with you, it is much easier to have a water filter so that you can continue to have a fresh, clean supply. You’ll also want a medical kit that has plenty of bandages, antiseptic, scissors, gauze, and other supplies. For basic survival tools, make sure you keep a durable, sharp pocket knife, as well as a multi-tool, fire starter, emergency blanket, and a flashlight or headlamp. Finally, you’ll want a rechargeable or hand-crank radio so that you can get emergency information and contact emergency services.

What are the top factors to consider when purchasing outdoor gear?

When you’re purchasing outdoor equipment, one of the most important aspects to consider is your purpose. For example, if you’re going hiking through the woods, you need a reliable backpack to hold all your stuff, whereas you might not need this if you’re going car camping for the weekend. Similarly, the needs for rock climbing and mountaineering differ greatly than the needs of someone who just enjoys spending time outside. Next, consider the climate you will be in. In colder weather, you’ll want to dress in warm layers with insulated clothes that can trap your body heat inside and keep you safe.

Do you need both a survival knife and a multi-tool?

Generally, the answer is yes. While most multi-tools come with a pocket knife, the knife is usually small and may not be sharp unless you take the time to sharpen and maintain it regularly. Instead, when you’re putting together your survival equipment, it’s a great strategy to invest in a stainless steel survival knife that is separate from your multi-tool. This way, you can get a larger knife that is more versatile.
