Survival equipment kit

• Survival equipment kit packed in a 20 x 12 cm hard case with foam cut-outs, small enough for a glovebox or the lid of a daypack.
• Three ways to make fire with a large flint, four cotton tinders and a blower tube, which together get damp kindling to take.
• Navigation is doubled up with a brass flip compass in the case and a paracord compass bracelet on your wrist.
• Multifunction pliers, a wire saw and a card tool with a saw edge and openers for cutting, sawing and gripping.
• For light, signal and shelter there's a three speed torch, a whistle, a tungsten pen and an emergency blanket.

Survival equipment kit for fire, navigation and signal

A bushcraft weekend, a night exercise with cadets or a car that spends winter on unlit lanes all reward a box that is already packed. This kit fits fire, navigation, cutting and signal into a case measuring 20 x 12 cm. Fire is covered by a large flint, four cotton tinders and a blower tube, which is what gets damp kindling to catch. A brass flip compass sits in the case and a paracord compass bracelet stays on your wrist, so losing one still leaves you a bearing. There is a fishing set, multifunction cutlery for eating out of a mess tin, two carabiners and a hanging buckle for a water bottle, so the case clips to webbing rather than being dug out of a pack.
