rule of 3's
Aug 20 2008, 8:56 AM EDT ok, time to simplify this a good bit. we are planning this incase of zday, not a class 1 or 2 outbreak but massive 3 or 4. you gotta get out its not just for a couple days, you are going to have to SURVIVE in the wilderness so i bring to mind the rule of 3's as i state a rule i will post a few examples of what you will need to go with it You can die in... 3 min without medical attention as comprehensive of a first aid kit as you can get while keeping it light. take suchure kits-i simply go to the local hospital and ask for it, since its not medicinal i get it no problems duct tape-as good as as any bandaid if you thro a small piece of gauze on the middle over the wound gauze pads- get at your local walmart for 50 cents for 20 either hydrogen peroxide, iodine, or alcohol. i find alcohol easier to cary and a good fuel source for fire starting in a pinch so i am carrying a small bottle of rubbing alcohol. be creative, anything you MIGHT come across in the wild that can hurt you, figure out a cheap, small light way to take care of it and pack it in the first aid kit. 3Days without water this is simple folks, the average gallon of water weighs 8lbs. thats alot of weight to carry around on a long run. instead head somewhere where there will be water and filter it. they sell a stray to do this, or simply pack a couple paper coffee filters to filter out physical items and checmically/boil treat the rest of it. poof clean water less weight 3 weeks without food ALL SMALL FURRY MAMMELS ARE EDIBLE!!! you have a gun for protection from zeds (hopefully) hunt, pack some snare wire and trap. eat off the land 3zeds can overwhelm you. take 3 melee weapons as well as your trusty rifle and pistol (if you choose pistol) and train train train. become an expert at everything you got, and the best way to practice survival......CAMPING go to a national forest, tell the guy you which way you are going to find you in 3days and go 5 out of 5 found this valuable. Do you? |

Aug 20 2008, 9:00 AM EDT here is a link to more comprehensive information. http://www.m4040.com/Survival/Survival.htm he has the army survival guide there as well as ALOT of good information. read it, assimilate it, learn it, apply it, test it. see what works for you, what doesnt, and from there figure it out. this guy keeps a survival kit on his hip that theoretically could last him months and its the size of a small loaf pan. no food included, no tent, no sleeping bag, no water, but everything you need to survive. i have taken this and adapted it adding comfort to it and mine takes up a full bag, weight little less than 50 lbs, i can hike, i can run, and i can climb. i can live comfortably and survive as long as i need to by makeing a few sacrifices. great source of info Do you find this valuable? |
