There are some things you don’t want to be caught without if you ever go camping and get stuck. Being stranded sucks plain and simple. Having camping survival gear can keep you from really getting into trouble in a strange situation. Camping survival gear is not expensive by any means. You can get a camping survival backpack for about $50 and it will provide you with a means to be rescued and keep yourself and anyone with you safe until you are found or find civilization.

We recently purchased a camping survival gear backpack for $60 from eBay. Our reasons for purchasing this backpack are more than just survival but boil down to pure survival indeed. We wanted to test one of these packs to see just how safe someone would be if they ended up stuck out in the woods or any other situation with JUST this pack. The main thing with this camping survival gear is that you can add to it and use only the survival pack on your trip. There is plenty of room for extra camping gear.

You could actually fit a small tent and sleeping bag, and even a change of clothes or two in with the survival gear. The gear that is in the pack is very basic for survival. You should be able to use JUST the pack to survive in any situation. There is enough food and water to keep you alive for quite some time. They recommend the pack for 72 hours but with my experience in survival techniques I will bet that you could go a week or even two with just what is in the pack if you are looking for rescue.

We will be testing the pack in the real world in a couple weeks. Check back for the results of those tests.
