Sense left Minnesota in 2004, to live a life in the mountains, I had to create myself in survival techniques, my wife, children, me and our dog would be safe. Different abilities cold, I had to the fact that conditions can change very quickly in the mountains, the bright and sunny to rainy and foggy deal in minutes.
Every time we walk in the mountains, no matter how close or far from home we go, we always take our survival kit. Their survivalThe kit should be carried in waterproof, durable, lightweight and can be easily connected to your body.
The survival kit should have:
1 A good first aid kit (more details later in this article)
2 Water treatment
3 From Fire (equivalent in impermeable containers, light, magnifying glass and I also bring a newspaper to make a fire easier)
4 Shelter materials (tarpaulins, heavy, heavy cable)
5 A mirror and whistle (to use the sun to helpSignal planes, people).
6 General purpose
7 waterproof poncho
8 Compass, GPS and know how to use them!
9 Angling and hooks.
10 Flashlight, candles
11 Bear Spray

August 13 and thread.
14 Solar Blanket
Chap Stick 15

17 Coleman 5-Peace pots. (With 8 "spoon, 16 oz pot with lid and 2.5" Oz cup, 7 deep-dish plate.
18 Condoms (for storage and transportWater)
19 I also carry a weapon, and preferably.45 to take a S & W 460 pistol. (Frankly, it is to have a better idea of spray on blacks bears, grizzly bears and mountain lions used. I do not know many people who get fast enough and accurate enough to kill in excess).
20 Food, we always have a couple of granola bars, beef jerky and nuts.
21 clothing in cold weather
I keep all my elements of survival, with the exception of bear spray in a backpack. It 'easy to transport over longDistances and everything fits well and comfortably. If things were a bit 'wet to start, I put the bag in a plastic garbage bag. Bear spray is, of course, on my belt.
Before going into the desert, there is always a good idea to make your travel plan and stick to it. Not only that, probably always in groups of two or more going to check to see what the weather will be. Let people know where you're going and when you return.
Also, be realistic. Knowing what kind of shapeare not exercised over himself. You can exercise is great, but that people who lead from the mountains a bit 'awkward and unpleasant for your fellow hikers. No one wants to remain as "Mountain Rescue" in memory.
Always wear the right clothes is that time of year for the ascent. Remember that you can reach higher altitudes, the cold and got "wind" can be a real factor. Pack hats and gloves again and keep dry.
Knowing howfire! If you have questions, how to do it, I wrote an article "The Art of the Start Campfire -. For cooking, heating or stories to tell," will tell you step by step, how to start a fire on the first try every time.

21 The first-aid instructions
Encounters with animals, but rarely occurs. In the area where we live, there are blacks bears, grizzly bears, mountain lions, wolves and coyotes. I thinkleading spray is the best defense of a firearm, the government is certainly one of each type.
I'm not an expert when it comes to animal attacks, the biggest thing that chased me is a prairie dog, and I was. I met a lot of grizzly bears and a few blacks, but never had problems with them. I have to make more noise, so that commands a different dog and just talk out loud to make sure everything white to make in the woods that I am there. If you have good information that is useful to them, you goState Fish, Wildlife & Parks Department, has some great information.
One thing I do know that if you hike a mountain lion, almost always try to get the last person in line. As protector of our family is my job to be the last in line, with my wife and me as children. Similarly, nothing is close enough to them and always know where each other.
Make sure that if you have dogs that they are well trained and listen to yourCommands. Otherwise, keep on a leash, because you do not want your dog is always a bear or cougar and moved into attack position.
Two books that I have to keep on hand in case of emergency "Where There Is No Dentist" by Murray Dickson and "Where there is no doctor: a village health care handbook I" by David Werner. It may seem longer kill, but if the pain the first thing you want is relief.
If rapid protection, they need a roof is always quick and easy. Everything you needare two trees, some heavy string, some heavy and a towel. Check the wind direction, always in the back of the lean-to in the wind.
Stake the bottom of lean ground in the wind. Bring the cable up on the two opposite corners of the sheet and tie at the waist, around the trees. Line the bottom of the thin leaves, grass and pine needles from the cold earth comes in contact with your body to maintain.
For added protection againstWind and rain, find items that you can access the pages of the site, your roof felled branches, trunks and all you can find what you need. For greater stability may be a branch of the floor space and up to the cloth, tying the top of the industry and tarpaulin on the ground prior to cultivation.
There is always the possibility of things going wrong in the desert, but these few have helped to protect my family, while the beauty of the mountains.
