pack light ,
this cant be emphasised enough .

a hammock is a great starting place when building your kit unless ypu suffer from night terrors ,
you will need a tarp and lots of paracord see 50shades of grey for more details .

having picked a lightweight shelter you can now move on to other essentials like a 3ft axe
two picnic chairs a cafetiere and carry out
dont forget all this (around 30lbs ) weight and bulk must fit into a 20ltr rucksack
along with extra clothes food water and ghetto blaster .

pick a remote spot at least 50yrds from a b road and prep the site into what looks looks like a bark mulch covered play area for kids
then prep your wood (no that might come ltr though ) into carefully sized logs and put kettle on ,
now assemble shelter and put up picnic chairs
near fire ,
have a coffee take some pics to share with others showing off great landscapes of sheer wilderness or maybe not .

its great in the wilds nothing to remind of you of civilisation since you left the car 50yds away ,
at night the peacefull sounds from your music
should block out passing traffic and give you that real sense of being alone in the wild .

exausted after a long trek hauling all that ultra
lightwieght gear its time to get into your hammock and spend the night with your knees
in your face while the noise of paracords creaking and the gentle threat of rain or collapse lulling you sleep you can say to yourself i am one with nature i can survive .

next ,emergency medical proceedures .

Classic

I like you being here already

re emergency procedures ,
i have been infoemed not to discuss surgical procedures however i will say this much in my deffence ,
imodium and morphine packaging is very similar at 3am on a dark isolated roudabout
and amputation will fix a broken toe and even the arrestng officers even aplauded my tennacity and ressilience at completing the task with a tazer dart in my back .

moving on,
pack a good first aid kit the internet is your friend and theres many fake or placebo as i call them aka hollistic by proxy drugs availible
for the survivalist ,
must haves are antibiotics and pain relief ,
rule of thumb is after trying all the antibiotics if the patients still screaming at night and keeping you awake and giving away your location start popping painkillers in their tea .

broken limbs can be extremely tedious for others having to carry your pack be expexted to be left behind or force fed tea ,
isolating a dammaged friend. s. arm (wink )
ia a matter of urgencey if calm ia to be maintained and a cool head is required when
.nursing an injured companion hysteria causes
blood pressure to rise further conplicating things and the temptation of a humane dispatch is high however this is to be discouraged , therefore a cool head with foresight reacts at once , no delay ,
leaving someone behind might sound harsh but sometimes its the only way to get a nights sleep (for the injured guy wink ) try saying your going on for help faster on your own etc leave them somewhere they will be found
you just saved a life .

cuts and slashes are easily dealt with using a bandage and a running bowline knot or slipped half granny reefer .


next ,
food trapping or canned ?

Things I always carry in my backpack for a overnight camping trip or when on a exploring day hiking trip.
Several Bic lighters
Two water bottles with electrolyte type drink
Mosquito net and insect repellent
Lightweight ground tarp
Trail mix and a few canned food items
Compass
Extra belt
Compression bandage with tape
Flashlight and a few candles
Extra set of keys separate from your body and in your pack and with a floating type key ring on them
Map of the area
These items stay in my pack or are attached to them small knife,cell phone,personal items such as keys and are usually kept in my belt pack which has four compartments, large knife on my pants belt,the one item that is a problem at times to carry is my canteen gets awkward.
But in a state park water is available,and knowing where it is located is your first priority

A few things I forgot to mention that can turn out to be desperately needed starting with a pair of binoculars,I carry mine and it is like a better pair of eyes,and can be used to see potential hazards ranging from people,animals,etc.. next is a extra fully charged cell phone battery,an ace wrap bandage is also a handy item if your twist a ankle.Oh and a small rubber inflatable pillow is really a pleasure to have and needed if you like to take naps out in nature and fresh air.

Other more serious items you may need to carry is your business,but they should be considered by you if your in a potentially dangerous area from the possibility of a dangerous animal attack or for some other reason.
