Exercise : Wilderness Mission : Kit Bag Preparation
Situation
...wohhh...!!...
Survival methods and resources are guided by the universal "Rule of Threes":
3 minutes without air
3 hours without shelter
3 days without water
3 weeks without food

...hearing 3...
...you got that 6...

...owhhh…

The most effective strategy prioritizes :
- protection through shelter
- acquiring safe water
- starting a fire
- establishing a positive mindset

Top Survival Priorities
Shelter & Warmth:
Cold is often the most immediate threat in outdoor survival.
Build an emergency shelter (like a lean-to or a debris hut)
to block wind and precipitation, and always insulate your
body from the ground.
Water Sourcing & Purification:
Dehydration clouds judgment quickly. Collect water from
flowing streams, seeps, or by improvising rain-catching
tarps. Always purify water by boiling for at least three
minutes, using purification tablets, or employing a
high-grade portable filter to prevent waterborne Illnesses.
Fire Craft:
A fire provides :
- warmth
- a way to boil water
- signaling capabilities, psychological comfort
Pack multiple ignition sources, such as:
- a ferrocerium rod
- waterproof matches
- a lighter
Prepare - tinder
- kindling
- larger fuel wood
to keep it going.

Clean Water Access
In the field, you must separate filtration (removing physical
dirt/turbidity) from purification (killing pathogens like Giardia,
bacteria, and viruses). Basic filters alone are not enough.
Always pre-filter dirty water, then follow up by boiling for at
least 3-4 minutes or by using chemical treatment.
1. Natural & Improvised Filtration
If you lack modern gear, you can clarify muddy water using natural
elements before boiling.
The Layered Filter: Construct a gravity-fed filter using a hollow
container (like a plastic bottle or rolled birch bark). Layer it f
rom bottom to top: cotton/fabric, fine sand, crushed charcoal (from
your fire), coarse sand, and gravel on top. This removes sediment and
odors.
Filter Bags: [ special purpose ] or tightly woven bandana/t-shirt can
steadily strain out microscopic debris when hung.
2. Commercial Bushcraft Filters
For quick, reliable water processing without building improvised
systems, compact modern micro-filters are the standard:
i. Straw/Squeeze Filters:
The Sawyer Mini Water Filter (0.1-micron hollow-fiber) weighs just
2 ounces and can be used as a straw or attached to pouches and gravity
systems.
ii. Gravity Systems:
The LifeStraw Peak Series Gravity Filter offers large 8L capacities,
making it excellent for bushcraft basecamps.
iii. Purifiers:
For absolute security against viruses, the Grayl Geopress Purifier
Bottle forces water through an electroadsorption media in just 8 seconds.

...and how much...?...
...at £75...!...
...oh...
...if you can afford...
...now what...!...
3. The Crucial Step: Purification
Boiling:
The gold standard in survival. Bring water to a rolling boil for 3
to 4 minutes to kill all pathogenic organisms.
Chemicals:
If boiling is impossible, use Chlorine Dioxide Tablets (e.g., Aquatabs
or Potable Aqua) to neutralize viruses, bacteria, and protozoa.
Iodine :For 2% tincture of iodine, add 5 drops per liter for clear water,
and 10 drops per liter for cloudy water. Let the mixture stand for
30 minutes. For cold water (below 59°F/15°C), wait 40 minutes.

Essential Preparation & Planning
The 5 C's of Survival:
Carry these five foundational tools:
1. Cutting tool : fixed-blade knife
2. Combustion device : fire starter
3. Cover : tarp or emergency bivy
4. Container : stainless steel cup or canteen for boiling
5. Cordage : paracord
Paracord thickness ranges from roughly 0.75 mm
for ultra-thin Nano Cord to 5 mm for heavy-duty
Type IV (750) Cord.
The most common standard, 550 Paracord (Type III),
measures about 4 mm in diameter and has a minimum
breaking strength of 550 lbs / 250 kg.
...won't that hold [ my ] two...!?...

Navigation:
i. Learn to use a base-plate compass and read topographic maps.
ii. For natural navigation, understand how to orient yourself using the stars,
sun, and local geography.
- Fixed Reference Points: Navigators relied on specific celestial bodies
that change very little in the sky, such as Polaris (the North Star) in the
Northern Hemisphere, or the Southern Cross in the Southern Hemisphere.
Signaling:
Know international distress signals, which involve six blasts
of a whistle or flashes of a mirror spaced one minute apart.

First Aid & Medicine:
Equip yourself with standard trauma management skills
1. Pain and Fever
Ibuprofen (Motrin/Advil): Ideal for sprains, muscle strains, and reducing inflammation.
Acetaminophen (Tylenol): Use for fever management or if you are allergic to NSAIDs.
2. Gastrointestinal (GI) IssuesLoperamide (Imodium): To control sudden bouts of diarrhea.
Antacids: For general indigestion or heartburn.
Oral Rehydration Salts (ORS): Crucial for recovering from diarrhea, vomiting, or heavy sweating in remote environments.
Antinausea: (e.g., prochlorperazine, or OTC alternatives) helpful if prone to severe motion sickness or dehydration-inducing vomiting.
3. Allergies and Anaphylaxis
Diphenhydramine (Benadryl): Antihistamine to treat mild to moderate allergic reactions and aid sleep.
Loratadine (Claritin) or Cetirizine (Zyrtec): Non-drowsy options for seasonal or environmental allergies.
Epinephrine Auto-injector (e.g., EpiPen): Mandatory if you have known severe allergies to insect stings
or foods.
...know my epiph…!...
...ohh…!...
…
...what that...?...
"...Ephedrine is a central nervous system stimulant and decongestant.
Because it is a potent stimulant, it can cause significant side
effects including increased heart rate, palpitations, elevated blood
pressure, and sleeplessness..."
- source: google.com
...oh that be our old stimulant...
...mad our ilk..
... and mad...!...
…
...don't repeat...!...
...will...
compare to amphetamine
"...Because amphetamine is more fat-soluble, it easily crosses the blood-brain barrier.
Ephedrine has a much harder time reaching the brain, leading to milder
central effects but stronger peripheral effects (like increased heart
rate and constricted blood vessels)..."

4. Environmental and Altitude Illnesses
Acetazolamide (Diamox): Prescription medication for preventing or treating altitude sickness.
Antibiotics: Consult your personal physician about broad-spectrum antibiotics for skin infections
(e.g., Cephalexin) or traveler's diarrhea (e.g., Azithromycin) before embarking on an extended or
remote expedition.
5. Essential Topical Medications
Antibiotic Ointment (e.g., Neosporin): To prevent infection in minor cuts and scrapes.
Hydrocortisone Cream (1%): For rashes caused by contact dermatitis, insect bites, or poison ivy.
Antifungal Cream: For foot fungus or persistent rashes in tropical/humid environments.
