Living conditions in the wild are not always optimal. A minor or serious injury can happen quickly, and you need to be prepared. With such preparation, you can be sure of prompt treatment and avoid complications. In the event of a serious injury, a comprehensive military first-aid kit could save your life while you wait for the emergency services to arrive.
Prepare a complete military first-aid kit with at least :
- Care accessories: wipes, cotton pads, scissors...

- A splint and elastic straps
- A triangular scarf
- Bandages and an Israeli bandage

Rope and string
You may not have thought about it, but having a rope comes in handy in many situations. Mountaineering, climbing, zip-lining... Depending on the location of your mission, a rope can be used in many different ways. It can also be used to tow and move heavy objects. The rope is a really useful piece of equipment for any soldier going on an excursion!
Choose a multi-purpose rope, suitable for all situations: semi-static rope is an excellent choice. You can also choose a corded survival bracelet. This type of jewelry allows you to carry around 3 to 4 meters of rope on your wrist: it's very useful. It's the essential accessory for adventurers in hostile terrain!
Fishing tackle
When food becomes scarce in the field, fishing gear can quickly save the day. Before setting out on a mission, practice with your equipment so you know how to use it when you need it. Fishing is not a very difficult task and you should be an expert very quickly.
For your military fishing gear, bring :
- A fishing line
- Several hooks
- Swivels
- Pellets
- And a lure with hook
A survival blanket
In your military survival bag, remember to pack a survival blanket. This blanket thermoregulates the human body's temperature to cool or warm it in all circumstances. The survival blanket lives up to its name and saves lives in the event of hypothermia or hyperthermia in a soldier. It's sure to become your ally in the field!
For your choice of survival blanket, we advise you to opt for a reusable survival blanket in your military survival bag.
A flashlight
In a cave or in the dark of night, a flashlight is indispensable during a mission. With a flashlight, you can not only light your way, you can light your way too.
If you know Morse code, the flashlight can also be used to send a message from a distance in the event of danger or difficulty.
