FAQ
What is your most valuable survival tool in case you get lost?
The compass shows us the direction north. It also tells us how far we've traveled since our beginning point. The compass might not always be able to show you the right direction if you are traveling in a place with mountains. The compass can usually tell you where you are if you are on a flat surface.
If you don’t have a map or compass, an object like a stone or tree could be used as a reference. You would still need to find a landmark to orient yourself by, but at least you'd know which direction was north.

What is the first thing you should do in a survival situation?
In an emergency situation, you must assess the situation first. You need to know what is happening around you, where you are and how you got there.
Knowing what to expect from your environment is important. For example, if you're in the middle of nowhere, you may not be able to use any form of communication.
You don't need to know everything if you don’t have any knowledge.
It is best to seek immediate help if you are in danger. But if you're not in immediate danger, it might be worth taking some time to gather information to determine what happened.
How to remain calm and composed in a survival situation
You will do well in almost any situation if you have patience and calm. In a survival situation, it is easy to panic, especially if your only option is to stay put and not be contacted by anyone. However, staying calm and patient will help you deal with any situation.
You cannot alter the outcome of a situation. Only you can change how you react to the situation. This will allow you to feel great about yourself, even if you don't achieve everything you want.
It is essential to keep calm and collected in an emergency situation. This means being prepared mentally and physically.
Mental preparation includes having a clear goal in mind and setting realistic expectations for yourself.
Physical preparation includes ensuring you have enough food and water to last until rescue arrives.
Once you have done both of these things, you are free to relax and just enjoy the experience.
What is the main difference between a knife with a fixed blade and a knife that folds?
Folding knives fold down compactly so that they can fit into a bag or pocket. When not in use the blade folds away.
Fixed-bladed knives can be used during normal use. They are usually longer than folding knives.
Fixed-blade knives are more durable but less portable.
Which is the most critical item for survival
Food is the most vital thing for survival. Shelter from the elements is as important as food. If you don’t eat, it will be difficult to live long.
How do I pick the right knife?
It's not easy to pick the right knife. There are so numerous brands out there that claim they are the best.
Which one is the best? How do you decide between them?
First, think about the type of tasks you will be using your knife for.
Are you going to slice bread, cut wood, skin animals or chop vegetables?
Is the knife meant for hunting or fishing? Is it intended for camping cooking, or kitchen cutting?
Is it going to be used to open bottles or cans of beer? Do you plan to open boxes or packages?
Does your knife need to be strong enough to withstand heavy loads?
Consider cleaning it after each use. Are you planning to wash it often?
Is it necessary to keep its edge over time?
