Nothing will happen… that is what we think almost every day. From astronauts to bank clerks, we all think that life is infinite and no problems will arise. But then, things happen; anyone can suffer an accident, now we have rampant terrorism at hand courtesy of cruel and incompetent leaders, and not even during holidays we can say that we are absolutely safe. Of course, we don't have to assume that modern life calls for helmets and trenches; it's not that bad, but there are times, especially when we assume more risks than usual, that call for prudent action and thinking.

Extreme sports and outdoor activities imply some risks; there is no point in denying that. At the very least, we may get lost in the wilderness. So, having some sort of insurance policy is always advisable, especially for those who love radical sports.Of course, you can find an insurance agent and put your signature in some of those fancy forms; however, there is another way to purchase safety in the event of trouble, and that is learning survival and equipping yourself so that if such a problem arises, you will be adequately prepared.

Survival items should be included in every excursion; at the most basic level, you will do with a good knife and something to start fires. You can start a fire without matches, indeed, or build yourself a stone or flint sharp weapon, but unless you are already experienced with survival techniques, it would take you too long. You could add to that a first aid kit, some high-energy food, a compact blanket and some sort of rain proof garment - a poncho, maybe -; other items will help, but before purchasing everything on the shelf, we recommend you to gain experience with what you already have, and build your survival kit over time, based on your own experiences and needs.

For some people and situations, carrying an assault rifle may be indispensable for survival, perhaps adding a couple of grenades would make them even fell safer, and believe it or not, they may actually need those. For most people that will not be the case, but those living in the desert will certainly need different things that required by tundra dwellers. Remember that adding gear to your backpack increases its weight and bulkiness; don't carry too many things.

Besides, survival gear should always be at hand, and should be carried in your pockets, and not in your backpack. If you get lost, or if you suddenly can't find your rucksack, what would you do?So take your time and pick your survival gear carefully; these are not toys or consumer gadgets, but your life may depend on them.
