My knife is going to assist me construct a shelter, cutting tree limbs, and branches in the woods for my lean-to or tripod shelter. Or possibly I’ll use my survival knife to dig out my snow shelter or a dugout. I would like to have something in the handle for starting a fire, matches, flint and steel, or a magnifying glass. My wilderness survival knife will help me be able to get water from vegetation or water I have to excavate for. I also would like to carry water purifying tabs or iodine. A few additional survival supplies I can put in the handle of my survival knife are a plus, needle, fishing line, fish hooks, gauze pads, and anything else useful. A wilderness survival knife that includes a sheath, sharpening stone, and a handle chock-full of survival supplies is a genuine advantage in a survival situation. Emergency survival and wilderness survival knives, as well as knife skills, choice of knives to carry is one of the most important aspects of survival. A knife will help you more than any other piece of equipment that you can carry in a survival situation. Today I'll recommend three knives that everyone who wants to be prepared for survival should own.
Don't select knives just on my recommendations, but on your own experience and skills, any knife is better than none.
The Victorinox Swiss Army Knife has been popular and successful for many years for good reason, it is one of the most useful tools ever invented. When you carry one in your pocket you have all the tools you'll need as a minimalist survivor. Build your shelter, one of many useful tools is the saw blade, it will easily cut branches or trees with up to 3-inch diameter. A minimal shelter can be constructed using your survival knife to cut three branches and set them up like a tripod. You'll need one straight branch about 2ft. longer than you are tall, approx. 8ft. then two branches approx 4ft. If you have small forks in your branches at the top of the tripod you won't need to lash them, although lashing is preferred. Push the bottoms of the tripod branches into the ground enough that they won't slip and if you can find something (rope, twine, vine, roots) to lash or tie the top do it. Lean more branches and twigs on the sides, then pile on leaves until you completely cover the tripod about 1ft. thick. OK, there is your shelter, now you're going to need fire and your knife has a magnifying glass, or flint use it to save matches, lighter fluid, and other fire-starting equipment whenever you can. Prepare your fire pit far enough in front of the shelter that you can easily pass and you won't catch the shelter on fire, 10ft. is enough unless you have high winds. Be safe start your fire further away if you have to. Once you have a good bed of coals you can heat rocks and move them to your shelter, if you need more warmth. Now think about water use your knife to carve a bowl or cup, any carved out hollow that will hold water. You will find many more uses for your wilderness survival knife. Get it and start carrying one now. I would like to hear from you please leave your comments Emergency Survival - Wilderness Survival Knife post Thanks
