Going into the wilderness unprepared can be very dangerous. The reason, why the danger is high, is that the survival in the wilderness is higher since it is much easier for a person to find himself or herself in trouble. Hence one needs to be prepared for anything while in the wilderness. This is because even if one calls for help when in problems, he or she needs to survive until the help arrives. Without preparation for any situations one will end up dying easily before even the help arrives to save him. This is why one needs to know how to make a survival kit to go with to the wilderness. Here are the factors that must be considered when a person is preparing a survival kit.
While making a survival kit, something that must be considered is the place to be visited. The conditions of the place to be visited have to be known. The conditions might be cold, hot or wet. Hence these harsh conditions can be conquered with the use of the appropriate tools being included in the survival kit.
Also the experience of a person who wants to go to the wilderness must be considered too. The probability of a person getting himself in trouble is affected with the experience of that person in the wilderness. On the other hand, little experience with the wilderness can increase the probability of a person getting lost in the wilderness. hence one should be very ready for anything if he has a very little experience in the wilderness.
The number people that will go to the wilderness will have to affect the number of survival kits that a person will carry. More will be needed in the survival kit if the group is large. Also very few things will be needed if the group is very small. The survival kit will be one for a person who is going to the wilderness alone.
Also one will have to know which problems that he or he is more likely to be in. This can differ depending on the activity that one is planning to carry out. For example if a person is going for skiing, thing like hand warmers and other clothes may be needed in the survival kit.
The distance that one will be away from help will affect the preparation of the survival kit. This means that if a person is very far from help, he may need more time of survival before help arrives hence he should need more things in the survival kit. This will help a person survive longer before the help arrives.
