Chances are you've gone out unprepared. Lots of people do. Then something unexpected happens like bad weather, getting lost, an injury, an animal attack, a fall, a bad fall, or the like. Then your "day trip" turns into a survival situation. And Murphy's Law says this will all happen when you have no cell phone contact.

So we're going to go prepared with a SAWC-focused Nutnfancy Survival Kit! Much philosophy ensues in this video series because people will get confused exactly what this kits is supposed to do for us. Some take the silly caveman approach and go out unprepared as possible to prove their manhood. Others integrate stupid, heavy stuff they'd never really carry. We'll be a bit smarter here while covering critical bases.

As my story telling and philosophy interweaves in the series, I will cover each item in the Dayhike Survival Kit (DSK) . My kit has changed over time as new technology produces lighter, more capable survival items. We'll cover Signaling, Shelter, Fire, Tools, Lighting, and more. The Nutnfancy FAK concept is different and is covered in the vids below btw and in future updates.

Our goal here isn't to spend more time with limited supplies in the wilderness. You can do that some other time (like many YouTubers do). Instead we will accept the discomfort of a survival situation, get our priorities organized, take care of immediate needs, and focus on summoning help to get back home.

So here's another fun and informative WILDERNESS SYSTEMS PHILOSOPHY VIDEO SERIES only made possible by Elite TNP Donors that make this work worthwhile for me!

Glad to see I'm not the only one to use a compass that you can get a bearing with. 😅 I learned orienteering in Army cadets and I loved doing Orienteering as a kid. One of my prized possessions for years was an expensive (at the time) Canadian Army Silva compass that I got for Christmas when I was 16. I broke it several years ago but I still pack one with a sighting mirror. I know it's stupid to carry around but it used to be a huge part of my life.

I got an olight Warrior mini 2 in Orange a few months ago and I can't agree more. Fantastic light. I also bought Olight's new USB multi charging dock and I love that as well.
