They are very lightweight and compact and make great back-up water collection and storage containers. They make amazing water containers – capable of holding about 1 liter of water each. 2 NON-LUBRICATED CONDOMS: By design, condoms are water tight.Bank lines can be set at night to work while you rest. Not only can these items be used for fishing but the line can also be used as cordage for shelter building, gear repairs or animal snares. FISHING KIT: This kit includes 20 feet of 30 lb test line, 5 assorted fish hooks and 3 sinkers.Some of the most practical are poncho, water collection, ground tarp, make shift shelter, solar still and flotation device. TRASH BAG: A trash bag has a myriad of survival uses.The reflective metal also makes an excellent signaling device. This container can also be used for other cooking tasks as well as water collection. Boiling water is a 100% effective method of water purification. It can be used to boil water which kills bacteria, virus and cysts. A metal container is INVALUABLE in any survival scenario. 4”圆” ALUMINUM BAKING PAN: Available at any grocery store, this aluminum bread pan can be folded flat for compact storage.Below are the items that I included in this kit and why.
#The ultimate compact key holder and multi tool combo driver#
To remove the rubber butt plate I use the cross point driver on the multi-tool. Next I assembled a variety of survival kit items to be stored in the butt stock compartment. Not only are these EXCELLENT rescue signals but they can also be fired into a prepared fire pit to start a fire. They are the perfect signaling solution to a shotgun survival kit. These flares fire over 300 feet and can be seen for miles. These are specialty Signaling Flare rounds designed for 12 gauge shotguns. You are probably wondering what the short orange rounds are. I also added a side saddle shell holder and a screw on stock mount shell holder which together extends my total capacity to 19 rounds of ammunition. I filled the magazine and the chamber which holds 7 + 1. Because of these 2 considerations (hunting & self defense) I wanted to carry as much ammo on the gun as I could. Not only is a pump action shotgun a proven deterrent, but it also has some serious knock down power. It’s easy to imagine the need for a self-defense weapon in an urban or wilderness survival scenario – defending you or your family from man or animal. In addition to hunting, a shotgun is an excellent self defense weapon. I knew I would want to add on some of these ‘extras’ to increase ‘survival value’. In this step is a photo of the shotgun ‘off the shelf’ before my survival modifications. I chose the Mossberg brand because it is a very popular gun and there are literally 100’s of aftermarket modification pieces and parts designed to fit this gun. I chose a pump action because it is easier for me to troubleshoot and work on in the field compared to other models. The shotgun platform I decided to use is the Mossberg 500 – PUMP. They are:Įvery survival kit must include contents that directly or indirectly meet these 5 basic survival needs. Ultimately your survival needs fall into 5 main categories. Below is what I did as well as the survival logic behind each decision. My challenge was that everything had to be included in or on the gun itself – no extra pack items or containers. For this project I decided to build a survival kit using a shotgun platform – creating the Ultimate Survival Shotgun.
I’ve built survival kits using film canisters, candy tins, key-rings, boxes, bottles, tubes, bags and everything in between. I enjoy the challenge of fitting life saving survival necessities into small compact containers. I’ve always enjoyed building survival kits of all shapes and sizes. I’m fortunate in that I’ve been able to turn my passion into my profession – this being the study of Survival and Preparedness. This article highlights one of those projects. Occasionally, though, I like to take on survival projects that are just down right fun. As a Survival and Preparedness instructor, I take my line of work very serious – sometimes too serious.
