EDCS Grab Bag – 48H
R12,800.00
The EDCS Grab Bag is a functional 48-hour survival kit, that forms part of a Layered Survival System*. This Pack can be pushed to a 72-hour system if one are competent is survival skills. The strategy behind the bag focus on the three main priorities, regardless of the situation, these priorities does not change. This makes the kit functional no matter the situation as the basic priorities are covered:
- Immediate (Metabolic) Needs – Core Temperature | Hydration | Calories
- Preventative Needs – First Aid | Navigation | Signal
- Supplemental Needs – Tools | Maintenance | Repair.
The Shelter System functions around the following: something to sleep on; something to sleep in & something to sleep under. With this in mind & the multi-application of these items, inclusive of a already set-up Ridge Line, one cover the Core Temperature control. (this does not include personal clothing items)
The Fire Kit (system) provides at least 3 methods of starting a fire, which lends itself to the Core Temperature need, as well as, Calorie intake (food prep), Signal & Water purification (hydration).
The Water Kit allows for 2 ways to purify Water (hydration), outside the fire application. The 2 options are focussed on providing water whilst staying mobile.
The provision of Subsistence, places an emphases on Calorie intake without the specific need to start a fire to prep food: Meal, Ready-to-Eat. Considering that there may not be time to stop to make a fire or fishing, dependant on if it is non-permissive environment or not.
The Trauma & First Aid Kit concentrate on covering the basics with proper medical gear, still being mindful of cost. The Navigation Kit is considering 1 add-on to your own GPS or Mobile Phone, which an be used for navigation. It is however highly recommended to obtain a map of the local area – the compass & map is more for redundancy.
The Tool Kit in correlation with the Survival Tin completes the Repair & Maintenance side of the needs, inclusive of basic tools required to survive. Communication Kit allows (suggested gear) for power supply to your Signal, Navigation & Comms gear. As well as the non-electronic items for comms in an emergency situation.
