Survival kit - must have, never use
Imagine you're walking across Canada and suddenly, by mistake, you lost your backpack with all the equipment. Will you cry? How can you find yourself in a difficult situation? The backup plan is always the survival kit - something small, like a box with all you need to survive, get to the civilisation or indicate the position to be rescued. Here I present you my survival kit.
