Putting Your Core Kit Together

Three great young guys embarking on a journey! 

We are really happy to have a part in it with them.

So now that the orientation class is behind us it is time to work on putting our kits together to be ready for the next class. We will be utilizing the contents of our kits in the next class. 

For the next class your kit needs to include …

1.  Tarp, ground cover, blanket, leather gloves
2.  Knife, folding saw
3.  Paracord (100 ft.)
4.  Cook pot and canteen
5.  Ferro rod and bic lighter

There are other kit items that we discussed at orientation that should be in your kit as well. The above mentioned items will be getting a workout as we work on constructing shelter and fire making skills.

Put your kits together. Wear your packs. Go for walks wearing them. Become accustomed to wearing the weight of your kits (including water in your canteen). Our next class will involve a nice walk.

10’ x 25’ rolls of 3 mil plastic have a lot of uses including making ground covers and systems to collect rain water.

Check the sporting goods section of Walmart, the Coleman Store in Foley, or Bass Pro Shop for kit items.
