MDA KIT

What we think we need for an adventure is only truly tested in the field.

The next video in the works will be a full breakdown of how I packed for my recent Mad Dog Adventures Intermediate Survival Weekend, including a follow up AAR post of what I didn’t use and a few last minute changes or additions (shown here).

FIRE TAB

The ability to make fire is key to survival, which means a fire kit is a staple for most adventuring packs. Warmth against the cold, boiling water, cooking food, staving off predators, it’s uses are endless.

Once you’ve assembled a kit that works for you, you’ll need one of our fire tabs to quickly identify it! Or just get one because they look cool!
