How to Put Together the Ultimate Survival Kit | Tactical Intelligence Would you be willing to stake your life on your survival kit? I would. There are so many debates when it comes to the perfect survival kit. My entire kit is based off of three tiers — one that I carry with me, one that I keep in my car (and sometimes on me), and one that is in my home ready to go in a moments notice if I had to bug out. The Three-Tiered Survival Kit First Tier: This ‘kit’ includes those items that you have with you at all times. Folding Knife: If you’ve ever been in a survival situation (planned or not) you know how essential a knife is. While I would at the least recommend the Essential 3, there are a few other items you may want to consider carrying as part of your EDC (Every Day Carry) Gear or first Tier. Coin Sized Compass: These are those small, coin-sized compasses you see in many mini survival kits. The key to the first-tier kit is to incorporate it as much as possible with what you wear. Second Tier: Fixed Knife: In other words, non-folding. Third Tier: Conclusion

The electronics company Philips is developing the idea, and you can see a concept video of their work at the link. Link | Image: flickr user spacemanbobby
