There are essential wilderness survival items you should always carry when when hiking, biking or camping, but most of us never do. It seems like we often hear on the news of someone making a solid attempt to enjoy the outdoors and connect with mother nature, but end up in an unexpected situation without being prepared.
The last thing on anyone’s mind when planning a hike, snowshoeing, or a camping trip is that they might injure themselves and become unable to get back home on their own without the essential survival items, but it happens more than you would think.
