Mark III Survival Kit

“Whether you are lost in Kalamunda, facing political unrest or in a difficult business situation, the same strategies apply,” he said.
“The five priorities are; water, warmth, signals, shelter and food. You have to stop, control your thoughts and choose which one to satisfy first.”
To prove just how little you do need to survive a bad situation Bob has created the Mark III Survival Kit, which fits into a soap box. It contains 33 items that help in satisfying the five survival priorities.
He has walked 160 km in harsh terrain with nothing but the contents of this box to demonstrate that with some knowledge and minimal gear you can survive.
