The Trilobite Micro-survival Kit: the Worlds Best 5-ounce Survival Kit

Publisher Marketing: The BEST micro-survival kit in the world! Why? * Portable * Easy to carry on your person, on a pack, and even hanging off your computer tote * 26 items that have been proven effective in survival situations. * You can put it together yourself or order one already made * Various ways to carry it Having been an outdoorsman all of my life, traipsing around the Alpine lakes of the Bitterroot-Selway Wilderness in western Montana & northern Idaho, to the high mountain deserts of southern Utah, I have found that prior preparation is vital. I started out by carrying a 'Survival Kit, ' which usually weighed more than five pounds, and was quite prohibitive and unwieldy. It wasn't long before I stopped taking a survival kit. Thankfully, one was not needed. But being unprepared for a crisis was the natural result. It wasn't until about 2010, that I was introduced to a fad - paracord bracelets. Not being into fads myself, I bought one only for the thought of having 8' of paracord with me all the time. I liked the idea. Then I began to wonder if I could put a few additional items into the bracelet, woven in, thus making it even more beneficial to me in my traipsing in the outdoors. So, bit by bit, piece by piece, I began to add items that I considered to be of most importance in a survival situation. Having worked in a wilderness survival program, I knew what I could use, what was lightweight, & what was needed to sustain life. Thus, the Trilobite was born (names this way due to it's shape). This booklet contains instructions, along with a story, on what to put into a Trilobite, & how to go about constructing one. I wish you the best in your fabulous outdoor adventures. Hopefully this will put you more at peace as you go outdoors. Practice, and be prepared for the unknown.
