There are quite a few techniques to create a simple survival water filter. Sometimes, that can be even better when you’re caught in an unexpected situation or if you’re not sure how to use survival gear. Ingenuity and out-of-the-box thinking are marks of a true survivalist. Just make sure to get some practice in with these DIY techniques first, so that you can adapt on the fly.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\" itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemscope=\"\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 id=\"buyinggear\" itemprop=\"name\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhy is Buying Survival Gear Important?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\" itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemscope=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv itemprop=\"text\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eGenerally, it’s better to purchase survival equipment because, when you’re in tricky conditions, facing the elements, time is against you.

Very nice hatchet...best for splitting and chopping
Purchased this as a light weight hatchet to throw in my pack and it was an excellent choice. Quality is excellent. Very light weight. I love the shape of the handle: mostly straight with a slight curve in just the right area. When gripping near the head, the head shape puts your hand in a nice centerline position. It is a convex grind, so it isn't the best tool for fine, delicate cuts, but I tend to use my knife for that type of work, so not a problem for me. I chose the leather mask instead of the belt sheath, only for personal preference reasons. The leather mask is excellent quality and made of very nice leather.
