Best 5 Survival Knife

I hear it all the time, “What’s the BEST Survival Knife David?” So today, I’m coming clean and going to share with you THE best survival knife in the world for any situation that you find yourself.

So What Makes a Great Survival Knife?

Well there’s a lot of discussion and debate about this, probably because the term, “survival knife” means many different things to many different people.

So let me ask YOU this… “What is THE Best Survival Knife?”

TIER 1 – Neck Knife – A good neck knife is my primary EDC blade because it travels unnoticed and invisible around my neck at all times. My personal choice in neck knives is the super lightweight and capable CRKT Felts Minimalist or my new favorite (and soon to be released on Kick Starter) 5 Knives - 3 Pocket Knives Ultimate Survival Tips: MASK-1 Mini neck knife.

TIER 2 Pocket Knife – When I need a blade quick, I’m reaching for me pocket knife. Now for me, my pocket knife changes depending on the situation. If I just want a general general utility blade… either my Schroeder First Response or Gerber Propel are coming along. But if I’m traveling or for some reason want more of a self-defense blade, my Gerber Covert – OR – Mini Covert usually get the nod.

TIER 3 – Belt Sheath Knife – Next, because many folks wear belts, I recommend a small to medium sized belt sheath knife or multi-tool as your 5 Knives - Leather man Wave TIER 3 EDC.

For me, I carry my trusted, Leather man Wave multi-tool on my belt. Now, besides having a great fine and serrated edged blade, my Leather man wave has a pile of other tools that come in handy almost every day. 5-Knives-Card Sharp.

TIER 4 – Wallet Knife – When I leave the house I ALWAYS have my wallet in my pocket… and a wallet always seemed like like a great place to keep a backup blade. So… in my wallet I carry an Ian Sinclair Cardsharp 2 as my last ditch knife. It’s lightweight and thin, wicked sharp, and only takes up a credit card slot in my wallet… but easily folds into a very capable light duty knife.

TIER 5 – PRIMARY Survival Knife – My 5th and final tier for an everyday carry survival knife is my primary (or preferred) survival knife. This is the ONE knife I want with me if things go bad real bad. My past favorites range from my Mora Light My Fire, OKC Blackbird SK5, Gerber LMF II… the newer Gerber Strong-arm.

Check Back Often for the Release of the Ultimate Survival Tips MSK-1 (Multi Scenario Knife)

Survival Tips: MSK-1 Multi-Scenario Knife. When I can’t carry it on my belt it’s usually not far away, waiting quietly in my EDC backpack.

BONUS TIP – For a super cheap – last ditch blade, take some heavy duty – duct tape to secure a standard – old school razor blade (with cardboard blade protector) to the inside of your wallet – or even – the inside your shoe under the insole…

But whatever you do, don’t forget about your EDC blades when entering weapon-free buildings or going through TSA check points… like I did one day with my Leather man Wave – that almost cost me my tool and missing my flight.

How to get water from trees

This works on any tree, but it works better with those with leaves that are directly exposed to the sun. Wrap a plastic bag around the leaves.

When the sun forces the water inside the leaves to evaporate, the water will be trapped inside the plastic bag and settle into the plastic bag.

With proper positioning, the water will be trapped in a way that you can simple poke a hole through the bag so that the water flows through. You can then keep the water in a container. Note: Make sure your plastic bags are clean.

It takes grit and a little bit of creativity, but sometimes knowing unique places to find water will be the difference maker in staying hydrated.

Water From Dirt

Water is always your most valuable resource; most people die from dehydration after three or four days without the stuff.

Although there are cases of people lasting at least a week without water—the crew of the downed plane Lady Be Good survived walking one hundred miles (160km) across the scorching Libyan desert for eight days with no water—it’s not a good idea to tempt fate.

If you’re pinched for water, you can always get it directly from the ground itself. Enter the solar still, an easy-to-make contraption that uses a tarp or a piece of plastic to collect evaporated water from dirt. All you need to do is dig a hole in direct sunlight and drape your tarp over the opening. Secure the edges with logs, rocks, boxes of tampons—anything you have lying around.

Then—and this is important—place a little pebble right in the middle of the tarp, so it pulls the plastic down into an upside-down pinnacle. 

When the sun hits the tarp, the air trapped inside the whole heats up, which in turn evaporates the moisture in the dirt. As that moisture rises, it will condense on the underside of the tarp and run down to the center—the lowest point. A cup or bowl on the floor of the whole right below this point will catch the pure, distilled water as it drips down—potentially saving your life.

Find out North without navigational survival gear.

If you need the help of a compass but you don't have one, you can use an analog watch to do that. Point the hour (short) hand at the sun and draw two imaginary lines between it and the 12 o'clock point. You will create an angle between the two lines. Draw an imaginary straight line bisecting the angle. The line point away from the sun is north, because the sun always goes to set in the west direction.

Disclaimer: telling time by sun doesn't work as effectively when you are too far up north or south.

How to create a single fire.

A combination of fresh pine and spruce leaves produce a lot of smoke, which is what you want with the signal. Start out by building a small fire using dry leaves, twigs, or other tinder.

Collect the fresh pine and spruce leaves and compile them into a bow. When the fire is up and smoking, put the leaves over the fire, making sure to cover it completely. This will cause the branches to burn intensely.

Keep note those points:

• ·         Dray grass
• ·         Think dray sticks
• ·         Pine needles
• ·         Paper
• ·         Cotton
• ·         If possible take some fuel or oil

ü Choosing the location - ideally, you want to build a fire on elevated grounds, such as a peak, top of a hill or ridge.  Clear the area so that the fire will not catch onto nearby twigs/other flammables. If it's too difficult to clear the area of debris, then the next best option is to isolate the fire with stones to control the fire.

ü What creates the thick smoke?  - Dry grass, leaves, pine needles, and paper, wood shaving, small sticks are great for starting fires. To sustain the fire, you will need to find dry wood, full branches and anything similar that will provide a slow but long lasting fuel. To create more smoke; simply add living branches, wet leaves and even rubber materials.

ü Don't forget to thoroughly extinguish the fire when you depart your location or when you are rescued. The last thing you want to do is start a raging fire in the forest.
