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.

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.

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.
