10 C’s Of Survival How To Build The Best Kits
The main topic this week is 10 C’s Of Survival How To Build The Best Kits. I came across Dave Canterburys system years ago. Besides some of the stretched names to follow the C pattern I love it. The 10 C’s Of survival streamlines the kit building process. Taking much of the guesswork out of building a kit. It will work for all kits from a mini kit to a Bug out Bag.
You know you need to hit the first five then move on. If your kit does not have these 10 Items then you need them before moving on. You should include more than the 10’s of Survival in your kit but you could survive with just them.
We dig into each of the 10 C’s and give examples of each. What has worked for us in our kits and what has not.
Mike and I go on to discuss where we diverge from Dave and the 10 C’s of survival. Dave is not big on first aid. He feels that duck tape should work till you make it to medical care. Mike and I both carry well stocked first aid kits. I don’t recommend everyone running out and getting suture kits. Having plenty of gauze and pads to stop bleeding is critical.

Lighters are great in average temperatures, but in really cold weather, I always pack matches since they will continue to work regardless of the temperature. I have had lighters fail in deep cold, where the fuel will not flow as well (it is as if the lighter was out of fluid).
The 10 C’s are a great place to start, but don’t limit yourself to them. A first-aid kit is infinitely better than a dirty cotton bandana that you have been wearing all day.
I often forget that I have listeners from frozen tundras lol. Yeah here in the southern US we rarely get days that are significantly below freezing. I think two years ago we hit single digit temps. Like around 9 Farenhight (-12C)
Also I’m working on my own kit building philosophy to replace the 10 c’s. Something a bit more complete and modern.
