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.

Ribz Front Pack Get Home Bag

Ribz Front Pack

A few months ago I got a chance to review and give away a Ribz Front Pack for my big contest. While testing out the pack I fell in love with it. I felt that in the role of a Get Home Bag or an Escape and Evade component to a full Bug Out Bag Ribz Front Pack was perfect. Then I had to give it away to a very lucky reader. Hopefully he is putting it to good use. Right before Christmas I had the funds to buy one of my own. I’ve talked plenty about the why’s of buying this pack, and there are many. Today I’m going to share my current load out for my Ribz Front Pack G.H.B. I played around with this configuration a lot and will continue to do so. I was amazed at how much I could cram in there. Actually I crammed in too much, the Ribz Front Pack were huge. Deciding what to take out took a big of work but I think I have it…for this week at least. So let’s get down to pictures and philosophies on why I chose what I did.

The Get Home Bag

The Get Home Bag, affectionately know in the survival community as the G.H.B. Because we all love acronyms right? So what is a G.H.B and why should you have one. What goes in it? And why not just carry your Bug out bag? Well I’m going to tell you.

I tried to get a dictionary definition or at least a urban dictionary definition of a GHB anything. All I turned up was forum posts and a few blog’s. Guess this will be another. So I’ll define it for you

A GHB is a bag whose purpose is to be able to get you from one place to another, usually home, with the minimal necessities required.

Well im no Webster but that’s the essence boiled down. Basically it’s a bag/ container carried in your car and possibly on your person at all times. With the exception of in your home. In your home you should have a Bug out bag (BoB) packed and ready to go.
