Summary: <br> This subject may be way too detailed for most people but if<br> you’re looking to have the advantage of survival then being prepared can only be<br> a step in the right direction. I realize people like to be spontaneous and I do<br> too. Just know you can do a little preplanning in a “global” manor such as preparing<br> and using a “common” survival kit (<a href="http://advantagesurvival.podbean.com/e/episode-41-my-survival-kit/">See Episode 41</a>) that travels where you do. One<br> that can be merged with your adventure specific equipment you plan to use. That<br> small step alone may keep your next adventure spontaneous. Take the kit; toss it in your pack and go. Now<br> don’t you feel better knowing you did something to improve a survival situation<br> if it shows its face on your next adventure?<br> <br> I want to enlist your help on this. I’m looking to create a<br> master list for adventure planning that I can provide to help you and me plan our<br> next wilderness adventures. So please share any ideas or topics you think would<br> be good to include in that list.
