Survive the End Days
Solar Waterproof is another great flashlight, which recharges using the sun. You can use it
to submerse to 33 feet. One down sight though it is that it stops lighting after an hour.
10. Duct tape
Don’t look surprised! Duct tape can be used to patch up tents, sleeping bags, clothing, or
rain gear. You can also use it for sealing and waterproofing purposes. Not only that, but you
can catch that annoying fly buzzing like crazy in your tent. All you would have to do is hang
a small strip on the “ceiling” of the tent. The flies will get stuck to it and have no way out.
Also it would make for a perfect band aid, as will help you stop the bleeding and prevent
germs from entering the wound. Don’t forget about first disinfecting the wound, so you
avoid septicemia.
In worst case scenario, you can even use it as a sling to immobilize your broken limb. If
worst comes to worst, you could also use the duct tape to create an arm sling or to use the
duct tape to “glue” your leg to a piece of timber to immobilize it. The duct tape will help
provide elevation and support your injured arm, and will reduce swelling.
11. A map, a navigation watch or an expedition compass
Always be prepared so you can avoid walking around for hours, at any cost. Walking
away for miles during summertime, especially in arid areas and with water supplies running
low, can spell disaster. Similarly, walking through the cold cannot be beneficial, no matter
from what perspective we think of it.
But using a navigation watch will help you beyond that. It will provide with relevant
information regarding time, direction, temperature and altitude. It should also have a
barometer and thermometer incorporated. In my opinion, the most important feature is the
barometer that alerts the user of sudden changes in atmospheric pressure. So, it will help
you predict storms, search for shelter and avoid being caught off guard.
Getting lost will become a Boy Scouts’ problem, as you will know exactly where you’ll be
headed. Some of the best navigation watches are:

Pathfinder PAG240-1BCR: solar power watch, that is resistant to water (100m)
Casio Pathfinder PAG240T -7 and PAG240-1: tough solar power, triple sensor
incorporated (barometer, thermometer, digital compass), battery lasts forever.
PRG270-6A: sun-powered, can be submersed at 100m depth and is resistant to
temperatures as low as -10C.
All these watches are manufactured by Casio, but I’m sure there are others out there
worth investing in. I’ve had my Casio Pathfinder PAG240T -7 for some time and now I could
not picture life without using it in my archaeological expeditions. On the down sight is that
