The 5 C’s Survival Kit – Core Survival Gear for Emergency & Wilderness Preparedness

This minimalist survival kit is built around the proven 5 C’s of survival: Cutting, Combustion, Container, Cover, and Cordage. These are the foundational tools every outdoor adventurer, prepper, or survival student should carry when heading into the wilderness.

Our classes don’t require a ton of gear to succeed, but you’ll need reliable basics to practice real skills. This is a bare-bones survival kit designed to keep you alive in an overnight emergency situation with the proper training. It’s lightweight, compact, and rugged—ideal for field training, hiking, or as a go-to emergency pack.

What’s Included in the 5 C’s Survival Kit:

Cutting Tool – Mora Garberg Knife with Sheath
The Mora Garberg Carbon Steel knife is a bushcraft favorite. Durable, sharp, and versatile, it’s widely respected in the survival community. This version comes with a solid black leather sheath and is built for field use—perfect for carving, notching, food prep, or fire-making tasks.

Combustion – 6″ Bayite Ferro Rod
A reliable fire starter capable of thousands of strikes. The large size gives you better grip and control, even in wet or cold conditions. An essential part of any survival fire kit.

Container – 40oz Klein Kanteen Stainless Steel Water Bottle
Made from 90% post-consumer recycled 18/8 stainless steel, this wide-mouth, single-wall container allows you to boil water directly over a flame. Compatible with most water filters and designed for rugged backcountry use.

Cover – Rain Poncho & Mylar Blanket
The 6.8′ x 5′ poly-coated poncho is waterproof, tear-resistant, and doubles as a tarp, bivvy sack, or ground cover. The emergency Mylar blanket enhances heat retention and, when used together, can create a fast emergency shelter.

Cordage – 100 ft. of Paracord
Versatile, strong, and endlessly useful. Make gill nets, snares, lashing for shelters, emergency repairs, bracelets, or traps. With proper training, you can do more with paracord than most people can with a backpack full of gear.

Everything in this pack is usable, durable, and included because it works. With proper instruction, this small kit will help you get through a night in the wild and make it out the other side alive. It’s the minimum we recommend carrying any time you venture outdoors.
