Picking the right gear to help you survive! (Camping, Hiking, and Survival Basics)

I have grown up in the outdoors. I was a part of a Search and Rescue team for 13 years and I was a team leader in that organization for 10 years. I taught Search and Rescue and Outdoor Survival basics during that time. I am also an EMT.

This video barely scratches the surface of what there is to know about surviving in the great outdoors. It is the basics of picking gear to help you survive if your recreational adventure goes sideways.
