10 Ways to Stay Warm in a Survival Situation

Survival preparedness is not complete without the proper survival equipment to keep you warm in survival situations. Plan on experiencing any weather condition when working on survival preparedness. Below is a list of survival gear and methods you can use to stay warm in survival situations.

1. Layers of clothing-Remember that putting too many layers on will cause you to sweat so use discretion. Sweat cools down and will make you colder than you would have been without putting on the layers.

2. Good clothing-Wool and thermal clothing are the best insulators.

3. Fire-Fires are not only useful for warmth but for cooking, signaling for help, and keeping wild animals away.

4. Another person-Huddling close together with someone else conserves body heat.

5. Body warmers-Body warmers are a quick and easy source of heat.

6. Blanket-Many emergency blankets are available today that are lightweight and durable, making them an easy survival item to store in your survival preparedness kit.

7. Sleeping bag-Check the temperature range and the weight of any sleeping bag before you buy it.

8. Shelter out of the elements-Find shelter that protects you from the elements.

9. Exercise-Moving your arms and legs helps the blood flow and keeps you warm, but at the same uses valuable energy.

10. Heating device-Heating devices use a variety of energy sources. Choose the best energy source option for your survival preparedness needs.
