Bear Grylls himself could probably find his way out of the rainforest with nothing more than a toothpick and a piece of chewing gum. The rest of us, however, better have the Bear Grylls Ultimate Survival Kit
($35) on hand for such excursions. The Compact survival kit includes a small multitool, a waterproof bag, a handsaw, survival blanket, portable light, a signaling mirror, a firestarter with a cotton ball, waterproof matches, an emergency cord, snare wire, waxed thread, a fishing kit, a sewing kit, a land, air, and SOS rescue reference, and a survival pocket guide—all meant to keep you alive until you reach a safe zone, or a McDonalds. Now if it only included an emergency stash of booze, we could probably last in the jungle till winter.
