Aluminum foil isn’t just a convenient wrap for baked potatoes or a helmet to block alien mind probes, it’s also pretty handy in a real emergency situation. Keep an extra roll in your kitchen or place a carefully folded length of foil in your bug out bag, survival kit, and emergency gear stockpile for a versatile material with scores of uses. Here are ten of the many uses for this common yet valuable commodity.

We’ve all been in the mad rush of last minute shopping when inclement weather is predicted. Shoppers rush around pushing carts in a low grade frenzy. You can almost hear them chanting in their minds – “milk… bread… toilet paper…” But is this the right time to be shopping for the supplies that will keep your family safe and secure during and after a storm? I think not.
Before this year’s storm season ramps up, there are 5 critical items that you must have; and there’s no better time to buy them than now.

Nothing changes your morale and your options in a survival scenario like starting a fire. And in bad weather conditions, you may need every fire starting trick in the book.

In-laws in town? Leftover turkey piled high? You may not whip up food like a chef at home, but that doesn’t mean you can’t cook phenomenal meals outdside. Some of the best food I have ever eaten, has been prepared with simplicity in the wild.

Situational awareness is the bread and butter of crime prevention and urban survival. It’s all about being aware of your surroundings at all times, and aware of the situations that may be arising. Situational awareness is the combined ability to pay attention to details, process the information you gain, use this information to identify threats, and create plans to handle the threats or avoid them.

Want to vanish? If you needed to disappear in the wild and you didn’t have a ghillie suit (the rag suit worn by military snipers), then make the next best thing – a mud suit. We’ve seen versions of it in action flicks (how awesome was it in Rambo 2 when the “wall of mud” opened its eyes!), and shockingly, it’s a legitimate and effective camouflage technique.
