Top 5 everyday items you can repurpose in a survival scenario
You may not be envious of MacGyver's mullet, but having a talent for surviving the elements with only a wristwatch, socks and a soda can is pretty cool. If you were lost or stranded, could you persevere with just a few everyday items?
In this article, we're going to take a look at the top five survival items -- and they're all things you probably carry around with you everyday.
- Wristwatch: In a survival situation, your first concern probably isn't the time of day. But, your wristwatch can still be a big help. An everyday watch can pull double-duty as a compass.
- Soda Can: Even if you're not drinking a root beer at the exact moment you become stranded, you'll probably be able to find a can while lost in the woods (thanks to the litterbugs).
- Glasses: In a survival situation, glasses can help you accomplish two very important things: getting rescued and building fire.
