The functions of emergency survival blankets are heat preservation, rain protection, wind protection and sun protection.
The emergency survival blanket is small in size, light in weight and easy to carry. When folded, it is the size of a palm, but when unfolded it completely wraps around your body. In the event of sudden disasters such as snowstorms, it is a temporary first aid device to ensure the loss of body temperature. Survival blankets effectively prevent body heat from being lost by reflecting more than 80% of body heat.

(2) Survival whistle
In fact, it is a general whistle, but in the outdoors, the function of the whistle is not only the black whistle on the field. Now it can save your life. When in distress, you can use the whistle to attract rescue, or scare away some small beasts (but if it is tigers, bears and other beasts, silence is the best choice).
(3) Sewing kit
Sewing kits have always been an outdoor staple for the military. Of course, modern sewing kits do more than just sew, needles can not only pick thorns, but sometimes bend into fish hooks, improve food, and even save lives (of course, your sewing kit must be equipped with at least two fishing lines) ).
(4) Candle
A small candle definitely works outdoors. When you bring modern lighting such as flashlights and headlights into decorations, candles will show their "heroic spirit". In addition to lighting, candles can also be used for warmth and fire. If you cut the bottom of the mineral water bottle to make a lampshade, you have a windproof lamp for outdoor use, which has enough "power" and is efficient enough.
