It is a list of essential tools need in a survival situation that are difficult to reproduce in the wild. The 10 Cs should be incorporated into any bug out bag and should be carried by anyone who spends time in the backcountry. Even the most experienced hiker, hunter or outdoors man can find themselves in a dire situation. A simple slip on a wet rock, wondering off the trail or poor weather can quickly turn a simple stroll in the woods into a fight for survival. Having the 10 Cs on you in these situations can be the difference between life or death. The 10 Cs of Survival are broken down into the first 5 Cs and the second 5 Cs. The first 5 are seen as essential while the second 5 Cs are incredible useful. THE FIRST 5 Cs OF SURVIVAL 1. Cutting Tool: In other words you need a knife. You want something sturdy and ideally full tang. This will come in handy for cutting rope, creating fire wood and building shelters as well as much more. 2. Combustion: This refers to a method of creating fire. Ideally you would have at least two sources. So this can be a lighter, book of matches or simple flint and steal. 3. Cover: If you are forced to spend the night you want to have a cover to help create a shelter that will keep you dry and protect you from the elements. A cover can be a tarp, space blanket, poncho, even a trash bag. 4. Container: A container is used to store water.

It is particularly helpful if your container is stainless steel or aluminum so you can use it to boil water in order to purify it. 5.
