You will have tools & gadgets that will help you stay warm, build shelter, find & hunt small animals & fish, purify water and protect yourself from the elements. Even a GPS tracker is a part of the package so your friends and loved ones can keep track of your whereabouts. This is a survival kit that any nature lover, hiker, camper or outdoorsman should have by his side.

Word from the Trailblazer Survival Kit designer
My name is Damir Zupanovic and I am a passionate angler and nature lover. During my fishing trips I often have to conquer uninhabited and sometimes harsh environment, especially during the winter fishing season. You can never predict what can happen in the wilds, and, after a few "incidents" I decided to make my weekend fishing trips safer and the idea of Trailblazer Survival Kit was born. It is funny how we sometimes don`t think about our own safety until one day we find ourselves in a life-threatening situation! After the research and after getting advice from survival experts, the contents of the survival kit was completed. I also want to make this kit available to everyone because I cannot emphasize enough the importance of being safe, warm, with shelter over your head and with food & water supply when you are stranded deep, alone in the unknown territory, with only your personal belongings, skills and luck by your side. Trailblazer Survival Kit turns the odds in your favor in these situations and really becomes your best friend in emergency situations. It is also a kit you can keep and store in your home, knowing you`ll be ready if any disaster strikes.
Stay safe, wherever your path may lead you!
FAQ:
1. Does Trailblazer Survival Kit has all that I really need?
Trailblazer Survival Kit contains tools & gadgets essential for your survival. It does not contain bottled water, canned food, energy bars, warm clothes, underwear and things like that. You should add those things to the backpack yourself.
2. Is it all too heavy to carry on your back?
When you look at the list of stuff you get with the Trailblazer Survival Kit, it is easy to imagine you need a pack mule to carry it for you. But, in fact, all the tools and gadgets were carefully selected and the weight of each tool was extremely important so that the whole kit is easy to carry on your back. Hiker Edition weighs only 2.5 kg (88 oz) and the Survivor Edition weighs 5.1 kg (180 oz). The backpack itself weighs only 600-700 grams (approx. 24 oz). So, you don`t need to be afraid that it will be heavy or that it will slow you down - it is easy enough for anyone to carry.
3. Is the backpack too big for a girl?
No, the backpack is the ideal size for men and women. It is the perfect size and, more important, perfect width. We strongly encourage not to put stuff on the outside of the backpack that will make the backpack wider. When you face the narrow corridor, any thing you have on your backpack that is wider than your body will present an obstacle and it could be harder for you to get through.
4. How can I charge my phone or other gadget while I`m in the wilds?
Yes, you can use our handcrank / solar radio/flashlight/charger to charge your phone, waterproof LED headlamp, GPS tracker or any other device that operates on 5V or uses micro USB connection.
5. How does the Life Straw Water Purifier work?
Life Straw has a 2-stage filtration process. The activated carbon filter removes some chemicals like chlorine and the hollowfiber micro filter removes 99.9999% of bacteria and 99.9% of protozoa. It also reduces turbidity, filtering down to 0.2 microns. The activated carbon filter removes some chemicals (like chlorine) and some pesticides and fertilizers.
6. How can I start the fire with Fresnel Lens?
Move the fresnel lens closer and farther from what you’re trying to light (dry leaves, tinder,...) until the focused light spot is smallest. Then flex the sheet to make the light spot as small as you can get it. The smaller the focused light is, the higher the density of light there is, so the hotter it will get. You’d want to have your kindling and the rest of your wood close by so it could catch before the leaves go out. In some cases, you’ll want to move the light around a bit to catch more of the leaves on fire, especially if you have clouds coming.
