Bushcraft Survival Australia – The 10 Piece Kit

This how to video details 10 important items that you should have with you when you venture into a remote area or even just a day hike in a local area.
The first 5 items are the most important as they are the most difficult to make and the most time consuming to produce in nature. Having a knowledge of the items to take with you, lets you know what you need to make and prioritise if you don’t have them. The 10 piece kit consists of:
1. Cutting tool, 2. Combustion device, 3. Covering/shelter, 4.Container (metal), 5. Cordage, 6. Compass, 7. Cloth (bandanna), 8. Cargo/ Duck tape, 9. Candeling device/head torch, 10. Cloth sail needle.
The presenter (Gordon Dedman) learnt about this concept (which was modified from a military concept) from his studies at the Pathfinder School in the USA with Dave Canterbury.

The video is presented by Gordon Dedman, founder of Bushcraft Survival Australia (BSA). Gordon has travelled extensively and completed numerous Survival and Bushcraft Courses worldwide at schools run by Paul Kirtley, Ray Mears, Dave Canterbury, Lofty Wiseman and Bob Cooper.
Gordon is a former member of the Australian Army 1st Commando Regiment and is presently a survival instructor in NORFORCE, an Australian Army Reserve Regional Force Surveillance Unit (RFSU).
