Frequently asked questions

Which survival tool is suitable for beginners?▾

A robust fixed-blade knife (e.g. by Morakniv), a fire steel and a compact headlamp are recommended for beginners. These three tools cover basic needs such as cutting, fire lighting and light and are easy to handle.

What belongs in a survival kit?▾

A basic survival kit should contain a fixed-blade knife, a fire starter, waterproof matches, paracord, a compass, a first aid kit and a water purification agent. Depending on the area of use, an emergency blanket, a multitool and a headlamp can be added.

Which multitool is best suited for outdoor activities?▾

Multitools with pliers, knife, saw and can opener – such as those by Leatherman or Victorinox – are suitable for outdoor use. Robust construction and secure locking of the tools are decisive.

How do I choose the right survival knife?▾

Look for a fixed blade made of stainless or carbon steel, a handle that fits well in the hand and a sturdy full-tang construction. The blade length should be between 8 and 14 cm. Brands such as Morakniv, Gerber and SOG offer proven models.

Are Swiss army knives suitable for survival purposes?▾

Swiss army knives by Victorinox are excellent everyday tools and useful as a supplement in a survival kit, but do not replace a fixed-blade knife for heavier tasks. Sturdier knives are better suited for bushcraft and woodworking.

Which fire starters are reliable in wet conditions?▾

Fire steels (ferrocerium sticks) by Light My Fire work reliably even in wet conditions and produce sparks with high temperatures. Additionally, waterproof matches and tinder cubes help to start a fire even in damp weather.

Which headlamps are suitable for survival trips?▾

Headlamps by Petzl and Nitecore are ideal as they are compact, durable and often waterproof. Models with a red light mode and long burn time (over 100 hours) are recommended for multi-day trips.

How do I properly maintain survival tools?▾

Knives should be cleaned and dried after use to prevent corrosion. Fire steels can be protected from moisture by wiping. Headlamps require regular battery or rechargeable battery checks. All tools should be stored in a dry, well-ventilated place.
