What are the 'big three' necessities for outdoor or hunting survival?

  1. Shelter, Fire and Signal

  2. Shelter, Signal and Compass

  3. Compass, Fire and Food

  4. Fire, Food and Gunpowder

The correct answer is: Shelter, Fire and Signal

When it comes to survival in an outdoor or hunting situation, choosing the correct items to bring with you can make all the difference. The three most important necessities for outdoor or hunting survival are shelter, fire and signal. Choosing option B, which includes a compass instead of fire, may seem like a good idea, but without fire for warmth and cooking, survival can become difficult. Option C swaps out shelter for a compass, which is another common mistake. While a compass can help with navigation, it does not provide protection from the elements like a shelter does. And option D may seem tempting with the inclusion of gunpowder, but it is not a necessity for survival and can actually be dangerous to use if you are not trained in firearms. Therefore, the correct answer is A – shelter, fire and signal should be the top priorities in an outdoor or hunting survival situation.
