Zurvival Saturday (50) The 5 C's of Survivability
For this weeks Zurvival Saturday I want to talk about The 5 C's of Survivability. Regardless if in a Zombie apocalypse or a Natural Disaster these 5 rules of survival will help save your life. The 5 C's of Survivability were created by one of my favorite Youtubers Dave Canterbury with Wilderness Outfitters. However, you might recognize the name if you've watched the first 2 seasons of Dual Survival on Discovery. I highly recommend subscribing to him as he has many tips and tricks not only regarding bushcraft survival but general hunting and fishing as well.
So what are The 5 C's of Survivalbility? Keep on reading to find out!
1. Cutting Tool

2. Combustion Device
A combustion device can be a cigarette lighter, ferro rod, matches or magnesium. I have a ferro rod on my keychain. It's only been used twice but I know I have it if the need arises. A way to make fire is one of the most essential things needed for survival. You use fire to keep warm, cook food, sanitize water, it's even been known to dramatically lift moods of survivors stuck alone in the woods.
3. Container
A container can be a cup, can, canteen basically anything you can boil and carry water in will work. Which of course means stainless steel not plastic is preferable. Not only does a container help boil water but depending on the size you can make stew, coffee or teas in it as well.
4. Cover
A cover can be a tent, tarp, large sheet of plastic even an oversized poncho or wool blanket will work. Keeping yourself warm and out of the elements is key.
5. Cordage
Follow these 5 C's of Survivalbility and dramatically increase your chances of making it out of any situation alive!!
