And with this survival pack from Uncharted Supply Co., you’re bound to survive any life-threatening situation that comes your way.

green double tent on green grass — Staying warm throughout the night in the outdoors just got a whole lot easier, thanks to this insulated tent made for two. Due to the extra protection, the entire tent enhances blackout levels, reduces noise and regulates temperature, giving you a great night’s rest before exploring the wilderness.

black thermal outfit — Whether you’re hiking through the woods, wandering a snowy peak or just hanging by a campfire at night, this thermal outfit is a staple on the packing list.

biolite electric firepit — From cooking a meal to enjoying the warmth from the flames, the BioLite FirePit can do it all. Thanks to its rechargeable powerpack, the portable machine will burn firewood or charcoal for up to 24 hours and is controllable by an app on your iPhone, adding a modern touch to your old-school weekend.

black thigh covers — These high-calf black gaiters are built to withstand all types of weather on the trails—ranging from puddles to snowy hills—keeping you dry along the way.

biolite headlamp in yellow — Visibility in the open wilderness isn’t always as great in the winter as it is during the summer season, due to fog, cooler temperatures and wetter terrain.

trekking poles — If you’re making your way uphill through the snow, chances are you’re going to get tired and need a little help at some point. With these lightweight, portable trekking poles, you’ll increase your endurance and reach new heights on your next camping trip.
