Quick tips and tools from noted survival expert—and how to avoid a life threatening experience at the Washington Sportsmen’s Show®
Peter Kummerfeldt is a man on a mission‐‐a mission to prepare outdoorsmen, day hikers or even stranded motorists to survive a night in the elements. The owner/founder of Outdoor Safe, Inc., and the author of “Surviving a Wilderness Emergency,” his free presentations at the 2012 Washington Sportsmen’s Show® are made possible by Toyota.
Peter notes that nearly 40 people credit the tips he’s shared at sportsmen’s shows over the past decade with saving their lives.
Preparation is the name of the game according to the former Air Force Basic Survival School instructor. In his presentations he underscores that those who are prepared spend an inconvenient night outdoors‐‐rather than endure a life threatening experience.
At the show he’ll be sharing tips on building your own survival kit and speaking on “what’s new in survival,” and “survival myths and misconceptions.”
For the do‐it‐yourself kit builder, he suggests starting with a plastic bag for a shelter and carry cotton balls covered in Vaseline for fire starter.
To help meet the needs of a broader range of people, Peter will introduce his new, smaller and more compact survival kit at the Puyallup Show.
