When trekking or mountaineering it is important to make sure you pack a range of survival gear, ideal if you find yourself in an emergency situation where maintaining body heat is essential and shelter is needed from the extreme elements. As well as thermal protection, whistles and lightsticks are ideal if you find yourself trapped or in a situation where you require a signalling device. Firestarting devices are also ideal to help stay warm, Travelpharm offer wind and rain proof matches and firestarter kits that are ideal for mountain survival.
