A survival kit needs air, water, warmth, soil and living things.
Key Points / Good Practices
- Include breathable air with oxygen for respiration.
- Add liquid water for drinking and for plants.
- Provide a warmth source to keep the right temperature.
- Include soil with nutrients so plants can grow.
