Video: The Iceman’s Belt – gear lessons learned from a prehistoric survivalist
http://www.survivalcommonsense.com
In 1991, The Iceman was discovered in the Otztal Alps, the location giving him his now famous name: Otzi. His preserved body and equipment have provided a wealth of information about the time in which he lived. His survival gear provides a lesson we can benefit from.
by Leon Pantenburg
He died and was buried in glacial ice 5,300 years ago, but the remains of his body and equipment contain a great
example of what you should include in your personal, pocket-sized survival gear.
I learned about the Iceman soon after he was discovered, and am fascinated with the whole story anyway. But of particular interest to me is the personal survival kit Ozi carried in a leather pouch on his belt.
The belt and contents were designed to be convenient and useful. The belt was found wrapped around his waist, underneath his clothing, and the obvious intent was to have some survival gear always available.
The contents, according to “The Iceman’s Belt” by Chuck Kritzen included three flint tools, a bone awl and a lump of Fomes fomentarius or, true tinder fungus.
The Iceman and I agree: You must have survival gear on your person, even if you have a complete set of survival tools and gear in your backpack, canoe or saddlebags. You never know when you could be separated from your main, core equipment.
My choices, obviously, for my pocket survival gear are much different than the Iceman’s, but both of us pack the most efficient, compact, convenient and useful tools available!
