Wired brings us their picks for the 10 things you must have in your wilderness survival kit. Nothing too out of the ordinary item here, but there a couple that I hadn’t thought of before.

8. Whistle
When you are lost in the woods, signaling for help should be a high priority. Blowing a whistle periodically requires much less energy than yelling and the high pitch sound may travel further.

It makes sense, but I guess I think of the big three: food, water, shelter, when I think survival. Signaling can help you getting rescued faster which makes everything else a little less critical.
