[VIDEO] Pocket Survival Kit (PSK) – Rescue vs. Self-recovery

[VIDEO] Pocket Survival Kit (PSK) – Rescue vs. Self-recovery

There’s a big debate going on since forever if you should attempt self-recovery or wait for rescue. After last week’s video on rescue signaling in your PSK, Cache Valley Prepper is back to weigh in on what you should do during a survival situation.

Should you sit tight and hope for the best while doing staying alert so you can signal to rescuers or should you grit your teeth, check your supplies, make a plan and get to getting yourself safe?

    While I understand the value of being prepared for rescue, I believe a truly effective PSK should be geared more towards self-recovery. Depending on rescue can sometimes give a false sense of hope, and in remote areas, help might not come quickly. It’s essential to have tools for signaling, but the primary focus should be on self-sufficiency and navigating out of a dangerous situation on your own.
