Everyone Should Prepare Outdoor Emergency Kits

Customize the emergency kits along your specific wants. Pack the survival items which do not fit in the survival tin in bag or pouch that is grabbed easily and quickly and have items that can allow you to live overnight in the wilderness and enhance the chances of being found. I personally use lightweight durable as well as a waterproof pack with the waist belt and it is large sufficient to carry a firstaid kit. In addition I keep that always outside my backpack thus I can easily grab it.

Your emergency kits must have a survival bag cooking pot food fuel and signaling kit and plus some good advice is to include survival notes create your own or else use one of recommended outdoor survival books.

Cooking pot

Use an aluminum tin which is light strong also suitable as the container for other survival stuff.

Fuel

Use a pocket stove with fuel tablets as pocket stove is compact ultra light and accessible. The stove just unfolds to form the adjustable pot stand and holder for burning the fuel. Moreover these tablets are a great heat resource for cooking get warm or start fires. Put in some extra waterproof matches too.

Food

Food bars are preferably suited for the emergency kits due to their huge storage temperature variety and small size and weigh. You require all the extra calories that you may get in the survival situation thus pick highenergy food bars.

Survival Bag

Make use of the emergency bag of the reflective material that will keep you warm.

Signaling Kit

Pack the small flashlight which will take up little room. Make use of long lasting batteries that are reversed inside thus they will not run down if by chance switched on.

The small hand held aerial indication flares is an ideal wilderness signaling device and they provide most of the effective day and night signal to attract the attention since they are very loud as well as cover a large sighting area and these are explosive as a result pack very carefully. Read all the instructions that are supplied with flares.

Keep with you every time

In addition keep in mind whatever is in the emergency kits you need to keep that with you at all times. Never venture in the wilderness without the kits.

There Is More To Siem Reap Cambodia Than The Angkor Temples

There is more to Siem Reap Cambodia than the Angkor Temples

The Angkor National Museum is located on the road to Angkor Wat at Vithei Charles De Gaulle Phnom Salokanseng Siem Reap. The Angkor National would be classified as one of Cambodias premier museum sites.

Upon entering this very modern museum through the foyer the visitor is ushered in a briefing room where there is a screen presentation of what the museum has to offer. It sets the scene for the upcoming journey back into an ancient civilization that of the Khmer.

Leaving the briefing room the visitor enters what be the Gallery of 1000 Buddha Images. This spectacular room displays rare Buddha statues and images from all periods in time and would be one of most prestigious collections you could imagine. There are images in niches around the interior walls which are highlighted by the colouring and lighting used.

The floor displays are highlighted by an eye catching antique Buddhist statue.

This gallery alone was worth the price of admission let alone the splendour of the other seven galleries.

There are a total of seven other galleries which highlight this ancient civilisation in both display and video presentations. The video presentations are very well done and appreciated by visitors who possibly had no knowledge of the achievement of the ancient Khmer empire. The galleries blend one into the other after leaving the Gallery of the 1000 Buddha with the first two concentrating on the PreAngkor period of the civilisation religion and beliefs. The roles of the Great Khmer kings are honoured in the next gallery with the 4 kings who formed the Khmer kingdom and who also presented the ancient cities of Angkor Wat and Angkor Thom to the world.

The next two galleries gave an insight into architecture and engineering tents of the two cities and give the visitor an educational background which would enhance their experience when visiting the Angkor complex. There is a large scale model of the Angkor temple area which gives the visitor a useful reference if viewed before their trip to the temples. The next gallery outlines the use of stone inscriptions to record how people lived in ancient Khmer times. The final gallery tastefully painted in earth colours blends in with the displays of Ancient costume.

To complete the museum experience the souvenir shop has a selection of genuine Cambodian arts and crafts available for purchase.

For those whose knowledge of Khmer culture had been limited to the Angkor temples this museum is an excellent background resource to visitors.
