Survival Gear

The purpose of Survival Gear is to allow a person to operate in an environment where that is not possible without aid.

Description

Survival Gear is aimed at meeting urgent physiological needs:

• Breathable Air Supply
• Temperature Regulation
• Water Supply
• Food Supply
• Protection from other adverse physical conditions (e.g. Wind abrasion, Chemical effects, etc)

Such gear may also be called Exploration Gear when not required in an emergency, and is equipment used for working in wilderness conditions on planetary surfaces or in zero-G conditions or underwater, etc. Gear may include sensors to confirm the quality of the operating environment or to provide or transmit information regarding location, etc.

Many of the items are included in different survival kits supplied for emergency conditions. These items are recommended when travelling outside of civilized locales.
