	A '''survival kit''' is a package of basic tools and supplies prepared as an aid to survival in an emergency. Civil and military aircraft, lifeboats, and spacecraft are equipped with survival kits.

	Survival kits, in a variety of sizes, contain supplies and tools to provide a survivor with basic shelter against the elements, help them to keep warm, meet basic health and first aid needs, provide [[food]] and [[water]], signal to rescuers, and assist in finding the way back to help. Supplies in a survival kit normally include a [[knife]] (often a [[Swiss army knife]] or a [[multi-tool]]), [[matches]], [[tinder]], [[first aid kit]], [[bandana]], [[fish hook]]s, [[Sewing\|sewing kit]], and a [[flashlight]].

	The term "bug-out bag" is related to the "bail-out bag" emergency kit many military aviators carry.

	[[Astronaut]]s are provided with survival kits due to the difficulty of predicting where a [[spacecraft]] will land on its [[reentry\|return to Earth]], especially in the case of an equipment failure. In early US space flights, the kit was optimised for survival at sea; the one provided for [[John Glenn]] on the first American orbital space flight in ''[[Friendship 7]]'' contained "a life raft, pocket knife, [[heliograph\|signaling mirror]], [[shark repellent]], [[Desalination\|seawater desalting]] tablets, sunscreen, soap, first aid kit, and other items".<ref>{{cite web \|url=https://airandspace.si.edu/collection-objects/survival-kit-friendship-7-ma-6 \|title=Survival Kit, Friendship 7 (MA-6) \|author=<!--Staff writer(s); no by-line.--> \|website=airandspace.si.edu \|date=20 March 2016 \|publisher=Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum \|access-date=10 December 2016\|url-status=live \|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161220113452/https://airandspace.si.edu/collection-objects/survival-kit-friendship-7-ma-6 \|archive-date=2016-12-20 }}</ref> A survival kit was provided for the [[Apollo program]] which was "...designed to provide a 48-hour postlanding (water or land) survival capability for three crewmen between 40 degrees North and South latitudes".<ref>{{cite web \|url=https://www.hq.nasa.gov/alsj/a11/Apollo11_Press-Kit_restored.pdf \|title=Apollo 11 Lunar Landing Mission Press Kit \|author=<!--Staff writer(s); no by-line.--> \|website=www.hq.nasa.gov \|publisher=NASA \|access-date=10 December 2016 \|url-status=live \|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161116023445/http://www.hq.nasa.gov/alsj/a11/Apollo11_Press-Kit_restored.pdf \|archive-date=16 November 2016 }} (p. 135)</ref> It contained "a survival radio, a survival light assembly, desalter kits, a [[machete]], sunglasses, water cans, sun lotion, a blanket, a pocket knife, netting and foam pads".<ref>{{cite web \|url=https://airandspace.si.edu/collection-objects/rucksack-1-survival-kit-apollo-15 \|title=Rucksack #1, Survival Kit, Apollo 15 \|author=<!--Staff writer(s); no by-line.--> \|website=airandspace.si.edu \|publisher=Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum \|access-date=10 December 2016\|url-status=live \|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170825204238/https://airandspace.si.edu/collection-objects/rucksack-1-survival-kit-apollo-15 \|archive-date=2017-08-25 }}</ref>

	The kits provided for Soviet and Russian cosmonauts are optimised for survival in the temperate and sub-arctic mountains, forests and grasslands in the east of the country. [[Soyuz spacecraft]] kits include "food rations, water bottles, warm clothing, rope for making a shelter using the capsule's parachute, fish hooks and miscellaneous other survival gear". The [[TP-82 Cosmonaut survival pistol]], was provided to defend against predators such as wolves or bears. It was able to fire conventional bullets, [[shotgun]] cartridges and flares; the [[folding stock]] could be used as a shovel and it also had a fold-out [[machete]].<ref>{{cite web \|url=https://www.nbcnews.com/id/wbna23131359 \|title=Russia has the corner on guns in space \|last=Oberg \|first=James \|date=12 February 2012 \|website=[[NBC News]] \|publisher=NBC News \|access-date=10 December 2016 \|url-status=live \|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170107154352/http://www.nbcnews.com/id/23131359#.WEvlw9KLSUk \|archive-date=7 January 2017 }}</ref>

A '''survival kit''' is a package of basic tools and supplies prepared as an aid to survival in an emergency. Civil and military aircraft, lifeboats, and spacecraft are equipped with survival kits.

	Survival kits, in a variety of sizes, contain supplies and tools to provide a survivor with basic shelter against the elements, help them to keep warm, meet basic health and first aid needs, provide [[food]] and [[water]], signal to rescuers, and assist in finding the way back to help. Supplies in a survival kit normally include a [[knife]] (often a [[Swiss army knife]] or a [[multi-tool]]), [[matches]], [[tinder]], [[first aid kit]], [[bandana]], [[fish hook]]s, [[Sewing\|sewing kit]], and a [[flashlight]].

	Mini survival kits or "[[Altoids]]" tin survival kits are small kits that contain a few basic survival tools. These kits often include a small [[compass]], waterproof [[match]]es, minimum fishing tackle, large plastic bag, small candle, jigsaw blade, craft knife or scalpel blade, and/or a safety pin/s. Pre-packaged survival kits may also include instructions in survival techniques such as fire-starting or first aid methods. In addition, [[paracord]] can be wrapped around the tin. The paracord can be used for setting up an emergency shelter or snaring small animals. They are designed to fit within a container roughly the size of a mint tin.

	The [[United States Army\|U.S. Army]] uses several basic survival kits, mainly for aviators, some of which are stored in carrying bags. Aviators in planes with ejection seats have survival kits in a vest and the seat pan. The survival vest worn by US helicopter crews also contains some basic survival items.
