I took a look at Bill's PSK Cheat Sheet, borrowed some from ETS with Doug’s permission, fired up PageMaker and made my own version since it seemed like a good idea. It covers what, to me, are the basics that I may need help remembering or that someone else may need if I can't communicate with them:
- STOP and the 6 priorities, Medical Care, Shelter, Fire, Signaling, Water and Food.
- Signaling, with mirror, whistle, smoke, ground-to-air.
- Water Treatment, with bleach, iodine, boiling and Potable Aqua.
- Finding Water, Water Collection, with transpiration bag or solar still.
- Fire Starting, location, kinds of tinder, etc.
- Fishing Knots, because I don't fish and would never remember them.
- Finding North, with wristwatch, shadow stick and the North Star.
Yes, it’s minimalist, but it has the basics, albeit in an abbreviated form. I left of first aid for several reasons: space (bulk), but mainly because brevity in first aid instructions can do more harm than good, in my opinion.
Like Bill’s sheet, I made a .pdf of mine so it can be reproduced, and I’m always tinkering with it!
