"Hi, this is John Stewart, and this is a few things of survival needs, that you can put together for a camping trip. When going on a camping trip, it's nice to have a survival pack, just so you can have stuff, in case you run into a problem. A few things that you should probably put in that pack, is marking tape, marking tape in a bright color. This is helpful, because you can take and mark the path that you're walking. Other people will see these, and also if you decide you need to turn around, you can follow your trail back. A knife, a knife can either be used for making spears, cutting stuff, and they come in a lot of handy ways. You want to take some extra twine. Twine can be used for tying stuff up, stringing your shelter together, and stuff like that. Take some duct tape. Duct tape can be key. It helps repair stuff, and it also can help, in case of splinting stuff. Take a little bit of first aid equipment. A couple of band-aids, gauze, ointment, stuff like that, to where if you have a scrape or something, you can easily bandage that up, to where it doesn't get infected. These are just a few things you can use for survival needs, to pack on a camping trip."
