They come from Creek Stewart, who owns Willow Haven Outdoor Survival Training School and is The Weather Channel's on-camera survival expert. Most hacks use simple physics you can test at home, like a gum wrapper shorting a battery.
I'm a total beginner. Is this for me?
I'm a total beginner. Is this for me?
Yes. Entries are short and written in plain language, and reviewers say even a child could follow them. It's built for people who never learned this growing up.
Are there pictures?
Are there pictures?
Every hack has an illustration, and some link to videos. It's an illustrated guide rather than a step-by-step photo manual.
Would I really read a book in an emergency?
Would I really read a book in an emergency?
No, and you shouldn't have to. Read it now and practice a few hacks, so the skills are in your head. Then keep it in the car or your bag as a backup.
I already carry a lighter. Why do I need this?
I already carry a lighter. Why do I need this?
Keep carrying it. This is for when the gear isn't there or stops working, including what to do when your lighter fails.
Is it good for teaching kids?
Is it good for teaching kids?
Outside Magazine Online liked it as puzzles for kids on camping trips. Treat the hacks as backyard projects, and keep an adult on hand for anything involving fire or blades.

Why Campers And Beginners Keep It In The Glovebox

Why Choose Survival Hacks?

Hear it from our customers!
"After The Ice Storm, I Wanted To Be Ready"
We sat through three days without power with one flashlight between us. This showed me how much useful stuff was already in my garage and glovebox. I've tried a dozen of the hacks with my kids in the backyard.
"Bought It For My Grandson, Then Read It Myself"
My grandson loves camping, so I got him a copy and read half of it before I wrapped it. He texted me a photo of the trash-bag shelter he built on his first trip with his dad.
"It Changed What I Keep In My Car"
I always figured survival meant expensive gear. Now there's a contractor bag, a few pop tabs and a Mylar chip bag in my glovebox, and I actually know what each one is for.
