Green Beret’s Layered 10 C’s of Survivability Kit with Gear Recommendations

In this document, I link to the items I use and recommend for your reference and convenience. Most of the links point either to Amazon or Self Reliance Outfitters — the two places I most often buy my gear. The Amazon links are affiliate links. Should you buy any of the gear I reference, I will receive a small commission. Also, as one of the lead instructors at the Pathfinder School, I have the ability to offer you 10% off of your purchase at SelfRelianceOutfitters.com. On the last page before checkout, type PATHFINDER10GB in the “Giftcard or Discount Code” section. Should you use this code, I will receive a small commission that supports the channel. It is appreciated. The other links I have no affiliation with. All gear, affiliate linked or not, I have used in the field and tested and am comfortable endorsing and recommending.
