Basics & Emergency Gear
Always ready: essentials and emergency equipment for every adventure!
Survival cord, 1.7mm, breaking load: 250kg
From
€25.00*
Survival cord 1.7 mm, 4 different colors
„His life was hanging by a thread” – everybody knows the phrase to describe situations where survival is at stake. Luckily, modern synthetic high-performance threads make these circumstances much less precarious as the phrase suggests. So why not rely on strings or cords made from such threads in your wilderness adventures?
If you regularly encounter extreme outdoor conditions in your hobby or your job, you need light, durable and multi-purpose equipment which gives you the most performance per pound. Apart from a good knife, a length of good string is part of the absolute essentials in Bushcraft. Among other things, our Survival Cord will help you (in alphabetical order) to attach, carry, clean, dress wounds, fasten, fish, girdle, guide, hang, hunt, label, patch, repair, rig, save, saw, secure, signal, splice, splint, thread, tie, tow, trap, warn, weave and much, much more.
The Nakatanenga cord sports a Kernmantle-style structure, an extremely light yet highly tearproof synthetic material, which, incidentally, we also use in our heavy duty winch cables. But in contrast to these ropes, the Survival Cord is only an astonishing 1.7 mm thin, while still boasting a breaking load of incredible 250 kg. That is more or less the weight for standard survival paracords, which in turn are usually more than twice as thick, though. Carry our Nakatanenga cord with you and it’ll be a load off your mind.
You can use the 33 m length of string in your survival pouch or backpack to weave a thicker rope for emergencies. Another good idea is to take about 2 m or so to make an equally stylish and handy survival bracelet. How-to videos can be easily found on Youtube. With such a bracelet you’ll always carry your potential lifesavers in different lengths with you, without the risk of losing, forgetting or misplacing them. The ends can be easily sealed with a match or lighter, positively preventing the threads to fray. Another advantage of synthetic fibers.
The Nakatanenga Survival Cord (33 m) comes in Black, Orange, Olive and Coyote.

Trekking bundle including storage bag
Some tools are indispensable when you want to set up a proper camp while on holiday, off-roading or on expedition. For tough jobs like digging or wood work, you want high quality tools in your basic equipment. Our compact tool bundle in the practical roll-up bag features a Swiss military pickaxe as well as an all-purpose hatchet and a Japanese-style pruning saw, both by Bellota.
The military pickaxe with its forged pick and the flat head is ideal for quick digs around the camp: making a firepit, digging drains, removing rocks from the tent area and a lot of other jobs. The all-purpose hatchet by Spanish Manufacturer Bellota is made in the Biscayne trade axe style, a traditional and very ergonomic design. Making kindling or firewood, delimbing trees or removing underbrush from your camp – no problem for the Bellota. And when you need precision in your wood working tasks, you can always rely on the foldable Japanese pruning saw with its extremely sharp blade. It adds exactness and speed to all sorts of jobs around the camp site, e.g. cutting poles for shelter or tripods and so forth.
The Nylon roll-up bag for your tools features extra-strong seams and is as sturdy as it is easy to clean – providing neat and safe storage for your basic camp site kit. The tool roll features strong straps to tighten the bundle as well as carrying handles and fastening slings for safe and compact transport. And by the way: with an overall weight of only 2.5 kg approximately and packing dimensions of 58 x 15cm, this tool-set will fit anywhere.

Swiss Pioneer Pick with Bag
€79.00*
Swiss Pioneer Pick with Bag
It’s not only watches and pocket knives that the Swiss do really, really well, they also know a thing or two about cruder tools. This pickaxe for example is used by the Swiss army engineer corps and it’s both extremely well-made and versatile. You can use it for all kinds of outdoor activities, as off-road equipment and much more. The forged steel head offers a point and a flat blade for all kinds of digging work required in a camp, e.g. making a fire pit, digging rain trenches around your tent or cracking ice in winter.
When compared to a foldable army spade, this traditional pick offers considerable advantages. Especially on very hard or stony ground, digging with a folding spade is often difficult or even impossible. The army spade’s folding hinges limit the force that can be exerted and they also tend to get damaged or worn-out. In contrast, the pickaxe’s simple design means that the physical force is concentrated on a very small area at the tip or the blade. That makes the pickaxe your tool of choice, especially when it comes to harder surfaces. And besides, most outdoor digging tasks don’t involve removing huge amounts of soil. In most cases, loosening and scraping will suffice and for that the Swiss army pick is ideal.
With its length of roughly 30 cm for the head and 52 cm for the high-quality wooden shaft and its overall weight of only 1.3 kg approximately, this pickaxe is both easy to pack and to transport. A sturdy roll-up bag made from PU-coated nylon keeps the pick always neatly stowed and guarantees that your other equipment won’t get soiled or damaged. The pointy or sharp ends of the pick’s head are protected by a separate pouch. The roll-up bag is easy to clean and features Velcro strips and click buckles to secure it. A strong handle, finally, makes for easy carrying.

First Aid - IFAK Bundle
€39.00*
Hardly any situation in life requires as much concentration, calm and determination as first aid in the event of an accident, especially when it involves serious bleeding and life-threatening injuries - to others or to yourself. No matter how much training, education or experience you have in first aid, in the hopefully never-occurring event of an accident, one thing is crucial: always knowing that all the necessary first aid equipment is quickly to hand and ready for use.
Our first aid bag, the IFAK ‘Improved First Aid Kit ’, contains all the essential first aid equipment for trauma first aid, allowing you to gain valuable time until the injured person can receive medical treatment. Of course, the emergency bag also offers enough space for additional equipment, dressing material and other first aid utensils tailored to your own needs.

You can attach the bag to various carriers, organisers, panels or rucksacks with the MOLLE system. This pouch can also be used as a small multi-purpose pouch thanks to its neutral black colour.
The Velcro base plate is already included in the scope of delivery.
What is Molle? Information can be found in the downloads.
There is a Molle system on the outer surface so that you can either attach another small pouch to it or attach small non-slip items, such as emergency scissors.
There is also a Molle system on the back of the base plate. This allows the bag to be easily attached to our tactical rucksack, for example.

Material: 100% nylon
And by the way: at Nakatanenga, we only use materials with a 100% nylon PU coating for all textile items. In contrast to PVC, nylon PU (polyurethane) is free from harmful phthalate-based plasticisers. Until recently, low-molecular phthalates were the most common plasticisers for plastics of all kinds and are even used in food and cosmetics. However, they accumulate in the environment and are suspected of acting like endogenous hormones due to their molecular nature. This is highly questionable from a toxicological point of view and is considered a trigger for various diseases, including cancer. For Nakatanenga, it is therefore a matter of course to use only ecologically and health-friendly alternatives such as nylon PU when coating textile products.
Our large first aid bag (with or without contents) is still available here.

First Aid - Tourniquet, ligation system
€13.00*
Tourniquet, ligation system When it comes to first aid after life-threatening accidents, the most important things to have are training, regular practice and quick access to proper first response equipment. This holds true for rescuing others as well as treating one’s own injuries if help is far away. Even with the most traumatic injuries, there is a great chance for survival if correct measures are taken immediately. The initial 5 minutes after the injury are crucial for first response, as is the so-called “golden hour” in which an injured person should then be delivered into professional medical care. In the 1990s, based on the requirement of special forces operations where paramedics are often not present and injured personnel has to be airlifted to receive medical care, the American military developed the TCCC Tactical Combat Casualty Care first response concept. TCCC enables everyone to administer first aid to heavily injured persons and give them the valuable time until professional medical help is available. TCCC is specifically designed to include one’s own injuries. An important item in any TCCC kit is a tourniquet, a high-pressure bandage to prevent fatal blood loss from extremities with arterial bleeding. In a civilian context, if your work or hobby carries a risk of severe injuries to your arms and legs, you should have a tourniquet in your first aid or trauma kit. This applies to accidents caused by machinery, timber or forestry work, hunting, motorsports, expeditions and many other activities. The tourniquet is non-sterile and can be applied with two hands to other people and single-handedly to your own injuries, ideally 2-4 inches above the wound. The tourniquet consists of a super-strong band and solid buckles to hold it firmly in place before pressure is applied. While other products often feature plastic windlass rods, this one is made from aluminum for extra strength and stability when tightening the device. The exact time of setting can be noted on the cuff for further care. If you want to put a trauma kit together, you should also consider an Israeli bandage to control heavily bleeding injuries and a vented chest seal to apply to penetrating, open chest wounds. CAUTION: In order to execute first aid procedures effectively and safely, the techniques for applying emergency dressings or bandages like a TCCC tourniquet should be practiced regularly – ideally in connection with first aid courses.

First Aid - Israeli Bandage Pack, 4"
€9.00*
Israeli Bandage
The most important thing for first aid in life-threatening accidents is education, regular training and quick access to suitable equipment. This applies both to rescuing others and to self-care for your own injuries if help is far away. There is a good chance of survival even in the case of injuries with severe bleeding if action is taken quickly and purposefully. First aid in the first 5 minutes and the so-called ‘golden hour’, when the injured person should be in the hands of medical personnel at the latest, are crucial.
A good pressure bandage is often enough to give the injured person the necessary time to receive medical treatment. The so-called Israeli Bandage is an emergency pressure bandage that can also be applied to oneself with one hand. It was developed by an Israeli military doctor for use in combat and has since been used by the US Army and many other armed forces.
The Israeli bandage is made of sterile pressure bandage material with a sewn-in plastic clip and fastening hook. This system can be used to stop bleeding quickly and effectively, even in the case of self-inflicted injuries. The bandage material is inserted into the bracket after wrapping and then tightened by pulling in the opposite direction. The wrapping is then continued and fixed at the end with the sewn-in fastening hooks. In contrast to the tourniquet, this means that parts of the body other than the limbs can also be treated. The Israeli Bandage is an indispensable item for all first aid kits, especially if you are exposed to major injury risks at work or as a hobby.
If you would like to put together a trauma first aid kit, you will also find a TCCC tourniquet for tying off bleeding limbs here.
NOTE: The application of emergency pressure dressings should be practised regularly so that you can react safely and quickly in an emergency - preferably in conjunction with first aid courses.

Tool Roll Maxi
€92.00*
No rummaging around required with our Tool Roll Maxi. Just like with its smaller version, the Tool Roll Mini, you get a maximum of space and orderliness from a very compact package. Bigger and heavier tools and accessories are just as quickly within reach as they are stowed away. Think sets of wrenches for off-roaders and bikers or collections of arts and crafts utensils like paint tubes, pens, brushes or carving tools. Kitting out this tool roll is never an issue, due to its 18 pockets and the generous overall size of 44,5 x 81 cm. If it fits your hand, it will (almost) always fit the Tool Roll Maxi.
In the production of the Tool Roll Maxi, we only use high quality, durable materials. Hand sewn seams make sure you can roll it up or unroll it countless times without tearing. PU-coated Nylon makes the Tool Roll easy to clean and odorless. Two sturdy adjustable Nylon straps with snap-lock buckles hold everything firmly in place when transporting your tools. When you’re working you can also hang the roll by the strap on a wall in your garage, from your car or even a tree.
If you’re a fan of fancy dining in the great outdoors, look no further than our Tool Roll Maxi Hungry Edition – a complete set of quality cutlery and cutting knives by WMF.
You can also choose our Tool Roll Mini if your weight or size requirements are somewhat smaller. If you need to go real big on the other hand, our modular Tool Roll with Velcro pouches is the one for you.
