Even nature enthusiasts are allowed to go digital sometime. While true-blue survivalists might balk at using their smartphone to get out of a sticky situation, if you’re just new to this whole outdoor exploration thing, then you’d find comfort in the fact that there’s an app to help you when you get lost or when you’re bitten by an unknown insect. The Survivor Tools app in Beta mode will become your best friend as you trek through that figurative (or literal) jungle out there.
The main purpose in using the app is (if you don’t have an actual one) it is an accurate compass with different modes, like Normal, Satellite, Hybrid and Terrain. You can even save some specific places, for example your campsite, the main entrance to the humongous park, or your sources of food and water for your entire stay. If for some reason your flashlight stopped working, you can use the app’s flashlight mode and if it’s an emergency, you can use the S.O.S flashlight for faster response.
It’s not just useful in the mountains or the woods, but even in urban settings, you can use the app to navigate your way across the city. You can also contact emergency local services and they’ll find your exact location if you don’t know where you are. You can even broadcast to all your contacts where you are exactly and based on your longitude and longitude, they can track you on Google Maps.
And of course, it wouldn’t be a survivor tool if the app doesn’t have a survival manual, and it is the latest and updated version of the US Army Survival Manual. So before going off on a new outdoor adventure, you can download the Survivor Tools Beta for free from the Google Play Store.
