Essiential Equipment used in the Arena!

In the arena there are multiple different tools and equipment found and used to better enhance the tributes chance of living and surviving. The cornucopia, located in the center of the arena, is the prime source for lots of tools and equipment that the tributes use in the arena. Some important equipment used in the Hunger Games are backpacks, an awl, belt, body armor, a sleeping bag, and a bow and arrow.

Backpacks: contain supplies for the tributes, like ropes, flasks,  sleeping bags, wires and camouflage tools. During the 74th Hunger Games, Katniss took one and the boy from District 9 tried to kill her



 

Awl:  tool with a blade like a screwdriver and a handle made from wood or plastic, it is typically used for piercing holes in either wood or leather, however it can also be used as a weapon, usually used in close combat. Katniss used an Awl to pierce a hole in the tree to insert a spile for water.

 

Belt: Katniss uses her belt as one of her vital tools in the Hunger Games. She used it to tie herself to a tree and sleep in the 74th Hunger Games. Without it she would have been killed by the Career pack. However belts have also appeared in the 75th Hunger Games. Here the belts were used as flotation devices. Without them, most of the tributes would have drowned, because the Cornucopia was surrounded by water. 

 

Body Armour: Cinna designed a special mockingjay outfit for Katniss which incorporated body armor. This protected her when she was shot in District 2, although the bullet bruised her ribs and ruptured her spleen. He also designed a combat uniform for the rebel soldiers consisting of a close-fitting helmet composed of a supple, interwoven metal that could be drawn back like a hood, a vest, belt, earpiece, and gas mask.

 

Sleeping Bag: used for sleeping, usually consisting of 3 layers to keep warm and prevent from outside weather and such. In the 74th Hunger Games, Katniss had a sleeping bag. It was inside the backpack she got at the Cornucopia. The sleeping bag was made of the same fabric as the tributes' jackets. When she burned her leg she cut a hole in the bag for her leg.

 

Bow:  The bow and arrow is a projectile weapon that predates recorded history and is common to most cultures. Archery is the art, practice, or skill of applying it. Katniss Everdeen uses a bow to hunt for food in the woods, and it becomes her weapon of choice in the arena during the 74th Hunger Games. Gale Hawthorne is also a skilled archer, learning his skills from Katniss, who in turn learned from her father, Mr. Everdeen.
