Survival Kits

Picture
Whether you're going on a lengthy bike ride, a hunting trip, or just a week or two of camping, having the right survival kits on hand can mean the difference between living well and being caught in a truly catastrophic and potentially deadly situation. The outdoors present a very specific set of risks and potential hazards, therefore choosing supplies for wilderness survival kits have some specific requirements that other survival kits don’t have. One example is that a kit meant for the wilderness has to be much more lightweight and portable than most full feature survival kits and emergency supplies

In addition to the risks associated with outdoor activities, you never know when a major disaster may strike close to you, so it always pays off to be prepared. This means being ready and equipped with the proper supplies you may need in the event of an emergency or disaster. Keep your supplies in an easy-to-carry emergency survival kit that you can use at home or take with you in case you must evacuate.

 
Emergency survival kits include supplies and tools to give a survivor with basic shelter against the elements, meet basic health and first aid needs, provide food and water, signal to rescuers, and assist in finding the way back to help. Typical tools and supplies in a survival kit are: a knife, matches, tinder, first aid kit, bandana, fish hooks, sewing kit, and a flashlight. Here are some additional suggestions on what to consider when picking out survival kits.


At a minimum, you should have the basic supplies listed below:

Water—one gallon per person, per day (3-day supply for evacuation, 2-week supply for home)
Food—non-perishable, easy-to-prepare items (3-day supply for evacuation, 2-week supply for home)
Flashlight

Consider the needs of all family members and add supplies to your kit. Suggested items to help meet additional needs are:
Medical supplies (hearing aids with extra batteries, glasses, contact lenses, syringes, etc)
Baby supplies (bottles, formula, baby food, diapers)
Games and activities for children
Pet supplies (collar, leash, ID, food, carrier, bowl)
