If you ever find yourself in a survival or worst case scenario, do you know what you need? Imagine for a second that you are lost in a wilderness area, social unrest has erupted, you’re the victim of an accident, or caught in a natural disaster.

Given that you are reading this, chances are that you have a fairly good idea of what to do, but do you have the basic, essential tools to help you survive. 

Even if you don’t have a commercial emergency kit you may already have the essentials to put together your very own homemade survival kit. Building homemade survival kits from scratch can be very satisfying, yet also very intimidating. To see how to construct your Homemade Survival Kits click here

“A kit should contain basic elements to help you establish shelter, direction, water collection and the ability to catch or snare food. Many survival kits are available from different retailers. However, it is certainly possible to assemble your own kit in a size that is easy to transport.

Step 1
Select a small, durable and water resistant container for the kit. There are many options for storing a survival kit including metal containers with hinged lids and even sealing plastic bags. The main things to consider are the degree of water resistance and size, making sure the container is big enough to accommodate the contents. Consider placing a small container in a plastic bag for additional protection.

Step 2
Include fire-starting materials in your kit. Include more than one means of starting a fire. A small butane lighter, magnesium fire starter, waterproof matches, tinder and even a small piece of candle with wick are good choices. Never rely on only one method of fir-starting. Fire is a psychological boost. By making a fire you have the ability to somewhat control your situation and determine the outcome. Staying warm is nice too.

Step 3
Consider a means for collecting and purifying water. You can go much longer without food than you can water, especially under a stressful situation. Dehydration may quickly set in with symptoms ranging from mild disorientation to black out. Carry a few water purification tablets and a small piece of plastic sheeting or bag. If you choose a metal container for your kit, this may be used for boiling small amounts of water for drinking.
