Emergency Survival Kits
Emergency survival kits can and will save your life in case of an emergency. There are various types of kits, some pre-made, and some you can make yourself. Kit contents vary depending on the type, but most often will include some of the same items.
For basic survival, such as being out in the wild, a kit should include waterproof matches, tablets for purifying water, a blanket to keep you warm, and possibly a flare gun or flare. This way you can set off a signal letting rescuers know where you are. Before you ever go on a wilderness trip, let people know your itinerary just in case something was to happen to you.
Home survival kits should include enough food and water to get you through at least 72 hours without power or access to any sustenance. It should also include blankets to keep you warm and candles for when it`s dark. Matches also should be included in the kit. Always make sure that there is enough for at least 72 hours.
Survival kits are extremely important and you should make sure that you have at least a home kit for you and your family. Always keep your kit stocked with fresh supplies, and keep an eye on expiration dates. There`s no sense in trying to feed your family food that will make them sick.
