Elite Survival Kit

With the increase in violent weather and extreme storms more and more people are taking steps to prepare for survival situations. When such events and situations occur there is the potential of losing power, utilities and communications for extended periods of time. Even little things like the power to run water pumps compromise safety and the health of everyone involved. Based on recommendations from the federal government, a well prepared survival kit is indispensable next to having a well thought out and communicated survival and bug out plan.

Anyone who has spent any considerable amount of time hiking or recreating in the back-country is familiar with the “Ten Essentials” for wilderness travel. The “Ten Essentials” are: Navigation (map and compass), Sun protection (sunglasses and sunscreen), Insulation (extra clothing), Illumination (headlamp/flashlight), First-aid supplies, Fire (waterproof matches/lighter/candles), Repair kit and tools, Nutrition (extra food), Hydration (extra water), Emergency shelter.
