Survival Kits, Emergency Kits & Bug out Bags

Many of you reading this article may not even own survival kits or some form of emergency kit needed in times of a sudden disaster. When Japan suffered a devastating earthquake in 2011 several towns and cities were left without fresh water, electricity and any way to keep warm. Thousands died after the tsunami that followed and not by drowning but by not having an emergency kit that would have kept them alive.

Ultimate Bug Out Kit

The hurricane that swept across the Gulf of Mexico and killed thousands in New Orleans left people fighting each other for fresh supplies of water and much needed emergency medication. Survival kits are essential in case of a disaster and a tragedy can happen anywhere in the world and at any time. An emergency could be due to a man-made or natural disasters like a volcanic eruption or even drought. The difference between life and death depends on whether you are prepared to have the necessary equipment on your person immediately after the disaster.

Bug out bags contains a range of essential goods that will keep you alive in the event of a travesty of nature or a life changing sudden event. In a bug out bag there will be enough food and water to keep you alive for 72 hours. This is the time span it would normally take before genuine emergency help is available to you. In the Hurricane Katrina disaster several people died after the storm had passed, a bug out bag may have saved the lives of many more that had needlessly perished.

Water is essential for washing, cooking and drinking. You will need at least five pints a day minimum to get through those first 72 hours. Survival food is naturally of the non-perishable variety. Water purification tablets help to turn contaminated water into drinkable liquid or water you can at least cook with. A bug out bag or survival kit should contain the the most essential items such as basic cooking supplies like a small pan to hold your food in while you cook it.

You may also need to start a fire, for cooking or to keep yourself warm. Rubbing two sticks together does not always work, so matches and rod lighters should be included in your kit for easy fire management. A survival kit can be the difference as to whether you live or die in the event of a disaster, so be prepared and bug out.
