Suggestions from the guide
If there’s one thing that can save your life, it’s a survival kit. You never know when you might need it and having a pre-made kit can help make sure you’re ready for anything. But creating your own survival kit is easier than you think and doesn’t have to be expensive!
Get a backpack.
You’ll want to get a backpack that is durable, waterproof and has a strong frame. A large capacity pack is ideal because it will allow you to carry all of your gear without having to worry about how much space it takes up in your bag. The backpack should also have padded shoulder straps and waistband for comfort during long hikes or treks through the wilderness.
The chest strap should help distribute weight evenly across both shoulders, while hip straps help stabilize the load on your hips so it doesn’t bounce around as much when walking over rough terrain like rocks or tree roots (or even just asphalt).
Choose a waterproof container.
- Waterproof containers are available in many shapes and sizes. Plastic, metal, and waterproof fabric are all viable options for storing your survival kit. The size of the container depends on how much space you have available and how much you want to store in it.
- To test a container for watertightness: Place the item inside the container with its lid on tightly (use duct tape or another type of sealant if necessary). Fill up most of the space with water until it reaches just below where you think would be enough pressure for breaking through any seams or seals that may exist on either side of said seam–if there was no sealant applied during construction then this should be equal distance from both sides’ edges. Leave overnight so any trapped air can escape before testing again tomorrow morning; if there’s still any leaking after 24 hours then leave longer until no more leaks occur!
Choose a day pack.
It is important to choose a day pack that is comfortable and fits your body. If you are going to be carrying the backpack for long periods of time, it needs to feel good on your back. Look for a backpack with padded shoulder straps and waist belt as well as one with a hip belt if possible. A chest strap will help keep the bag close to your body so it doesn’t bounce around when walking or running through rough terrain.
Pack your kit with food, water, and warmth.
You should pack food that is high in calories and water that will stay fresh for a long time.
You’ll also want to pack warm clothing and a sleeping bag or blankets if you can fit them into your kit.
Store medications and medical supplies in airtight containers.
- Store medications and medical supplies in airtight containers. Keeping out moisture, humidity, and insects can help you to preserve your medications for longer periods of time.
- Plastic bags with zip locks are an inexpensive option for storing small items such as bandages or gauze sponges. You can also use clean glass jars that have screw tops (such as pickle jars) to store larger items like antibiotic ointment or antacids that come in tubes or bottles with caps that don’t seal tightly enough on their own.*
Make sure you can see what’s inside with labels or clear plastic bags.
- Make sure you can see what’s inside with labels or clear plastic bags.
- Use labels to indicate what’s inside each bag, as well as the date when it was packed. This will help you know if anything has expired, and it makes it easier for others to find what they need when they want to use your kit in an emergency situation (if they don’t know where everything is).
- Use large clear plastic bags for things like clothing and blankets; smaller ones are good for food and water items like MREs (Meals Ready-to-Eat), canned goods, dried fruits/vegetables, etc.; even smaller ones are great for first aid supplies such as bandages/gauze pads/tape etc., medications like ibuprofen tablets (Advil), antihistamines (Benadryl), antacids such as Tums or Rolaids; other essential items include matches/lighters
Creating a survival kit is simple but takes planning and preparation
Creating a survival kit is simple but takes planning and preparation. The first step is to make sure you have the right gear in your car, home, and office.
- Car: You can never have too many flashlights, batteries and flares in case of an emergency out on the road.
- Home: Have at least one first aid kit in each room of your house so that it’s accessible in case of injury or illness (see below). Also keep some bottled water stored away for emergencies–you never know when there might be a gas leak or plumbing problem that causes water supply issues! If possible, store non-perishable food items too (like peanut butter & jelly sandwiches). This way if there’s ever a power outage or other situation where people won’t be able to go outside their homes easily then everyone will still be able to eat something nutritious during those days/weeks until everything returns back to normal again.”
The key takeaway from this section is that survival kits are simple, but they take a lot of planning and preparation. You should make sure your kit will help you survive in the event of an emergency by thinking about what’s most important to you and preparing accordingly.
