A True Prepper Survival Pack Has A Lot Of Necessary Things

By Edna Booker


That day, which is the day there is going to be something happen that sends you away from your home, is coming. There are those who believe this will be because of foreign invasion. It may be a large flood. It could also be anything, such as massive power outages or anything else that makes life unlivable or at least uncomfortable at home. Experts tell us that, when that time comes, everyone will need a Prepper Survival Pack.

This kit is often called a bug out bag. That means that anything you have in this pack is all you are leaving your home with. It also means that carefully planned bag or pack must have essentials and nothing that can not be used. Each person must carry their own bag.

The items that should be in this kit should allow you to stay alive for about three days. This is a critical time line. It should allow your party to get away and find some place that can be fortified as a more permanent dwelling. A brief look at these things will help you understand the importance of this back pack full of survival items.

Water for three days means about three gallons. You are not going to have the supplies for a shower every day, so forget it. If you find a stream or river, that will suffice, but you need water to drink, carefully, and to cook. The importance of staying hydrated, especially if you are going to be doing some running is just as critical as when you were at home. This will probably be the heaviest item you will have in this kit.

Food is another thing you must have and the lighter the items, the better. The advent of dehydrated food has really helped this regard. There are quite a few entrees available. The supplies of dehydrated fruit and other snack items will also keep our members happy as they usually taste pretty good. Yo do not want to pack a lot of cans.

A tent or tarp can be your temporary home away from home as long as it keeps the rain and other harsh weather conditions out. The sleeping bag or a set of blankets for each person is also critical. You need sleep after a day of battling the environment or other dangerous conditions. Keeping everything dry and damage free will help you accomplish a level of comfort you need.

A suitable first aid kit is absolutely necessary. This should include sanitary wipes, disinfectant and any medications your party normally takes. Bandages, compresses and some scissors or sharp knife will help administer some basic aid. Any medical pamphlets you have handy will also help understand what you are doing.

This kit, bag or pack must contain all of the things that are going to keep you alive for a few days. Everything in it is crucial and valuable. The life you save, if only for a few days, is your own and, indirectly, your family, friends or others you cared enough about to take along. Think carefully about everything and throw in a paperback or two, just in case.
