Buying a 72 Hour Emergency Survival Gear
It's dark, cold and your family is looking for you figure out what to do. Now is not the time to plan for a disaster. Some disasters provide early warning others do not, in either case, the best time to prepare is months ahead of time. The single best preparation decision you can make is to purchase a 72 hour survival kit for each member of your family. The best kits come prepackaged in a sturdy backback. These 72 hour survival backpacks are easy to store and when placed near an exit, they are at the ready in the event of a sudden evacuation and are easy to carry. Larger kits normally are packed in 5 gallon plastic cans. These are used for offices, classrooms or for families.
The best solution would be to have large emergency kit for the family as well as a backpack for quick evacuations. This not only gives additional supplies, but also provides for a more flexible response to a disaster when needed.
When building or buying a emergency preparedness kit, consider all the likely disasters that may occur in your part of the country. Hurricanes, earthquakes, tornadoes, wildfires, landslides or since 911, terrorist attacks are all possible scenarios. 72 Hour survival backpacks or 72 hour survival kits kits are also nice to have in your Car, RV, and Motor home or at your vacation home. You can never completely
So what are the essential items to keep in your 72 hour kit?
This a list of what I consider some essential emergency supplies:
- Battery powered or hand crank radio
- First aid kit
- Flashlight, battery and hand crank
- Sleeping bags
- Manual can opener
- Non-perishable food
- Extra eyglasses
- Water (look for water and food with shelf lives of 5 years - most bottle water is only good for a year or two)
water purification tablets and a utility knife - You may also want in your 72 hour survival kit some candles for emergency purposes
- Extra clothing and some essential medications
