Survival Kits
"He's making a list And checking it twice" - Santa Claus Is Coming To Town Song LyricsWhen it comes to survival kits you can buy or build your own. Many websites will sell you complete kits in a variety of sizes, for example: off road biking, http://www.thereadystore.com/, and Red Cross. You can also buy home & road kits at Walmart and other retail stores.
Personally I like making my own since many prepackaged kits are filled with little besides band-aids and drinking water. There are two ways you can approach kit making: follow a list or follow a principle.
Follow a List
The web has dozens (hundreds, thousands?) of lists for 72-hour kits. Here are some recommended lists...
- Homeland Security (FEMA)
- Red Cross
- About.com
- Classic Usenet article
- MormonShare.com
- Disaster Preparedness author Bev Qualheim
More on this tomorrow.... See Make a Survival Kit out of an Altoids Tin for examples.
Bottom Line
Get Kits. Get one for each family member, for each car, for your office, for suitcases when traveling. It really does not matter how. It is just important to have supplies when and where you need them.
