Did
you know that more people end Survive The End Days up in a worse situation in an emergency
when they are not prepared than those that are prepared? You might
think this is so simple, but did you realize whenever there is
something big or crazy that might happen people wait until last
minute or until it has already happened to become prepared. You could
honestly research how many people are in the lines during this time
of thing. Here might be a great idea if you are reading this. Get
paper and pen, and start writing down your emergency survival gear
list. First, you will want to know if you plan on staying at home
during this emergency or if you have to travel for whatever reason. I
recommend you be prepared for both.
The
stay at home survival can be easier because you have everything you
need for emergencies, like bed, blanket, couch, toilet. Also some
people buy complete solar base camp kits to stay powered up in their
homes and even if they can, at their camp sites, but if not, having a
survival pack would be a good idea. In a survival pack, you have to
think about many more issues and that is what we will cover. The
things that would be a good idea to have when you need survival
emergency gear. When
you are looking to pack your bag, think lightweight and portable.
Also, think about the weather, food, water, protection, and
endurance.
I
recommend you also start getting into shape. Really get into shape.
You will have to consider that having power in your body is just as
smart as having power on the go. Okay, so you got your pen and paper,
let's get hot. First, water is essential to your living. Start buying
it up and buy it in bulks. Bottles, jugs and filers. If you are
storing up for your home, then purchase as many as you can afford if
not buy 1 Jug, remember this is for the on the go survival. Buy or
use a water bottle that you already have. And pour that jug of water
into that container. Now, some people say get a new bottle of water,
you can do that as well. But you want to have water that you
immediately drink and a jug to mouth is not smart. So get 1 jug of
water, distilled is the best for this survival. Then a bottle of
water, new or old bottle. But have one, this is your drinking supply
for when you are traveling. Second, when you have the water issue
figured out, start thinking of food. Crackers, granola bars, mints,
bread, and caned soups. I can fit all that, one of each into a med
sized backpack and it is still light weight. Having food can help you
with energy and staying powered up in case of other issues on the
trip.
Third,
protection is vital to your survival from animals to other people.
Now do not just assume that during a crazy time that every person you
encounter has lost their minds and wants to kill you, but it is a
good idea to stay away from others if at all possible, if not, ask
them couple questions and see if they try anything slick. You do want
to cause an issue if they are harmless. Ask them questions like where
their from, their names, if they have any other survivors with them.
You are asking these questions in order to gauge their responses. You
might as well ask them if they are intending on harming you because
if they are, leave right away from them as soon as possible. But you
also want to know about them and their backgrounds. Also, if they
have seen other people where they came from and if they have anything
to trade like medical supply, food, water, shelter, protection, etc.
Having a knife would be a good idea for when you need to skin an
animal for food or for protection.
Fourth,
clothing is of course a much needed thing in any condition for
protection from the elements and to staying decent. Having dark
colored clothing during the night time is the smart way to go because
you can travel at night and not be seen. Also, having a light colored
shirt in the day time because it will reduce your body of absorbing
sunlight thus, making you hot and sweaty. You should have both types
of socks, long and short. Long for cold temperatures and short for
hot. Also, having underwear is smart, but here is something you might
not know. You can make one pair of underwear last about 3 days or
longer. How? After about the first day, you can turn the boxers
around, and the third day, you can turn them inside out. And then
around again. This might seem crazy but here it is about survival and
using all the knowledge possible. You will want to have a jacket as
well so you can use it for a blanket night. You might as well have a
small blanket if you can fit it into your bad, take it with.
Fifth,
power is also a needed thing nowadays with all the technology that is
happening. And even in bad conditions, you never know what satellites
and such will still be operational and work for consumers. You could
be able to contact others with your cell phone, iPhone, walkie
talkie, GPS and laptop. But in order to get power for those devices,
you will need power and you can get that with a portable solar
charger. There are many on the market, but having one that can power
many devices and recharge with a strong solar panel can some-times be
hard. Not to mention that when you are shopping for solar panels you
are never told about real field testing like some other companies do.
Some of the companies just put the solar panels together and sell and
never have actually field tested the panels in bad and good
conditions. Having some portable solar chargers like the Sherpa 120
Adventure Kit can be useful because it is lightweight and will fit in
your backpack and comes with a foldable solar panel. Also, having
some batteries won't hurt as way to get power as well. Plus batteries
can help you start fires for warmth.
