Purchasing Or Assembling A 3 Day Survival Kit

By Stacey Burt


No one knows what the future may bring and it is always best to be well-prepared. That is why assembling or purchasing a 3 day survival kit is so important. In an emergency, it is the first three twenty-four hour periods that are the most critical so it is best to be ready for whatever life aims your way.

An emergency could consist of an enemy attack, a nuclear or other bomb, or severe weather fluctuations such as a tornado, hurricane or tsunami. Whatever the case, the essential supplies and all of your necessary equipment on hand when these life-threatening event occur can be what saves the lives of yourself and your family.

You must have several important items at your disposal during this crucial time. It can be days or even weeks before help arrives and even then resources may be spread very thin. If you have your own supplies ready to go, you will not have to depend on others to stay alive and healthy. These necessary items include water, food, first aid supplies, communication devices, warmth, shelter and meal preparation equipment.

You can actually purchases boxes and bags of prepared food items in case of these situations. For such a short time period, you can also assemble your own necessities. Some of the items you may wish to consider are powdered drinks and milk, dried foods such as meats, beans, and fruit, canned goods such as soups and stews, and power bars for the energy you will need. Water should always be ready to grab. Containers can be filled and stored days in advance. Gallon jugs or larger receptacles can also be purchased and available.

A quality first-aid kit is essential. It should include band aids, aspirin and other pain relievers, antacids, antibiotics, scissors, tape, gauze, a thermometer and a cold pack. A good first aid guide and any medications taken by your family members should also be included. Communication devices are also necessary. Consider a two-way radio, a regular battery or solar radio, and cell phones with battery chargers. Extra batteries will also be needed.

Other necessities can include flashlights, lighters, matches, tools, a manual can opener, sanitation items, and cooking equipment. Other items will depend greatly on your family makeup. If you have small children, baby supplies may be needed. Pet owners will have to keep their animals' needs in mind also. Keep copies of personal documents such as birth certificates and social security cards ready to go as well as a substantial amount of cash.

The type of shelter you require will depend on the emergency and the part of the country where you live. Those who live in areas with harsh winters or heavy rains will need more adequate shelter than those who reside in warm or tropical states. The type of emergency will determine whether you must leave your home or not. If you do, you will need a tent or at the very minimum, a large tarp, rope and stakes. Blankets and sleeping bags are also needed. A company that specializes in preparing for disasters will have special blankets that hold in the warmth much more efficiently.

It is always best to be ready and prepared in the case of an emergency. It can make the difference between life and death. Begin immediately by purchasing and assembling these articles and other items that are essential to your family's health and safety.
