How To Prepare Vital Family Survival Kits

By Tammie Caldwell


Protecting your loved ones means being there when they need you most. Vital family survival kits becomes the ultimate gesture when disaster comes knocking. This foresight means that your loved ones will be cushioned from such extremes as hunger, thirst and cold in case of an emergency.

It has taken years of research in survival to develop the ideal kit in terms of content and shape. The aim is to provide cushion to households and peace of mind whenever disaster displaces families and communities. With adequate basic needs for the entire family for days, weeks months or the entire year, you can plan your next action with peace of mind. This cushion provides enough time to explore alternatives as you adjust to your new situation.

Disasters require you to leave your house, office and even neighborhood within minutes. In most cases, you have no idea where to meet. During disasters, communication networks are also likely to collapse. As a household, it is important to have a meet-up or assembly point in case of a disaster. However, once you have met, there are long hours, days, weeks and months ahead before you resume normal life. This calls for preparedness.

The nature of each kit depends on the size of household you have in mind when preparing and how long you want to cover them. A standard pack is designed to cover the needs of an individual for a year. Where children are involved, different components will be required. Elderly people will also require a different set of items. This calls for awareness of the needs of individual members of your household.

A situation where there are four adults in the household means that they will spend in three months what a single adult would have spent in a year. Each is entitled to two servings a day for this duration. The use of Mylar pouches ensures that the food is totally protected from damage. Each pouch has four servings which helps to prevent wastage.

Some of the foods included in the bucket are multi-grain cereals, noodle soup, baked potato casserole and a mixture of beans and rice. There also are vegetables, macaroni and tortilla soup. Apple cinnamon cereals are also include, among other food varieties. These foods are approved by non profit preparedness organizations as well as government agencies. They meet the highest standards and will guarantee the energy and good health you require over the emergency period.

The addition of waterproof matches, emergency candles, water and rechargeable battery touch is aimed at making your survival easier. There is a whistle, blankets and a tube tent that can comfortably house two adults. Palm work gloves and function knife are also included. Other items are pocket tissue pack, fresheners and toilet bars. Beyond health and nutrition, the items ensure that your stay is as hygienic as possible. A pack of cards is included to occupy your time while displaced.

Professional bucket design allows them to stably stack together without requiring a shelf. It has a grab and go handle that fits the few minutes you have to prepare for an emergency. The food can last up to 25 years without going bad in the absence of refrigeration. The pack comes in a manageable weight.
