Get Your Prepper Survival Pack Ready For That Day

By Edna Booker


That day, which is the day there is going to be something happen that sends you away from your home, is coming. There are those who believe this will be because of foreign invasion. It may be a large flood. It could also be anything, such as massive power outages or anything else that makes life unlivable or at least uncomfortable at home. Experts tell us that, when that time comes, everyone will need a Prepper Survival Pack.

This pack, often known as a bug out bag, has s specific purpose and that is to survive for a short time away from your home and normal supply channels. Each member of your party, be that a family, or loosely associated group of individuals, should be responsible for the actual carrying of their bag or pack.

The ingredients for this bag are crucial. Most experts in the field and participants of the survival movement state that a supply of life saving items should last for at least three days. This should be enough time to, if possible, find a safe place for more permanent arraignments. A look at these items will help you understand what is involved in this preparation.

Water for three days means about a gallon per day. This is not a time to concern yourself with taking a shower every day, but you will need to stay hydrated. If you are moving all of the time, this requirement can not be overlooked. This is also a heavy item, however, it is only one of a few things that have a lot of weight.

Food is another thing you must have and the lighter the items, the better. The advent of dehydrated food has really helped this regard. There are quite a few entrees available. The supplies of dehydrated fruit and other snack items will also keep our members happy as they usually taste pretty good. Yo do not want to pack a lot of cans.

The prepper will also need something that can serve as a roof and, possibly, a wall or two. This can be accomplished with a tent or a tarp that can be thrown over a limb or fence post. A sleeping bag for everyone will also help you get some sleep in a cold environment. Sleep is something that you need especially if you are going to be on the move most of the time.

A suitable first aid kit is absolutely necessary. This should include sanitary wipes, disinfectant and any medications your party normally takes. Bandages, compresses and some scissors or sharp knife will help administer some basic aid. Any medical pamphlets you have handy will also help understand what you are doing.

If you have food, water, shelter and a good knife, hand crank radio and flashlight, you are probably good to go. Remember, the idea is to pack light and have it all in back packs so it is easy to carry. The most important part of this preparation is to only take those things that are necessary, plus book or a magazine, just in case.
