Assembling Or Purchasing A 3 Day Survival Kit

By Stacey Burt


The future may bring any number of emergencies into your life and it is always best to be highly proactive and very prepared to face whatever comes your way. During an emergency, a 3 day survival kit will get you off on the right foot to maintain your entire family. It is this time period that is the most important and critical as help may take that long or longer to arrive.

An emergency can take the shape of many forms. It can be a hurricane, tornado, tsunami, or even a nuclear or bomb attack. Not matter what the case, the supplies you have on hand and the equipment you have ready can be the tools that save your family from this life-threatening catastrophe.

You are going to need a variety of items to ensure your safety and sustainability. By having these at your disposal for even this short period will give you time to re-group and re-think your position and then react. You will be ready to take on so much more than other individuals who did not have the foresight to prepare for such occurrences. Necessary items will include food, first aid items, shelter and blankets, communication devices, food and food preparation equipment.

There are many companies that sell prepared sets of prep items for any type of emergency. They can be pricey but they do last for long periods of time and are very convenient. If you do not have these funds in your budget, select a variety of canned and dried foods that fit your needs and those of your family members. These can include powdered milk and drinks, canned fruits and vegetables, dried meats and fruits, and staples such as crackers and cereals. Always have jugs or containers of water on hand. Simply fill them and place them where they will be easily accessible. Keeping containers of water in your freezer will also help your frozen foods stay cold for several hours if the power goes off.

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 where you live and the type of emergency you are facing. You may or may not be able to stay in your home. If you are forced to leave, a tent is critical. Blankets or sleeping bags are also needed. Some emergency kits come with Mylar blankets for optimal heat.

Being ready and prepared for any emergency will help safeguard you and your loved ones. Begin all of your preparations immediately and your chances of surviving will increase greatly. There is no such thing as being too ready for a catastrophe.
