Get Your Prepper Survival Pack Ready For That Day

By Edna Booker


Since prepper is a name that means to prepare for something, this person must do tings that ensure they are ready for that something. That something could be a foreign invasion or a flood that sends them out of their home. It could be other weather related disasters and it could be something that the government is doing that has everyone in the area scared. These people usually prepare, first, a Prepper Survival Pack.

This unit is very often called a bug out bag. And it has a purpose that is critical. It is designed and should be planned to provide vital items for your survival. Each member of your family or other group you will be traveling with should have their own bag or kit. This is the part about personal responsibility that everyone hears about.

The items that should be in this kit should allow you to stay alive for about three days. This is a critical time line. It should allow your party to get away and find some place that can be fortified as a more permanent dwelling. A brief look at these things will help you understand the importance of this back pack full of survival items.

Water for three days means about three gallons. You are not going to have the supplies for a shower every day, so forget it. If you find a stream or river, that will suffice, but you need water to drink, carefully, and to cook. The importance of staying hydrated, especially if you are going to be doing some running is just as critical as when you were at home. This will probably be the heaviest item you will have in this kit.

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.

A tent or tarp can be your temporary home away from home as long as it keeps the rain and other harsh weather conditions out. The sleeping bag or a set of blankets for each person is also critical. You need sleep after a day of battling the environment or other dangerous conditions. Keeping everything dry and damage free will help you accomplish a level of comfort you need.

One of the most important elements of this bag will be a first aid kit. This exercise is all about survival, so you need things that will help keep you healthy and, as necessary, germ free. A good disinfectant, a lot of bandages and sanitary wipes will go a long way. Consult with a medical professional for additional items and be sure to pack all regular medication any member of your party normally takes.

When you have to leave your home, in an emergency, having all of the basics will help you survive. Having all of this in position to grab as you head out the door will give you some peace of mind. Remember you are preparing for that day because you have no idea, right now, when that day will occur.
