Get Your Prepper Survival Pack Ready For That Day

By Edna Booker


There are many things that can happen out there. Many people think that those things will involve a foreign invasion, an overbearing government or a large flood. It could also be massive power outages or other weather related issues. When things like this happens, you will have to leave your home, possibly for quite a while. That is when you will need what experts call a Prepper Survival Pack.

This kit is often called a bug out bag. That means that anything you have in this pack is all you are leaving your home with. It also means that carefully planned bag or pack must have essentials and nothing that can not be used. Each person must carry their own bag.

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 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 for three days can get heavy if you are packing cans. There are foods that are light weight, such as dehydrated meals called MRE or Meals Ready to Eat. These are used by our military personnel. Larger quantities of these can be purchased, often at a discount, in many survival or regular grocery stores. They simply need water and some heat and they are good to go.

Just because you are not at home does not mean you do not need a roof. This can be provided with a tent. Ensure everyone knows how to set this protective device up. A tarp to throw or drape over a fence post will suffice as long as it keeps rain out. A sleeping bag or roll of blankets for each person is necessary. You will need sleep if you are constantly on the move. Ensure these stay dry and they will keep you warm.

First aid is something most people do not think about when at home. Medical care may be few and far between, so you will need bandages, disinfectant and sanitary wipes as a bare minimum. Regular medications your party takes will need to be included as well as pain relievers and anti inflammatory drugs. Water purification pills will also help in a last resort sort of attempt at sanitary drinking water.

This kit, bag or pack must contain all of the things that are going to keep you alive for a few days. Everything in it is crucial and valuable. The life you save, if only for a few days, is your own and, indirectly, your family, friends or others you cared enough about to take along. Think carefully about everything and throw in a paperback or two, just in case.
