The Essence Of Emergency Survival Gears

By Lelia Hall


Life changes in the twinkle of an eye; it only takes an earth tremor to remind humanity how fragile life is and how unforgiving nature can be. With these factors in mind, humanity should always have a backup plan on and an emergency kit whereby a survival kit is a package of basic tools and supplies prepared in advance as an aid to survive in an emergency. Depending on the situation and the nature of the environment the emergency survival gears differ in both quantity and quality.

To begin with, one must find a kit that can accommodate the things they need most but is weighty enough to carry around and even run away with. Some of these situations can be so intense that one may not find the energy to carry around everything they need but only the necessities.

As part of the survival gear a knife is considered to be a very crucial tool in the trade this is because a knife serves as a multipurpose tool in these gears. The knife is considered to have several uses such as in cutting the fruits and meat hunted it can be used as a weapon too while it can also be used as a digging tool in case some digging is required too.

Heat is one of the most important elements in a human life but in the case of a crisis finding a source of heat can prove to be a challenge due to the situation; this makes the matchbox or a lighter a very essential gear in the survival kit. The reason being the matches will be used to light the fire that will provide the heat and fire that is used to both lights up the place at night, to cook the raw foods to scare off animals.

During crisis normal food sources tend to be so scarce to an extent of starvation. With this in mind, part of the gears that is very vital in an emergency kit is the dried food like nuts and dried cereals, the dried substances are the best candidates in the gear because they are light and have a high nutrient value as compared to other wholesome foods.

Man cannot live on food alone. Part of his necessary diet should include water which is paramount for their existence. Since its a proven fact that man can live for longer periods of time without food but when he or she is starved of water they die faster.

In such critical situations the only shelter man has are his or her body and maybe the clothes and his or her personal belongings. And in case they need to rest their houses will not be the safest place to go. With this in mind among the most essential kits when in a crisis is either a sleeping bag or a tent this to shelter them and sustain them during the night.

In the survival gears one requires some form of antibiotic, a pain killer and a disinfectant. This are used to try and control a disease in case it arises or an injury in case it occurs.
