How To Prepare A 72 Hour Survival Kit
It is an unfortunate fact of life that most people are reactive instead of proactive. A case in point happened during Hurricane Katrina in which people were ill prepared of what to do during an emergency. The important thing is how we bounce back from this lesson. Are you prepared for the next emergency disaster?
There is no mistaking that the disasters that do the most harm often come completely out of the blue. You might not live in a so called “danger zone” but who knows. Perhaps Mother Nature one day might strike. When that happens, you need to make sure you have done the preparation necessary to keep you and your family safe.
Survival experts say that you need to have a three day supply of food and water for you and your family in order to be safe. This is in case the government can’t reach your area in time. You’re expected to fend for yourself in the meantime.
There are lots of types of food you can consider for emergency storage. The choices include canned, freeze dried or dehydrated food. However, all these types of food require some form of preparation and a heating source which you might not have available. There is another choice that is really easy to prepare and that is the Meal Ready To Eat package.
With MREs, it’s all laid out for you. You get the main meal, a side dish, bread or crackers, spread, dessert, drink mix, utensils, accessory pack which includes wetnap, gum, etc. You can even have a hot meal as well since the package comes with a flameless heater that is based on water and chemical reaction.
Obviously, there’s a lot of thought that came with this package and that is to be expected since MREs were first developed to be consumed by the military. However, you can get MREs for civilian use as well or just find military MREs in army surplus stores or on Ebay.
Needless to say, the MREs is the complete package of what you need in terms of food. All that’s left to get is emergency water, a first aid kit, radio, flashlight, batteries and you’re well stocked for an emergency.
It is important for everyone to prepare for an emergency. It is your job to ensure that your family is safe and cared for, no mater the situation.
