What Goes Into Vital Family Survival Kits

By Tammie Caldwell


The best way to show love to your household is to protect them when the need arises. With disasters changing the lives of people and communities in a flash, vital family survival kits become valuable cushions. Having the foresight to prepare will save your loved ones the agony of hunger and thirst in the wilderness.

Experts have gathered information to develop an ideal kit that will provide comfort and a bit of relief to your entire family. Regardless of the severity of the condition, it gives you peace of mind in the knowledge that your loved ones are better protected from the extremes of hunger or thirst. The few days, weeks or months you depend on the kit are enough to adjust and find long term alternatives.

The notice given to leave the office, school, house or neighborhood during a disaster is minimal. Beyond having a survival pack, it is important to know where to meet or assemble as a family. In some cases, communication networks collapses cutting you off from the other members of your household. Beyond meeting, it is valuable to think of the long hours, days, weeks and months you are likely to stay before resuming normal life. The ultimate solution is to prepare.

The nature of each kit depends on the size of household you have in mind when preparing and how long you want to cover them. A standard pack is designed to cover the needs of an individual for a year. Where children are involved, different components will be required. Elderly people will also require a different set of items. This calls for awareness of the needs of individual members of your household.

A situation where there are four adults in the household means that they will spend in three months what a single adult would have spent in a year. Each is entitled to two servings a day for this duration. The use of Mylar pouches ensures that the food is totally protected from damage. Each pouch has four servings which helps to prevent wastage.

Some of the foods included in the bucket are multi-grain cereals, noodle soup, baked potato casserole and a mixture of beans and rice. There also are vegetables, macaroni and tortilla soup. Apple cinnamon cereals are also include, among other food varieties. These foods are approved by non profit preparedness organizations as well as government agencies. They meet the highest standards and will guarantee the energy and good health you require over the emergency period.

Other items that are added to the box include an emergency candle, waterproof matches, rechargeable battery touch and water. There are tube tents with ropes, blankets and a whistle. Other items include function knife and palm work gloves. The inclusion of hygiene equipment like pocket tissue pack, toilet bars and fresheners enhances your comfort and health in difficult circumstances. You will enjoy a game of cards to relieve stress as you take cover.

The kits are easy to stack and go to ensure secure storage without the need to shelve. The handle is designed for easy grab and go which fits an emergency situation. The weight is manageable with the content of the kit lasting up to 25 years.
