Everyone should have an emergency preparedness kit(s). We as Americans have become dependent on things like electricity and clean running water. When something goes wrong we go into panic mode. Some of us know what to do in an emergency situation. But a lot don't. Regardless we all need to be prepared for the worst situation(s). Growing up I was a girl scout for over ten years. I learned a lot about being prepared for anything. I also did JROTC which also prepared me for emergency situations.
You always need to have some kind of supplies just in case. This kit is a great start. It does lack a bit. Like you would still need a first aid kit to go with it. But overall it is a good lil kit to start off with.
This kit is small and compact. Could easily fit in your glove box, backpack, emergency preparedness kits, or a small space. I see this one being used mainly by hikers or ppl using boats. This is just my view. I think its great to have at home in your emergency preparedness kit. But it might come in handy in the car.
In the kit you get the following:
A tight sealed case:
this case is sealed tight. It would keep bugs and water out.
Six water purification tablets:
This is important. As you need a drinking supply. And you never know how clean the fresh water you find is.
Two condoms:
They can be used to keep things safe from water. And to carry some things
A candle:
Can be used many ways. The wax makes a great seal. A light source you dont have to hold until you can get your fire started. Just to name a few.
An emergency whistle:
To signal for help when you can see or hear someone close by.
A led light keychain:
When you need light and have hands free.
Flint starter and a saw blade:
These are chained together. Basically this is what you will strike together to get a spark to start your fire.
A five pack of cotton balls:
Also used to start your fires. Use the spark to catch these on fire then add them to the kindling.
Two packs of salt:
One of mine was busted. Boo. But these are for you to ingest. Without sodium in your body so much can go wrong. Without you eating food your body will start to shut down. You won't take a whole pack at a time. Just a pinch here and there. This is a main component to your electrolyte drinks.
A multi purpose tool:
It has pliers, a knife blade,a Philips screw driver, a flat head screw driver,and a file. There are a lot of uses for these. I don't think they need to be explained.
A small compass:
You need to know direction. Most ppl don't know about the moss. And the north star doesn't shine during the day.
Wire:
Can be used in many ways. Fishing, set up a way to filter fresh wayer. Just to name a few.
Paracord:
There is a reason why paracord bracelets are used by outdoor enthusiast. You can tie things together to make a shelter, you can repel down a moutain if needed. There are to many uses to explain them all.
Six safety pins:
Can be used to hold a lot of things together.
A small sewing kit:
Can be used for immediate repairs. But in my preparedness mind. I'm seeing them as emergency stitches. This is worst case scenario mindset.
Razor blades:
Can be used to cut meat or fish. Also can use to cut whatever you need.
Fishing line and four anchors:
You need to eat. Its easier to catch a fish rather than trying to hunt and kill with your bare hands.
A string pull saw:
You might need to saw some branches or a small tree in order to have firewood or to make a shelter.
A mirror:
Can be used to signal ppl far away for help. Also if planes are flying over you could use this to signal for help. Remember 3 short, 3 long and 3 short again. This is morose code for sos.
A quart size plastic bag:
Remember those water purification tablets. Well you fill this bag up with the water and put a tablet in with the water. Let it sit till the tablet is completely dissolved.
A pencil:
You can use it to mark where to cut on things. And on the papers.
A plain sheet of papaer:
You may need to take notes. Maybe of where the water is from the campsite. Or any other notes you can come up with.
A very basic guide:
It tells you come basic ideas to help you. Also has an emergency checklist. This is so if you are found unresponsive after a few days they can see what injuries you have wrote to keep you from getting further injured.
Overall it is a great basic kit to have. You will still have other needs but this is covering the most basic of them all.
