Build an Emergency (Bug-Out) Kit:

Call it what you want, this is an essential tool in any emergency plan whether staying where you are or bugging out. Everything is together in one container to grab-n-go and easy to transport or store. Each person (and pet) should have their own as well as each vehicle. Each bag should have a minimum of the "Eleven Cs (11-Cs)" supplies inside. In the event of an Emergency, this bag should be one of the first things to grab and stay with you through the entire emergency event. Contents: The contents of your Bug-Out Bag will be as individual as you are. Item categories are, basically, universal. Think small/compact and light weight. Expand on the Eleven Cs (11-Cs)

Air-filtering masks

Eye protection

Shelter - tent, space blankets

Water container and methods to filter/purify

Food - emergency bars, basic fishing/snare gear, utensils

Multi-tool, saw, shovel

Fire-making skills/supplies for heat, light and cooking

Cordage - rope, paracord, duct tape

Compass and map

First Aid kit

Whistle

Mini sewing kit

Flashlight - hand crank, solar or xtra batteries

AM/FM/NOAA radio - hand crank, solar or xtra batteries

Emergency cash and/or credit/debit card

Clothing - gloves, hat, coat, extra, raingear

Self-Defense tools

Important documents and contacts on flash drive

Entertainment - playing cards Other items to consider but K.I.S.S. (Keep It Simple Survivor).

Learn How to Properly Use Your Gear and Supplies and When: If I have all the stuff in the world to go camping or use in an emergency, but don't know how to use my stuff, all I have is STUFF. And, if I don't have a plan for my camping trip or what I will do in an emergency, now I have a pile of stuff with no map to follow for their effective use. Face-to-face with an emergency, or at the campsite, is not the time to learn how to use the gear and supplies that has been accumulated for this very purpose. What was thought to be the right tool when purchased, may now prove to be no help at all "in the moment". Don't go unprepared with not having the correct supplies in the correct quantities and not knowing how to use those supplies. Make the time to learn how to properly use all of the gear when it's first acquired and to discover if it should stay or be traded for something better. Use supplies and gear, periodically, as a refresher course. Initial testing and periodic refreshers will help take some of the stress out of the actual camping or emergency event.

• Look at, and slowly handle, each item to learn how it works. • Rehearse, in your mind, why each item is significant, and what role it will fill in any scenario. • Recall any past experience, information, and training that each item has been used. • Secure Gear. Place each item securely in your pack, in proper order for use. Keep everything tied down or zipped closed. • Exercise and drill with "full gear" to understand personal limits and adjust if needed. • ALWAYS keep your pack on your person or within direct arm's reach. • Never wander away from your pack to, possibly, forget where you left it. • Never place your pack on a slope, hill, or ledge to, possibly, fall or roll away. • Never leave items laying randomly on the ground, making them hard to find.

Prioritizing Use of Gear and Supplies: Part of knowing your gear is knowing their limitations, quantity available and alternatives that can be used in their place. Your gear and supplies are not inexhaustible. Before using your supplies, think of other renewable resources that might be used instead so that your exhaustible supplies can be used as a last resort another time. Save the most precious resources as a last-ditch option; the "most precious use last". For example; never start a fire with a lighter if a magnesium fire-starter (ferro rod) is available and don't use the ferro rod if the sun (renewable resource) is available (using a magnifying glass). Hunt or gather off the land for food before eating your packaged, long-term food supply. Filter a natural water supply before drinking stored/bottled water. Test with Your Bug-Out Bag (BOB): Create a list of exercises, drills, and tactics (sample below) that will test the gear, no matter what it is.

Small hikes building up to multiple miles

Urban and outdoor tactical drills

Crawling, running, swimming, lying prone for extended periods of time

Running and jogging with fully loaded BOB

Pushups and pull-ups

Climbing steep hills with all weaponry

Climbing urban environments such as stairs, walls and fences

Long hikes with sprints and running

Perfecting your stances for long periods of time while crouched

Compact and Lightweight: Innovations and technology have made bug-out supplies more compact and lightweight. When putting a bug-out bag (BOB) together, research the many options that are available, keeping these two factors in mind as well as quality. Here is a suggestion: Compressed Towel "Tablets" come in a variety of sizes and can be used for cleaning and bandages. Just add water to expand. Dollar Store Checklist NOTE: While water is essential to life, it is heavy (8 pounds per gallon) so carrying large quantities is not practical. That's why a reuseable container (suitable for carrying and boiling water) and water purification method(s) should be included in the kit if you'll be on the move. Proper Packing: There is a correct way to load a backpack; something most hikers find out the hard way while suffering from all sorts of uncomfortable backpack related pains out on the trail. Everyone wants to cram as much stuff as they can in their pack but, realistically, determine how much YOU can carry and for how long and how far. The only sure way to find out is to Test Your BOB.

Determine how much you can, realistically, carry and don't exceed that weight limit

Pack only gear that is "essential" to your ultimate survival (11 Cs)

Choose lighter-weight alternatives to heavier and bulky

Choose items that serve more than one purpose to help lighten your load

While some packing rules are flexible and will depend on your unique needs, there are a few rules of thumb you should keep in mind.

Bottom of the Bag - items you don't need quickly (tent, sleeping bag)

Middle of the Bag - heaviest gear packed somewhere near the middle of the backpack (near your belt line).

Top of the Bag - filled with light items and the gear that you will need the most.

DIY Primitive Bushcraft Backpack: Regardless of what you have to carry, most times, strapping it to your back, or over the shoulder or around your waist will be easier than holding it in your hands. In a survival situation, your hands should be free to hack through brush, move branches, hold a compass or carry a walking stick, to name just a few. If, for whatever reason, you find yourself without a useful pack, learn how to make your own. You can lash a frame together with rope and fill the frame with some kind of bag or tarp, or just tie a bag shut and sling it over your shoulder or tie it around your waist or make a pack or pouch from scratch with the materials on hand, like tree bark, animal skin, vines, clothing, whatever. Here are some ideas for your brain to ponder: [Bushcraft BackPack Video 1] [Bushcraft Packing Video] [Bucket BackPack] [Pants BackPack] [Tree Bark Pack] [Grapevine Basket] [Making Your Dispatched Deer into a Backpack] FEMA Restrictions: If The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) wakes you up in the middle of the night with an alleged community emergency, understand that they prohibit "hazardous" items (guns, knives, lighters, etc.) and limits the amount of items a "victim" can bring with them to a FEMA Emergency Facility (field camp). If you become a "guest" of a FEMA Field Camp, you cannot bring any pets and what you bring must fit on your lap. If a sudden event causes you to become a FEMA Guest, it's best to prepare for such an encounter by building a FEMA-friendly kit within your Bug-Out Bag as the Bug-Out Bag may not comply with their guidelines. You may only have minutes to evacuate, with FEMA assistance, so having this kit at the ready is a good preparedness step. It is recommended to bring your wallet with legal, government-issued, identification and cash:

Your Emergency Bag may be OK as long as its contents comply with FEMA guidelines (above)

Ear plugs to help sleep in a room full of noisy people

USB drive containing electronic copies of important documents

Exploring The Real Ways To Find The Best Emergency Survival Kit

In a world filled with uncertainties, being prepared for emergencies is crucial. Whether it's a natural disaster, power outage, or unexpected situation, having the right tools and supplies can make all the difference in ensuring your safety and well-being. An emergency survival kit is an essential component of preparedness, providing you with the resources you need during times of crisis. This article will guide you through finding the best emergency survival kit to suit your needs.

Assessing Your Needs

The first step in finding the best emergency survival kit is to assess your individual and family needs. Consider factors such as the size of your household, specific medical requirements, and the types of disasters common in your area. Your survival kit should be tailored to address these specific needs, ensuring you have the necessary resources to stay safe and comfortable.

Key Components

A well-rounded emergency survival kit should include various key components that cater to different survival aspects. Here are some essential items to look for:

Water and Food: Adequate water and non-perishable food items should be a top priority. Look for kits that provide enough water and energy-rich foods to sustain you for at least 72 hours.

Shelter and Warmth: If you need to evacuate or find yourself without shelter, a kit should include items like emergency blankets, ponchos, and hand warmers to protect against harsh weather conditions.

First Aid Supplies: A comprehensive kit is essential for addressing injuries and medical needs. Ensure the kit includes bandages, antiseptics, gloves, pain relievers, and prescription medications.

Communication and Lighting: Access to information and communication is crucial during emergencies. Look for kits with a battery-powered or hand-crank emergency radio, flashlights, and extra batteries.

Tools and Multifunctional Items: A multi-tool, duct tape, rope, and other versatile items can be incredibly useful for improvising solutions during unexpected situations.

Personal Hygiene and Sanitation: Proper sanitation is vital for preventing illness. Sanitary supplies, toiletries, and hand sanitizers should be included.

Documents: Important documents like identification, insurance papers, and contact information should be stored in a waterproof container within the kit.

Quality and Durability

When evaluating emergency survival kits, prioritize quality and durability. It's advisable to invest in kits that are made from sturdy materials and come from reputable manufacturers. Research customer reviews and ratings to gauge the overall satisfaction of previous buyers.

Portability and Storage

Consider the portability and storage options of the survival kit. It should be compact and lightweight, making it easy to carry if you need to evacuate. Some kits come in backpacks or containers with comfortable straps, which can be beneficial when you're on the move.

Training and Familiarity

Having the best emergency survival kit is only half the battle; knowing how to use its contents is equally important. Take the time to familiarize yourself with the items in the kit and how to use them. Consider taking first aid and emergency preparedness courses to enhance your skills and confidence.

Regular Maintenance and Upkeep

Emergency survival kits are not "one and done" purchases. Regularly check the expiration dates of perishable items like food, water, and medications, and replace them as needed. Also, update the kit based on changes in your family's needs and the latest recommendations for emergency preparedness.

Conclusion

In a world where emergencies can strike unexpectedly, having a well-prepared emergency survival kit is a crucial step in safeguarding yourself and your loved ones. By assessing your needs, prioritizing key components, ensuring quality and durability, and staying informed about its contents, you can find the best emergency survival kit that suits your specific requirements. Remember, being prepared today can make all the difference when the unexpected happens tomorrow.

A Guide to Traveling in Icy Destinations: Tips for Staying Safe and Warm

Traveling in icy destinations can be a thrilling and unforgettable experience, but it also comes with its own set of challenges. Whether you're planning a trip to an icy wonderland or simply want to be prepared for winter weather, it's important to know how to stay safe and warm in freezing temperatures. In this post, we'll provide tips for traveling in icy destinations.

Dress in layers: Dressing in layers is the key to staying warm in icy destinations. Wear a base layer that wicks away moisture, a middle layer for insulation, and an outer layer that protects against wind and water. Avoid cotton as it retains moisture and can make you feel colder.

Wear appropriate footwear: Wear waterproof boots with good traction to prevent slips and falls. Add traction cleats or spikes to your boots for extra grip on icy surfaces.

Protect your extremities: Wear a hat, gloves, and scarf to protect your ears, hands, and face from frostbite. Consider investing in heated gloves or hand warmers to keep your hands warm in extremely cold temperatures.

Stay hydrated: It's important to stay hydrated even in freezing temperatures. Drink plenty of water and avoid caffeine and alcohol which can dehydrate you.

Be prepared for emergencies: Carry a first aid kit, extra clothing, and blankets in case of an emergency. Keep your phone charged and bring a backup battery or portable charger.

Respect the environment: Remember to respect the environment and local wildlife. Follow designated trails and avoid disturbing wildlife or damaging fragile ecosystems.

By following these tips for traveling in icy destinations, you can have a safe and enjoyable winter adventure.

I don't usually post my own content, but it's really important to me that I share this awesome resource ya'll. I know we don't like thinking about disasters and the end-of-the-world but STICK WITH ME here.

It's an app called HazAdapt and it's seriously the ultimate tool for staying safe during natural disasters like earthquakes, hurricanes, and wildfires, and for manmade disasters like assaults, hate crimes, and car accidents.

This app was honestly so helpful during the ice storm we had last week. We lost power and heat for 17 hours, but HazAdapt has offline capabilities so I still had access to all the info I needed to keep my family safe. (ok also I know 17 hours isn't that long but it is in the middle of the suburbs!)

PLUS it's intentionally designed as the first humanity-friendly technology, meaning it's created with equity, justice, and sustainability at the forefront. This is ethical tech y'all!

It's totally free, and you can customize it to include info on kids, disabilities, pets, farm animals, and more. AND it's translated into 7 language, literally so accessible.

Bottom line: HazAdapt is a total game changer when it comes to being prepared and responding to emergencies. And did I mention it's totally free to use? So you should definitely download it and share it with your fam and friends.

Stay safe out there!
