Survival is the natural goal of every living creature. In many cases, survival is not simply a case of self preservation, but an effort to protect offspring and loved ones. Though it is hoped that it will never be needed understanding the purpose for and the necessary contents of a survival kit can literally mean the difference between life and death.
A survival kit should be customized and made to suit particular needs. Selecting or buying an assembled survival kit may not be the ideal method for obtaining one. Instead, survivalist should design their own kits with their specific needs in mind. The first step to making a survival kit is to find a waterproof, fireproof, floatable container to store necessities in. Be sure that the container cannot easily be crushed or broken and that it does not require a key. If the container requires a key and that key is misplaced, the kit becomes useless. Also, be sure that the entire kit can fit easily in vehicles and tight, obscure places to ensure easy transportation.
Next, make sure that the survival kit is packed with the most important essentials first. In case of a disaster, one of the most important necessities will be the ability to build a fire. It is a good idea for survivalist to pack waterproof matches in the kit. A magnesium fire starter may also be included.
Third, every survival kit needs some sort of light. A flashlight that does not run on batter power is ideal. Packing a head lamp is also a wise idea. Also, survivalist should consider packing a long use survival candle for warmth and light in case a fire is out of the question.
Fourth, survival kits should contain materials like space blankets that can be used as shelter and for warmth. Also, they should contain a first aid kit of sorts. The first aid kits should be tailored to fit any specific illnesses or conditions that any survivalist may have.
Finally, kits should contain cords, ropes, or wires. These are necessities that can elongate life and improve the ease of surviving until help arrives. It is also vitally important that kits contain a mechanism or method for making water drinkable and safe.
