This doesn’t have to be complicated. We’re not prepping a bug-out bag during a zombie invasion… yet.
But this kit is fairly straight forward.
72-hours of Food
For an emergency food supply. We want three days worth of food per person. Canned goods work well.
72-hours of Water
Three liters per day, per person, is the recommended amount of water to have.
Note: There is no official and exact measurement for the amount of water you have to have per person per day to survive. The three liters is simply the recommended amount.
Small Stove
A small camping stove is ideal for having a portable stove.
Can Opener
For opening your canned foods supply of food. A can opener is a must. Unless you have a burly rugged tool like a survival knife and can open them with that.
Cell Phone Charger
Be sure to get a cell phone charger that is battery powered. Or you could get one that is solar-powered
Radio
Similar to the cell phone charger. Get a portable radio that is battery-operated or solar-powered.
Flashlight
Same with the above items. Battery-powered is the preference for flashlights.
Bleach
Bleach can be used for cleaning and purifying water if you have to. Bleach works well because you don’t need very much to do what you need to do with it. So you don’t have to stock much at all.
Extras
Remember to pack some extras of these materials. Like batteries. Stocking your kit with a few is good. Just don’t forget to have extras around for when you use them.
- Batteries
- Water
- Flashlights
- An extra radio is helpful as well
