<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\nThese are things Preppers usually forget, they’re not as exciting as packing a SHTF gun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Most survival kit recommendations are all very similar. We’ve all seen them. We even have them here at Prepper Pride. They are all about the same in terms of the essentials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are usually about 10 items that every kit needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- Trash bags<\/li>
- Binder clips<\/li>
- Sewing kit<\/li>
- Zip Ties<\/li>
- Glow Sticks<\/li>
- Insect Repellent<\/li>
- Sunscreen<\/li>
- Hat, Shades, And Gloves<\/li>
- Shemagh Scarf<\/li>
- Spices<\/li>
- Phone Charger<\/li>
- Cash<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
I want to talk about the items that are not so common in ever “essential survival kit items” lists we see over and over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- Tactical knife<\/li>
- Food<\/li>
- Water<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
…but this list is different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yes, we have read it hundreds of times. Yes, those are essential items for every prepper. But this is a list of the not so common items that you don\u2019t normally see in kit lists. And they are still essentials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
All of the items are also small and lightweight so they\u2019re easy to pack and carry in your kit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/span>Trash and Plastic Bags<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nTrash bags have dozens of uses for survival. Insulation and shelter are two big reasons to carry them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/span>Binder Clips<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nThese clips are versatile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/span>Sewing Kit<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nBe able to patch up your gear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/span>Zip Ties<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nZip ties can be used to tie basically anything you need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/span>Glow Sticks<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nUse these quickly and easily to send a survival signal, mark your path, or just to shine a little glow in front of you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/span>Insect Repellent<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nEssential if you’re going camping or fishing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/span>Sunscreen<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nYour skin is your largest organ. Take care of it and it will take care of your long-term survival plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/span>Hat, Shades, Gloves<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nEspecially in the winter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/span>Shemagh Scarf<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nPerhaps the ultimate tactical item to have in your kit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
See our post with the dozens of different Shemagh survival uses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/span>Spices<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nCarrying a little spice is very nice, even in the wild.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/span>Phone Charger<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
