Composition Of Vital Family Survival Kits

By Tammie Caldwell


The best way to show love to your household is to protect them when the need arises. With disasters changing the lives of people and communities in a flash, vital family survival kits become valuable cushions. Having the foresight to prepare will save your loved ones the agony of hunger and thirst in the wilderness.

It has taken years of research in survival to develop the ideal kit in terms of content and shape. The aim is to provide cushion to households and peace of mind whenever disaster displaces families and communities. With adequate basic needs for the entire family for days, weeks months or the entire year, you can plan your next action with peace of mind. This cushion provides enough time to explore alternatives as you adjust to your new situation.

Disasters require you to leave your house, office and even neighborhood within minutes. In most cases, you have no idea where to meet. During disasters, communication networks are also likely to collapse. As a household, it is important to have a meet-up or assembly point in case of a disaster. However, once you have met, there are long hours, days, weeks and months ahead before you resume normal life. This calls for preparedness.

The nature of each kit depends on the size of household you have in mind when preparing and how long you want to cover them. A standard pack is designed to cover the needs of an individual for a year. Where children are involved, different components will be required. Elderly people will also require a different set of items. This calls for awareness of the needs of individual members of your household.

A pack for one person to last a year can be used by a household of four adults for three months. The same pack is enough if the household has two adults and four children having two servings every day. The food is safely sealed in Mylar pouches to protect it from going bad. With four servings per pouch, you will not be exposed to excessive waste.

The bucket contains such foods as noodle soup, multi-grain cereals, a mixture of rice and beans as well as baked potato casserole. The nutritional value of the pack is enhanced with the inclusion of tortilla soup, macaroni and vegetables. There are other food varieties including apple cinnamon, among others. All these foods and their packaging are approved by government agencies as well as non profit preparedness agencies. They will guarantee energy and dietary needs under the harshest conditions.

The addition of waterproof matches, emergency candles, water and rechargeable battery touch is aimed at making your survival easier. There is a whistle, blankets and a tube tent that can comfortably house two adults. Palm work gloves and function knife are also included. Other items are pocket tissue pack, fresheners and toilet bars. Beyond health and nutrition, the items ensure that your stay is as hygienic as possible. A pack of cards is included to occupy your time while displaced.

The design of the bucket makes it easy to store in stacks without the need for shelves. The handle is easy to grab and ideal for an emergency situation. The food can last 25 years without going bad even in the absence of refrigeration. Its weight is manageable.
