What should you pack in a survival kit?

Answer 1

A proper Bug-Out-Bag (Survival Kit) should include the following:

-Flashlight

-Hands Free Light

-Illuminating Glow Sticks

-AA Batteries

-AAA Batteries

-Small Portable Lantern

-Pocket Knife

-Multi Tool (go with a Leatherman)

-Binoculars

-Waterproof Poncho

-Water (1 gallon per person, per day)

-Ready-To-Eat Food

-Respiratory Masks or something similar

-Toothpaste

-Toothbrush

-Toilet Paper

-Paper Towels

-Radio

-Waterproof Matches

-Duct Tape

-Solar Blanket

-Sleeping Bag

-Local Maps

-Snare Wire

-Compass

-Water Purification Tablets

-Slingshot

-Tarp

-Tube Tent

-Cotton Balls

-Whistle

-Surveyors Tape

-Tissues

-Vaseline (put this on cotton balls and light it and you'll have a fire)

-Pens/Pencils

-Moleskin or any other Journal/Notebook

-Utility Rope

This may seem like a lot but all this gear can fit in one normal hiking pack. Always find the smaller amount of these items and you can fit it all.

In addition many people will say bring Firearms but a true Survivalist should be able to evade and leave so when the time comes to pull the trigger they'll already be long gone.

And last but not least, always use your instincts and logic, don't rely on tools, rely on yourself. I hope this helped you

Packing proper medications for people with special needs and the elderly should never be neglected.
