Assembling Or Purchasing A 3 Day Survival Kit

By Stacey Burt


No one knows what the future may bring and it is always best to be well-prepared. That is why assembling or purchasing a 3 day survival kit is so important. In an emergency, it is the first three twenty-four hour periods that are the most critical so it is best to be ready for whatever life aims your way.

An emergency could consist of an enemy attack, a nuclear or other bomb, or severe weather fluctuations such as a tornado, hurricane or tsunami. Whatever the case, the essential supplies and all of your necessary equipment on hand when these life-threatening event occur can be what saves the lives of yourself and your family.

You are going to need a variety of items to ensure your safety and sustainability. By having these at your disposal for even this short period will give you time to re-group and re-think your position and then react. You will be ready to take on so much more than other individuals who did not have the foresight to prepare for such occurrences. Necessary items will include food, first aid items, shelter and blankets, communication devices, food and food preparation equipment.

Foods can be those prepared by reputable companies who may specific bundles of essentials for these types of events. For this short time period, regular canned and dry goods will also suffice. Items such as canned and dried meats, energy and power bars, powdered drinks and milk, and canned and dried fruits and vegetables can be included as part of your store. Prep your water supplies by keeping filled plastic containers in your freezer or a storage area at all times. Prepper companies will have plastic bags filled with this life-saving liquid that are easy to access and consume when needed.

A quality first-aid kit is essential. It should include band aids, aspirin and other pain relievers, antacids, antibiotics, scissors, tape, gauze, a thermometer and a cold pack. A good first aid guide and any medications taken by your family members should also be included. Communication devices are also necessary. Consider a two-way radio, a regular battery or solar radio, and cell phones with battery chargers. Extra batteries will also be needed.

There are many other essentials that will be required and some will depend on your family makeup. Infants will need formula and diapers. Pets will require their own special meals. Important documents should also be ready to pick up and take along. These would include birth certificates and social security cards. A stash of cash should also be ready to go.

Shelter will depend on the type of emergency. If you are able to stay in your own home, this may not be a priority but if your home is destroyed, it will be much more of an issue. You may need to have a tent on hand that will house your entire family. If this is not feasible, stock up on several large tarps, stakes and rope. Sleeping bags are the best choice but a variety of large, warm blankets will also do. Prepper companies also offer blankets made of Mylar which will assist in keeping the heat in.

Being proactive when it comes to natural or man-made emergencies is what will make a difference in your survival. Begin your preparations by assembling these items and others that are pertinent to your family's sustainability.
