Purchasing Or Assembling A 3 Day Survival Kit

By Stacey Burt


The future may bring any number of emergencies into your life and it is always best to be highly proactive and very prepared to face whatever comes your way. During an emergency, a 3 day survival kit will get you off on the right foot to maintain your entire family. It is this time period that is the most important and critical as help may take that long or longer to arrive.

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.

This supply must include several critical items to get you through this first time period. It sometimes takes days for emergency resources to converge and get critical supplies to the areas affected. By having your own store of items, you will be well-prepared to take on much more than others.The basic items one needs include food, water, first-aid supplies, communication devices, shelter, warmth and food prep 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.

The type of shelter you require will depend on where you live and the type of emergency you are facing. You may or may not be able to stay in your home. If you are forced to leave, a tent is critical. Blankets or sleeping bags are also needed. Some emergency kits come with Mylar blankets for optimal heat.

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.
