The Essence Of Emergency Survival Gears

By Lelia Hall


In the current world we live in life is very dynamic, people and situations change so instantly that we cannot just determine how anything is going to happen. This calls for one to be always ready for disaster since preparation is vital in anything and the preparation enables one to increase their chances of surviving in case a disaster strikes thus the need for emergency survival gears.

One of the general characteristics of a survival gear is that it must be easy to carry and very easy to use, this is because an emergency occurs and at times its only a matter of minutes before the situation is out of control thus the gears must be easily accessible in times of emergency and must also be easy to carry because the situation might require one to run with the gear at hand.

As part of the survival gear a knife is considered to be a very crucial tool in the trade this is because a knife serves as a multipurpose tool in these gears. The knife is considered to have several uses such as in cutting the fruits and meat hunted it can be used as a weapon too while it can also be used as a digging tool in case some digging is required too.

Heat is one of the most important elements in a human life but in the case of a crisis finding a source of heat can prove to be a challenge due to the situation; this makes the matchbox or a lighter a very essential gear in the survival kit. The reason being the matches will be used to light the fire that will provide the heat and fire that is used to both lights up the place at night, to cook the raw foods to scare off animals.

In many cases when a crisis occurs foods tend to be scarce and very rare to come by. This makes the inclusion of the foods to be something that cannot be overlooked in the emergency gears. In most cases dried foods like the nuts and cereals are parts of the foods that are considered in this cargo this is because the dried foods will tend to last for longer and are light as compared to other foods.

It has been proven scientifically that man cannot live without water but can go days on end without food this makes the water to be a very necessary tool in the emergency gear. This is because it is very vital for its intake so that man can survive.

In such critical situations the only shelter man has are his or her body and maybe the clothes and his or her personal belongings. And in case they need to rest their houses will not be the safest place to go. With this in mind among the most essential kits when in a crisis is either a sleeping bag or a tent this to shelter them and sustain them during the night.

In the survival gears one requires some form of antibiotic, a pain killer and a disinfectant. This are used to try and control a disease in case it arises or an injury in case it occurs.
