Emergency Preparedness & Survival Guides

Preparation Items Often Overlooked...

So you know how important it is to be prepared with food, water, warmth & shelter. But what about items that we take for granted everyday? While the basics are very important, you may learn fast that there are other items that can be of great use during a time of emergency or disaster.

Our purpose in preparation, is not just to help you stay alive during a difficult situation, but also to be able to live comfortably.  There are a few items you might be overlooking in your effort to become prepared.

Here are a few items I thought you might want to consider in your plan to be ready:

Medications
If you are a person who is in need of medication, you know how important it is to your overall health. It is wise to talk to your doctor and ask them if there is a way for you to stock up on your medications over time. If you have a relationship of trust with your doctor, and no history of prescription drug abuse, you may be able to work out a plan to help you prepare for emergencies.

Entertainment
Just living off of food and water could get dull after a while. Why not think about setting aside a way for you to gain some entertainment as well? You could store an ipod that has your favorite music and that can be powered with one of our dynamo chargers. Pack your 72 hour kits with books and board games to help pass the time in a physiologically healthy way. If you play an instrument, consider packing some sheet music or the instrument itself if it’s portable.
