BARTERING ~ 100 Items to Disappear First in A Panic. Stock up on these items and you will be very popular after a crash or catastrophe.

A Buckskin Man's Pocket: Fly Dope. Protection Against Black Flies, Mosquitoes, Midgets And No-See-Ums. The Call Of The Wild.

Bed Bugs & Bug-Out Bags (for earthquakes, fires...) We recommend that you have a few emergency survival items stored in a bag* inside a hard hat under your bed or hooked to your bed that you can grab easily and take with you after an earthquake or when you hear the smoke alarm.

Bug-Out Kits: Your Papers Please (important papers for evacuees) People need to remember that in a crisis they may not be able to remember basic information. So take originals or photocopies of. . .

Emergency Disaster Planning: Building a Bug-Out Kit (based on the lessons of Hurricane Katrina) Hopefully, few of us will ever be caught in such a widespread and devastating disaster as Hurricane Katrina. But should a natural or man-made disaster threaten your family or force an evacuation, having a fully-stocked and easily-reached emergency "bug-out" bag could help save your life during the first stages, and help make rescue, recovery and a return to normalcy easier and more successful.

The Grab'n'Go Bag In the event of an emergency, your personal comfort and well being is an essential. Compiling a Grab'n'Go bag will bring some peace of mind and assist you in your personal preparedness. It may be helpful to have a family discussion about establishing a home evacuation and reunification plan. Recent events have changed the recommendation for 72 hours worth of supplies to ONE WEEK.

My Bug-Out Bag (for women & cat owners) Here's what's in my Bug-out bag, which is a large sturdy backpack. I orginally did this because I lived within 10 miles of a nuclear plant, and the shelters wouldn't take animals. I couldn't leave my cats behind anymore than I could leave a child behind. So I decided how to get all three of us outta there. Since the hotels would fill up with families, I also figured we might have to spend the night in the car until I could get to either my folks' place or my sister's, depending on the traffic.

Taking The Bug-Out Bag Ultralight In the world of backpacking, some are paring down their equipment to an absolute minimum. The goal is a fully equiped pack that weighs less than 10 lbs, not including food, water, and fuel. Some have gotten their packs down to below 8 pounds. One day after reading about this, I took my empty large ALICE pack and frame and weighed it. It came out at over 7 pounds. Empty! These back packers are carrying gear that weighs less than my empty pack. So I knew I had to make a change. . .

EQUIPPED TO SURVIVE (tm) - SURVIVAL KITS of Doug Ritter "These lists of contents of my own survival and medical kits represent many years of gathering bits and pieces, research and optimizing them for my circumstances and where I fly, the Southwest U.S. This encompasses everything from barren desert to snow covered mountains and everything in between. Not much in the way of swamps or tropical jungles, but the full range of hot to cold temperate climate zones. These can serve as a guide to what might be included in a well stocked kit."

The Big List -- Contents "The following lists were culled from the best survival books on the market. Each book is worth a place in your library! Any errors/omissions are mine. Please refer to the listed book for more information."

Civil Defense Now! - Food and Water/72 Hour Kit By Richard A. Fleetwood - May 2001 Friends, This page is a great start for you on creating a very important tool to help you thru ANY desperate or disaster situation. It was compiled and placed in a report created for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, and was published as 86 Page PDF file which you can download from Survival Ring, as well as many other places. The manual states that any or all parts may be copied and distributed to benefit those who would put the information to good use. I present it here in HTML format to help EVERYONE wanting to create the best 72 hour kit they can to take care of their families.

100 Items to Disappear First in A Panic It might be a good idea to stock up on some of these BEFORE the panic strikes...

Do-it-yourself Survival Kit This is a compact kit that can be carried in the car, on the boat, or in a pack for hunting, hiking, exploring, etc. Most of the contents will fit in a one-pound coffee can which doubles as a pot for melting snow and device with which to dig an emergency snow shelter. (However, if you can carry it, include a small shovel. It is far, far better than trying to use a coffee can.) You should be aware that if this kit is carried while on hiking or hunting trips, you still need to carry the other Ten Essentials not included below...

Wilderness Survival- Survival Planning and Survival Kits The environment is the key to the types of items you will need in your survival kit. How much equipment you put in your kit depends on how you will carry the kit. A kit carried on your body will have to be smaller than one carried in a vehicle. Always layer your survival kit, keeping the most important items on your body. For example, your map and compass should always be on your body. Carry less important items on your load-bearing equipment. Place bulky items in the rucksack...

A basic medical kit for a 10-20 person shelter {link updated 3/15/2011} Compiled by Doctors for Disaster Preparedness.

Boy Scout Survival Kit You should always carry a knife, matches in a waterproof container, a compass, and a few band-aids. These items are normally enough under normal circumstances. However, in order to live up to our motto: "Be Prepared", you should carry a personal survival kit every time you go into the wilderness.

MAKE YOUR OWN SURVIVAL KIT A good way to keep your survival kit together is to use new plastic barrels with tight-fitting lids. First get the barrels and lids clean and dry. Each barrel can hold quite a bid of essentials and keep them clean and dry. In an emergency, it will be much easier to get a few barrels out than all the necessary items separately...

Survival Kits The Army has several basic survival kits, primarily for issue to aviators. There are kits for cold climates, hot climates, and overwater. There is also an individual survival kit with general packet and medical packet. The cold climate, hot climate, and overwater kits are in canvas carrying bags. These kits are normally stowed in the helicopter's cargo/passenger area.

Tools for the ultimate high-tech survival kit | CNET News.com If you're tech-savvy, and your home disaster kit already includes a flashlight, cans of food, bottled water, a first aid kit and plastic ponchos, then you may want to consider some advanced technologies for survival. After all, the U.S. government and the American Red Cross recommend that people prepare three days' worth of supplies and survival gear in the event disaster strikes.
