The SurvivalGearFirst.com blog offers helpful information regarding how to survive a food emergency, formulate a disaster plan, and equip you with the proper emergency survival gear to safeguard you and your family during an unexpected natural disaster or other unplanned event.
Having survival skills is very important if you intend to keep your family safe during an emergency. It can seem overwhelming to think of all the supplies and gear you would need, so many people simply avoid it until it is too late. Waiting for a disaster to happen, then, trying to scramble to assemble the things you need is not the way to prepare. Imagine the surprise as so many people were caught off guard as Katrina came ashore in Louisiana. Sometimes, a natural disaster can be overwhelming, but the folks who thought with a clear head and had the basic supplies and communication equipment nearby survived.
Begin the process of being prepared by making out a list of things you would need if you had to leave your home for 72 hours. This would include things like extra clothing, food, flashlights, batteries, water, communications, and basic tools. If you can assemble a 72 hour kit for each member of your family, then you’ve made a great stride in having everyone be prepared for a disaster.
Over time, you can prepare for larger disasters by purchasing or growing your own food. Some food storage companies like Wise have freeze-dried or dehydrated food that last for up to 25 years if stored properly! So, you can purchase enough of this long term food storage to last for a few months. Water is also very important to keep on hand. It will not store forever, but you can replenish and rotate it easily.
Let’s not forget firearms. In the United States, we have the right to bear arms. Something as simple as a .22 caliber rifle can be a valuable tool to have when you are forced to hunt for food. Firearms can also be valuable for defense or to trade with in prolonged emergency situations.
