A True Prepper Survival Pack Has A Lot Of Necessary Things

By Edna Booker


Since prepper is a name that means to prepare for something, this person must do tings that ensure they are ready for that something. That something could be a foreign invasion or a flood that sends them out of their home. It could be other weather related disasters and it could be something that the government is doing that has everyone in the area scared. These people usually prepare, first, a Prepper Survival Pack.

This pack, often known as a bug out bag, has s specific purpose and that is to survive for a short time away from your home and normal supply channels. Each member of your party, be that a family, or loosely associated group of individuals, should be responsible for the actual carrying of their bag or pack.

The items that should be in this kit should allow you to stay alive for about three days. This is a critical time line. It should allow your party to get away and find some place that can be fortified as a more permanent dwelling. A brief look at these things will help you understand the importance of this back pack full of survival items.

Three days of water is heavy. Do not believe that you will be able to take a shower everyday. The water you carry will be for hydrating your body as in drinking and cooking and cleaning dishes. The need for water, especially if you are on the run, is vital for the proper functioning of your body.

Food is next on the list. Do not pack a lot of cans as these get heavy very fast. Dehydrated snacks and meals are available in many survival stores and some are found in regular grocery outlets. These are light weight and only need a little water and some heat to make them a nutritional meal. Military personnel use these in the field and you are definitely in the field.

The prepper will also need something that can serve as a roof and, possibly, a wall or two. This can be accomplished with a tent or a tarp that can be thrown over a limb or fence post. A sleeping bag for everyone will also help you get some sleep in a cold environment. Sleep is something that you need especially if you are going to be on the move most of the time.

One of the most important elements of this bag will be a first aid kit. This exercise is all about survival, so you need things that will help keep you healthy and, as necessary, germ free. A good disinfectant, a lot of bandages and sanitary wipes will go a long way. Consult with a medical professional for additional items and be sure to pack all regular medication any member of your party normally takes.

If you have food, water, shelter and a good knife, hand crank radio and flashlight, you are probably good to go. Remember, the idea is to pack light and have it all in back packs so it is easy to carry. The most important part of this preparation is to only take those things that are necessary, plus book or a magazine, just in case.
