FAQ

Where can I store my survival gear

You should keep your emergency supplies close by so that you are always ready for an emergency. It is easiest to keep your supplies under your mattress or in a closet.

You should label all your supplies with the date and contents so you know what ones you have used.

Keep a copy of the inventory in another place. In case of an accident to your home or apartment, you will need proof that you have the right stuff.


How long should a survival kit's supplies last?

The best way to make sure you have enough supplies in case of emergency is to always have them available. You don't want to be stuck without anything when disaster strikes.

For camping trips, for instance, it is important to have everything in one backpack. You will need to have water, food, first aid supplies, fire starters and matches, as well as tools in case of an emergency.

Include a flashlight, map/compass, whistle and any other essential items. These items will help keep you safe and guide you home if necessary.

These items should be stored in a waterproof container. It is important that these supplies are easy-to-reach and do not get lost or tossed around in your backpack when you go hiking.

Think about the items you use the most frequently when packing your supplies. Also consider how much space each item takes. Add extra items if you have the space. Consider adding a stove, pots, and pans to your wish list if outdoor cooking is your main focus.

Be sure to remember exactly where your supplies are. If you lose them, you will have very limited options once you reach civilization.


How do I prepare my house for war?

First, make sure that all windows are shut tightly. Then put everything you own into storage. You will also need to store enough water.

An evacuation plan should be developed. Evacuate immediately if there is any possibility that your home may be attacked.

If you don't, then you may die!


What should you keep in your bug-out bag?

The Bug Out Bag (BOB), is a kit that can help you survive for 72 hours without food, water or shelter. It includes a first aid kit, flashlight, whistle, fire starter, compass, knife, matches, rope, bandana, handkerchief, toilet paper, hygiene items, sunscreen, sunglasses, socks, gloves, hat, bottled water, energy bars, batteries, emergency blanket, and other essentials.

You will likely only use half of the items you choose to place in your BOB. So choose wisely.
