The Uses Of Emergency Survival Gears

By Lelia Hall


Life changes in the twinkle of an eye; it only takes an earth tremor to remind humanity how fragile life is and how unforgiving nature can be. With these factors in mind, humanity should always have a backup plan on and an emergency kit whereby a survival kit is a package of basic tools and supplies prepared in advance as an aid to survive in an emergency. Depending on the situation and the nature of the environment the emergency survival gears differ in both quantity and quality.

Part of the preparation one must have in readiness of a disaster is the emergency gear equipment in general. This gear should be generally easy to carry and easily accessible this is because the kit in itself should be one that is not a burden to survival and also should not be strenuous to carry since in times of crisis its usually a matter of life and death and if the gear is heavy it can be a hindrance if its heavy and involves running.

As part of the survival gear a knife is considered to be a very crucial tool in the trade this is because a knife serves as a multipurpose tool in these gears. The knife is considered to have several uses such as in cutting the fruits and meat hunted it can be used as a weapon too while it can also be used as a digging tool in case some digging is required too.

Fire is also considered to be a very important source of heat in our daily lives but in case of an emergency one cannot easily form a fire without an alternative fire source. This makes the matches very vital in the case of such a crisis because they enable one to start a fire without the hustle that the fore fathers had to go through in order to start the fire.

In many cases when a crisis occurs foods tend to be scarce and very rare to come by. This makes the inclusion of the foods to be something that cannot be overlooked in the emergency gears. In most cases dried foods like the nuts and cereals are parts of the foods that are considered in this cargo this is because the dried foods will tend to last for longer and are light as compared to other foods.

Water is also another necessity in the survival kit this is because life without water is improbable. Human beings can survive without food for weeks while a human being without water cannot survive this is because our bodies are mainly composed of water and a major reduction of the water levels is fatal for all human beings.

In cases of emergency such as a volcanic eruption, houses are the last place where one wants to be found this is because the house will be the most unsafe place to sleep at that time and in such cases it calls for sleeping outside this requires either a tent or a sleeping bag.

In emergencies anything is bound to happen from falling ill to getting accidents to counter this part of the equipment necessary for an emergency are painkillers, antibiotics and disinfectants this will enable the survivors to treat minor occurrences of diseases and contain minor injuries.
