When tragedy strikes, items that you typically take for granted become essential. If you plan on surviving, you have to know what items are necessities and what you can look past. The items you hoard can mean the difference between surviving another day and having to plunder and steal to live. If you’ve never given this any thought, you need to seriously start considering it. In order to give you a little help, we’ve compiled a list of items you should hoard in an emergency. When a natural disaster occurs, you will be at an advantage if you stockpile the items mentioned below.21: Electric Cooker
If you don’t want to eat cold
canned foods every day, then a cooker will definitely come in handy. You can
run it with the electricity generated by your generator or with multi-fuels
such as gasoline, kerosene, or white gas. It is a much faster way to cook than
trying to start a handmade fire and will allow you to have some decent meals
even if you don’t have the modern conveniences of a stovetop oven.
Earlier, we listed a battery
operated radio as an essential item. There are other battery operated items
that will come in handy so you’ll want to stock up on as many batteries as
possible. Try to get as many battery sizes as possible and if you can get
rechargeable batteries that will be even better. Get a solar powered battery
charger to be able to get the most out of your batteries. When buying
batteries, try and make sure you’re getting the newest ones by looking at the
expiration date.
If you’re stranded as a result
of a natural disaster or other event, you may be forced with dealing with tons
of bugs and insects. You want to keep as many of them away as possible. Not
only are bugs a nuisance, but they also carry diseases that you want to avoid.
They will be all over so having a good bug spray available will help keep them
away. Also consider keeping traps that are often used in gardening as well.
This will all come in handy when it comes to keeping the bugs away.
Having comfortable footwear is
essential for survival. A good pair of hiking boots and comfortable sneakers
are going to help you out a lot. You will be doing a lot of moving around and
walking because driving won’t be an option. You’re not going to make it very
far in that pair of loafers or high heels so you want shoes that are made for
walking and standing for extended periods of times. Also you want footwear that
is durable and will last for a long time.
When it comes to surviving an
emergency situation, your laptop backpack won’t suffice. You need a full fledge
hiking backpack that can hold several different survival items. Your survival
bag will house your water, first aid kit, tools, and anything else that you need
to survive. You need to be able to pick it up and get on the move quickly.
Keep the most important items in here that you won’t be able to live
without.
