Survival Checklist

 

 

R U Ready? I know this seems like a lot of items on our survival checklist, but if you want to be really prepared for a major disaster, then it's going to take some planning.  

If your going hiking, mountain climbing, biking, fishing or hunting off of the beaten path, then you should have a small survival kit that you can carry with you. This would include the minimum of a mirror, whistle, waterproof matches, pencil, paper, surveyors ribbon, fire starter, emergency blanket, snare wire, paracord, trick birthday candle (the type you can't blow out) tea candle, knife and a picture of your loved ones. Put this in a sealable freezer bag. You can use the bag to pack water if you need to. 

Now I know a lot of you have cabins, cottages, holiday trailers, motor homes, campers and vans. Stock these up and have them ready to go. I know your not going to put anything out there that can freeze in the winter, but you can have everything else in there. If you don't have any kind of unit, then buy totes and keep items in them, and keep them handy enough that you can grab them and go in a hurry.
