FAQ

What should you buy first when prepping

You must ensure you have enough water bottles for everyone on your trip. They are crucial!

Make sure you have enough sunscreen lotion. It doesn’t make a difference if you’re going on a hike or to the beach. You’ll still need it.

Don't forget extra batteries for your electronics. Last, but not the least, bring some sunglasses. You won't realize how much glare you will experience until you reach the destination.


What medical supplies should I have in my stockpiles?

In an emergency situation, ensure you have enough medicine for at least three months. Stocking up on all kinds of medication, such as pain relievers, antibiotics, and cold medicines, is the best way to do so. You may also want to consider storing food as well because if you don't have access to fresh foods, you won't have much time to prepare them.


My survival gear should be stored where?

Keep your emergency gear handy so you can quickly access it in an emergency. You can store your supplies in a closet, under your bed, or in the basement.

You need to label all supplies with the contents, date, and how they were used so you can easily identify which ones are good and which are not.

Also, make sure to keep a copy your inventory somewhere else. In case of an accident to your home or apartment, you will need proof that you have the right stuff.

How To

How to find Potable Water in a Survival Situation

It is possible to save your life if you are in an emergency situation that requires water. You need to be able to quickly and efficiently find water when you are in survival mode. You'll want to ensure that you have enough water to survive until help arrives. Lack of clean drinking water can cause dehydration, which could lead to death.

This article will give you some useful tips on how to find water during crisis situations. We will discuss the different types of water available and which are most suitable for each situation. We'll talk about how to filter dirty water and purify it so you can drink it safely. We will also discuss how water can be stored for future use.

What Types of Water Sources are There?

When you're out in the wild, you'll probably be surrounded by various water sources, including streams, lakes, ponds, rivers, springs, oceans, and rainwater. These water sources may be available all year depending on where you live. Or they might be only accessible during the winter. To choose the right type of water source for your specific location, you'll need to consider several factors.

First, consider whether or not you will be able to obtain fresh water. This means you'll need to consider whether you'll have easy access to a stream, lake, river, pond, spring, ocean, or rainwater. The second is whether you have access water. Because it is difficult to treat water contaminated with urine and feces, you should not collect it. Third, think about how much water that you are going to need. You will need to consider how long you are going to be out of your home, how dry and hot it is, what size your family is, and how many people you have. Fourth, you need to decide how to transport the water. You may not have access to all water sources. This makes transportation challenging. For example, you might have to carry a heavy container full of water across a steep hillside. The weather conditions are also important when choosing a water source. If it's stormy, you may not be able or safe to depend on rainwater. However, a sunny day can allow you to collect water and avoid contamination.
