Survival Kit's a Ounce of Prevention is Worth a Pound of Cure

by James huff

A ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. This is a very good saying to live by. In today economic state and with companies going under and governments all around the world failing. It might be a good Idea to prepare yourself a well built survival kit. I know that this might sound extreme but once again a ounce of prevention is worth a pound you cure.

There are many things that to into a good survival kit. Some of the obvious things are none perishable foods, bottled water For the reason of you will want to be able to eat and drink if things get to the point that food is hard to come by. Other things that you might want to include are toothpaste and tooth Brush along with other hygiene related objects. You might even want to throw things like toilet paper in there as well.. A first aid kit is a absolute must, and tools. It would be a good idea to have a small tool set with your survival kit. A flash light and lots of batteries. It also would be good to have candles as another sources of light. A small radio, and a few warm blankets, maybe some wool clothing I say wool because wool will always stay warm even if it is very wet it still will insolate you, and keeping warm might be something that is very important in hard times.

Those are things that most people would think of when making a survival kit. Here are some things that a lot of people would not think about but can be just is important. For starters some sort of hard currency. Gold or silver, if the country you are in economy is failing the paper money that it makes is going to be worthless. But gold and silver will always be worth something, so to have some would be a very good investment. You should also have a few good knives in you kit as well. Knives are a great tool. They can be used for many things. Most importantly they can be used to defended all of the things that I have mentioned above. In hard times if you have something that others want people will try to take it. If it is up to there children starving or yours, they will let yours go hungry. That is why I would recommend having a few good quality knives in your kit, and if you can afford to gave a gun and ammunition in your kit I would recommend that as well. I have opened a online store called pocketknivesdepot.com to try to make good quality knives affordable. So if you are going to make your self a survival kit I would be happy to see you shopping in my store thank you., and I hope that this is the survival kit that you will never have to use.
