The Uses Of Emergency Survival Gears

By Lelia Hall


In many cases people do not think ahead to cater for emergencies, they do not plan or even foresee a situation where they might be outside their current comfortable situations. These are times that occur at the blink of an eye and have a life changing impact on humans since more often than not when they occur they tend to be life or death situations. To cater for these emergencies people are advised to have emergency survival gears.

To begin with, one must find a kit that can accommodate the things they need most but is weighty enough to carry around and even run away with. Some of these situations can be so intense that one may not find the energy to carry around everything they need but only the necessities.

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.

During crisis normal food sources tend to be so scarce to an extent of starvation. With this in mind, part of the gears that is very vital in an emergency kit is the dried food like nuts and dried cereals, the dried substances are the best candidates in the gear because they are light and have a high nutrient value as compared to other wholesome foods.

It has been proven scientifically that man cannot live without water but can go days on end without food this makes the water to be a very necessary tool in the emergency gear. This is because it is very vital for its intake so that man can survive.

In emergency situations the comfort of sleeping in that warm cozy bed is almost impossible this is because the house will either be in existent or so insecure that one would rather sleep on the run than in the house. But sleeping on the run mostly involves sleeping on the ground. This makes the tent or the sleeping bag a necessity in order to survive in this situation since its the only portable bed or home.

In emergency situations accidents happen and illnesses occur and if one is not well prepared then they have to go through a rough time patch which at times tends to be fatal. To try and reduce the number of fatalities that occur due to emergencies one of the essential gears in the kit should include painkillers, antibiotics and also disinfectants.
