Preparing a Personal Survival Kit

1
Pick Your Survival Knife Carefully
Have you ever gone on a camping trip or a picnic
and when ready to open a can you discovered you
forgot a can opener? There will probably be a way
to get it open, if someone happens to have a
knife or tool that might work. However, it can be
rather frustrating. You may prepare your survival
pack or stash with a lot of survival food and
water but it is important that you have the tools
you need to work with. The survival food storage
usually comes in buckets and the lids are
extremely hard to get off. They have been put on
to stay and seal in the contents.You need a
bucket opener. Or perhaps you have gone hunting
or fishing for part of your lunch and find you do
not have a proper knife to use. Maybe you need to
start a fire to do your cooking but you do not
have matches or they were not waterproof and they
won't light. You are ready to leave the camp
grounds and you need to take care of the fire you
used to cook your food. It is then you discover
that you do not have anything to do the job with.
It would have been nice to have had one of those
compact shovels that are small enough to keep in
your vehicle. It is some of these minor items we
often forget while focusing on the major ones.
And sometimes, these little things have a
dampening effect on our whole camping experience.
You can save some frustration in a real survival
emergency, if you take time now to get some of
these items.

There are several disaster tools that are very
helpful for camping or any other outing. If you
purchase some of these to keep with your camping
items, they will be there when you need them.
Some examples might be some survival knives,
leather palm gloves, and either a compact shovel
or the 6-in-l shovel. A Swiss army knife also has
a lot of tools on it. These are fairly
inexpensive tools that are excellent to have on
hand. And by all means, have a hammer, screw
drivers, pliers and the usual around the house
tools. And oh yes, make sure to have some
waterproof matches. Some important items we may
forget in our survival supplies are some first
aid and hygiene kits. Purchase extra soap,
shampoo, sanitizer hand spray, first aid items,
toilet paper and things you know you will need.
Keep in mind that when something drastic happens
you probably will not be able to buy things very
easily, even if you happen to have the finances.
There are first aid kits and a hygiene kit
available and if you purchased a survival pack,
there may be some of these items in it.

Now for some other items and ideas that could be
helpful in a survival situation, such as some of
the old home remedies. You may want to purchase a
jar of Vicks Vapor Rub. Besides the normal use,
it can be used to rub on the soles of your feet
when you go to bed at night and it will stop a
bad cough. It is much safer then using cough
medicines. Keep a good supply of onions on hand.
Not only are they good for you to eat but for
other remedies. For instance, place an unpeeled
onion in a dish. Fix one for each room of your
house, especially in the winter time. It will
help keep you from getting the flu and colds as
the onions pick up the viruses. If there is
sickness in your family, place sliced onions on
the soles of the feet and put on socks to hold
them on and go to bed. This draws out poison from
your body and helps you heal. Usually, in the
morning the slices of onions will be black. There
are many interesting home remedies that can be
used when you cannot get to a nurse, doctor or
hospital.

Ask some of your older relatives and friends,
especially those who were in the great
depression, about some of the good old remedies
they used. Also, find out some of the things they
did to survive. I think you will find it very
interesting and helpful. So plan ahead and
purchase some of these useful disaster tools and
other items before your next camping trip or for
your survival pack or supplies. Do so now,
because when disaster strikes, it may be too
late. Predictions about what will happen come
2012 are not only saddening but Survive in Bed at
the same time, alarming and terrifying. But then,
while there are a multitude of us who already
believe in the predictions, there are still some
other people in different parts of the world who
refuse to believe and until now, remain skeptic
about such prophecies. To survive 2012, you must
first believe in the prophecies made by the world
renowned science experts as well as the most
famous prophet of all times, Nostradamus. As a
matter of fact, Nostradamus is the same man who
had predicted a lot of other catastrophes and
significant events in our history including that
of the 911 tragedy in the United States. What is
more, there are also the Mayans who have shared
the same prophecies for the year
