Survival Gifts

If your friends and family think you’ve gone off the deep end with your survival preparations and don’t make any effort to prepare, then you can get them started by survival gifts. Even if they don’t use the survival gift as an incentive to start their own preparations, you will have the peace of mind knowing that they have something that may help them in an emergency.

A 72-hour emergency bag is one of the best survival gifts you can give. They usually come with enough food and water for one person to last for three days. They also include an emergency blanket, a first aid kit, a flashlight, a radio and dust mask.

You can also create your own homemade emergency go bag or bug out bag by purchasing a small backpack and filling it with items you pick up from the dollar store. In fact for less than you would spend on a commercially prepared 72-hour kit, you can completely stock your own bag.

The average 72-hour kit runs between $25 to $35 dollars. You can pick up a used backpack for a less than $5 at a thrift store. Then stock it with the following items: Flashlight, lighters, water, sandwich crackers, granola bars, Vienna sausage, dust masks, first aid kit, sanitizer, tissues, radio, batteries and knife for $13. For under $20 you have a stocked kit for less money that a commercially created 72-hour kit.
