If you are planning a trip out in the forest, you are going to want to take along a wilderness survival kit. These kits are for your own benefit whether you think you will need them or not. If you get lost or if something happens, such as a fall that would prevent you from getting home, you need to have the right equipment. Keep in mind that you should alwayspack your emergency survival kit so that you have enough to last at least three days.
The first thing you will want is a lightweight backpack; polyester is a durable material yet lightweight and recommended for any wilderness adventures and the wilderness survival kit. The color of the backpack should be a bright color that stands out easily if someone is looking for you. The easier it is for you to be found, the quicker you can receive the help you need.

DIY Disaster Kit
To say you can’t afford to buy a emergency survival kit, is just an excuse. You can make a DIY disaster kit that is just as good, if not better than the others.
Check thrift stores and garage sales for one of those black diaper bags, courtesy of Enfamil, often given to new mothers by the hospital after giving birth. Some women don’t like to use those black bags so they soon end up in the discard pile. That’s all right. Those bags are perfect for a DIY disaster kit. I’ve never paid more than $2 for one at a thrift store or $1 at a garage sale.
Then head off to your nearest dollar store. There you can find: a folding, lock-back knife, matches, dust masks, a bandana, a first aid kit, moist wipes, hand sanitizer, flashlight, pocket-sized radio, bottled water, beef jerky, canned meat, hard candies, gloves, rain poncho, batteries and almost anything else you can think of.
For under $20 you can have a well-stocked emergency survival kit. If you want more information about what a DIY disaster kit should contain, click here.
