Prepper Tools: Part 3 of 3 – Survival & Emergency Kit Options

Numerous manufacturers offer so-called “survival kits” or “emergency sets”, which are designed for emergencies in the great outdoors. They consist of 10-15 different tool parts that are compactly packed in a small, waterproof, sturdy case and usually weigh less than 0.5 kg.

Choosing a survival kit is a personal matter. Some of these kits are basic, so they’re better suited to those who don’t go beyond just hiking. Others seem designed to take on the craziest and most unforgettable adventures AND disasters which is what we are here for.

Below is a review of 3 commendable survival kits for season 2022-2023 :

Next, there is a First Aid Survival Kit that is worthy of consideration not only because of what it offers but above all its portability characteristic :

- However, bear in mind, it doesn't include long-term emergency support supplies like food or water.

All-in-all, it's a great companion especially to a larger emergency kit.

Finally, on the subject of medical/first aid kits, we consider those products which provide an immediate source of Medical Care & Attention – before more professional treatment is available.

Consequently ……

  • It’s important to have a well-stocked first aid kit in your home so you can deal with minor accidents and injuries.
  • Your first aid kit should be locked and kept in a cool, dry place out of the reach of children.
  • Many people also keep a small first aid kit in their car for emergencies.

What should I keep in my first aid kit?

A basic first aid kit may contain:

plasters in a variety of different sizes and shapes
small, medium and large sterile gauze dressings
at least 2 sterile eye dressings
triangular bandages
crêpe rolled bandages
safety pins
disposable sterile gloves
tweezers
scissors
alcohol-free cleansing wipes
sticky tape
thermometer (preferably digital)
skin rash cream, such as hydrocortisone or calendula
cream or spray to relieve insect bites and stings
antiseptic cream
painkillers such as paracetamol (or infant paracetamol for children), aspirin (not to be given to children under 16), or ibuprofen
antihistamine cream or tablets
distilled water for cleaning wounds
eye wash and eye bath
It may also be useful to keep a basic first aid manual or instruction booklet with your first aid kit.
Medicines should be checked regularly to make sure they’re within their use-by dates.
