Survival Kits

A 72-Hour Kit may be appropriate if you are traveling from your home to friend’s or relative’s home that live in a different town, or if you are staying in a shelter. But, what if conditions arise that force you to temporarily head for hills. Roads and neighboring towns may become dangerous or impassable. You may choose to take the road less traveled and fend for yourself in the wild until conditions improve. In some cases a few days will be all you need for order to be restored. Your 72-hour kit may not be designed to help you cope in this type of environment. Consider a Survival Kit or add Survival related items to your 72-Hour Kit, such as: Shelter, Fire-Making, Water Purification, Etc...

Below are notes and pictures of my Urban/Survival Hybrid Evacuation Kit. In certain situations an emergency evacuation kit (72-hour kit) won’t be enough or the correct supplies for the incident. The same is true for a survival kit. I have combined the two kits into one. Sure it is heavy, but I prefer having all I need for the particular emergency and dropping what I don’t believe is necessary along the roadside to lighten my pack. This would be impossible to do if you didn't bring the right gear in the first place.

Let’s say you setup camp and decide to go gather fire wood or check your snares. This hip pack will travel with you ….just in case. It is stored in a small hip pack so it is light and easy to carry.

I used a Coghlan’s survival kit and added a few items of my own.
