Large Survival Kits

The basic idea behind a Survival Kit is pretty simple; it’s basically some sort of container, that’s filled with the essential gear and supplies you need to survive an emergency situation.  When you hear the term survival kit, you probably think of something that’s relatively small; something that you can grab quickly should a disaster or emergency situation occur.

Emergency Supplies

While these small kits are great for everyday carry situations, you should also think about creating a larger kit for your home, vehicle and anywhere else where you spend a good portion of time. These larger kits should be filled with the basic necessities to sustain yourself and your family over a long period of time.

  1. Plan to go off the gov grid. My wife is a nurse and I am a well versed outdoorsmen, but I need supplies for the high ground when it all goes bad.

  2. I noticed in the past, about a year ago, some survival kits that were listed on this site. How do I find them again…I’d like to order in time for Christmas…
    Thanks!
