Disaster Survival Gear

And there's a lot that life can throw your way, if we’d actually stop and think about it. Think back to the disasters that you saw on TV in the recent past, and reflect on the one thing that struck you the most – how unprepared ordinary people are when it comes to nature's fury. There's only so much warning a storm will give you before it decides to rip out power lines. A levee doesn't wait for you to get out of harm's way before it bursts open, flooding the roads, stranding you at home, cut off from all outside contact. Relying on the authorities can be futile – many times, they are too busy knee deep in rescue efforts, and can’t get to you fast enough.

Imagine being stranded on your own or with only your family, in an electricity-less building, with no means of communication with the outside world. Feel the panic? Imagine now, that you have full disaster survival gear close by, with flashlights, water purifying tablets and bottled water, food supplies, emergency glow sticks, fire starters, and other items that can make the difference between hysteria and self control. Feel the weight lifting off your shoulders? This is why being prepared for an emergency is so important. After all, as the saying goes, it wasn’t raining when Noah built the Ark, but what if he hadn't been prepared?!!

We offer thousands of items spread across a number of categories, all carefully chosen to ensure that you have exactly the kind of emergency supplies you need when you need it the most. There’s no end to the number of things you think you want, when stuck in the middle of a flood or a blizzard, but in reality, there is a core group of essentials that you absolutely have to have. Creating your own disaster survival kit can seem tempting, but you’ll likely end up with products that are either not essential enough, not really “emergency” or have a limited shelf life.

When it comes to disaster survival gear, it's not as if you'll get a second chance to stock up. Your supplies are the only form of immediate rescue you can hope for, and you don't want to be stuck wishing you had picked up water purifying tablets, instead of those 4 Evian bottles. Our disaster survival kits are designed to give you all that you need in times of an emergency in one easy to store, and easy to open pack. All products are sourced from reputed manufacturers, and are of top of the line quality. There’s nothing worse than pouncing on a flashlight in your kit, only to find it doesn’t work.

Our disaster survival gear kits are designed to give you up to 72 hours worth of survival tools, and are available as pre-assembled kits or individual components that you can then select from, to create your own kit.

Keep your disaster survival gear in your home, car, office, your camping vehicle, and other places that you frequent. After all, there’s no guarantee that your family will be together in an emergency.

When you’re stuck at home in a snow storm or other situation, your home emergency kits should contain essential first aid supplies, food and water, thermal blankets, lighting accessories, solar powered radios, and other essentials. If away from home, your disaster survival gear should include reflective clothing, walkie talkies, GPS systems, fire starters, flashlights etc. The trick is to have an emergency kit that is perfectly equipped to deal with the situation. For instance, a GPS isn't exactly the first thing you look for when you're stuck in a flood situation in your home, but is an invaluable part of a wilderness survival kit. Knowing what to have in what situation is crucial.

Survival Kits, Disaster Readiness Kits and Survival Tools

Keep our emergency survival kits handy to deal with disasters while you wait for professional help. These kits include disaster and pandemic readiness kits containing personal protection systems, food and water supplies, emergency medicines and tools, dust masks, blankets, weatherproof clothing items, and much more. Being lost in the wilderness won’t seem so terrifying when you’re armed with pocket survival packs that contain all that you need to draw attention to your situation. These survival tools can mean the difference between giving up in despair and holding on in confidence. Emergency lighting supplies, flashlights, florescent lanterns, table lamps, pocket pen lights and multi wick candles provide a glimmer of hope when all is dark.

Water, Food and First Aid

Our wide selection of first aid kits includes everything you need to survive in conditions that jeopardize your health and life. It is very easy to forget to take something on a trip, or fail to find something quickly in your house or apartment in a rush of an emergency situation, but with a first aid kit all you need to do is grab the preassembled kit that has it all.

Food supplies will run out fast in an emergency, so you better be prepared and have easy-to-carry high-energy food rations that will keep your energy levels high to cope with the stress of the situation. You can safely stack up on food items that have up to seven years of shelf life.

Although you might survive for a few days without adequate food, if you’re away from access to potable water, your chances of survival get much dimmer. Not only does water replenish life, but access to clean drinking water means that you won’t end up sick from drinking contaminated water. Even so, it’s incredible how often people take the availability of potable water for granted. If you’re stuck in a flood water situation, you could be surrounded by miles of water, and not have a single drop to drink, as the lyric goes. Water kits for emergency survival preparedness include not just bottles of water, but also larger storage containers for camping trips or trekking adventures. For emergency use, smaller portable water containers, canteens, and ration packets of water come with a shelf life of up to 5 years. If you’re out of clean water, water purification tablets can immediately give you H2O that’s safe to drink. Portable water purification systems will get rid of disease carrying bacteria and viruses in just one single step.

Warming/Cooling/Heating/Fire Starters

When stuck in an emergency situation, there are two things that every survivor instantly looks to do – light a fire for heat and light. A fire starter should be a part of every home, car and office, and a table top stove is a welcome addition to a wilderness survival kit. A selection of thermo clothing and gear will keep you warm or cool in any weather conditions.

Survival Books and Videos

Whether it's learning to find your way out of the woods using a map and a compass, cooking using solar fuel, or a survival guide to earthquakes, there’s plenty you can pick up from information materials, like survival videos, DVDs, survival books. When they are part of your emergency supplies kit, you’ll find that these videos and books add another dimension to your preparedness by acting like your personal disaster preparedness instructor!

Storage

When it comes to storing foods and other items for an emergency, the kind of storage and packaging you use is of the utmost importance. From green produce bags and Nalgene containers to plastic bags, vinyl storage bags and more, we offer a range of storage options that are guaranteed to keep your foods and other items dry, and rot-free.

Emergency Car Repair, Communication Equipment

Being able to keep in touch with the outside world when all your usual sources of communication are out can mean the difference between life and death. We offer a selection of communication equipment that allows you to find out the state of rescue efforts in your area, for instance, or the opportunity to reach others and let them know you need help. Simple, but useful instruments like self charging cell phones, wind and go radios and radio receivers don’t have to be high tech gear that only the military need. With these simple survival tools in your disaster survival gear bag, you’re truly prepared for any emergency. Weather radios that continually transmit data on high risk weather hazards throughout the country help you prepare for any eventuality, if it strikes your area. A walkie-talkie can seem like a toy until you’re actually stranded, and it becomes the only way to let your friends know where you are. A GPS is more than just a gadget to tell you where you are – it’s potential life saver. Emergency car repair kits contain tools for fixing common on-the-road problems like a flat tire.

Clothing and Shelter

Did you know that the vest you wear could alert people to your condition as you wait stranded in the middle of nowhere? Reflective vests take very little place in a disaster survival kit, but the reflective shades will be sufficient to alert others to your plight in the dark. Besides these, choose from reflective leg bands, and arm straps, LED safety lights to be affixed to your clothing, and other reflective accessories.

Terrorism Survival Kits

If there was one thing that 9/11 made clear, it was the fact that not even the most advanced city is safe from the confusion and utter chaos that follows a terrorist attack. Our terrorist attack survival kits contain essential safety tools and provisions to help you survive the first 72 hours of a nuclear, biological or chemical attack. Gas masks with special drinking canteens to fit, boots and gloves, iodine tablets that prevent the thyroid from absorbing any nuclear radiation, and special protective suits offer a first degree of protection against the lingering effects of any kind of terrorist activity.

Don't leave surviving a disaster to pure chance, or your friendly guardian angel. Preparedness in the form of complete disaster survival gear, including emergency supplies and a first aid kit can often be the only thing standing between you and certain death.
