The Uses Of Emergency Survival Gears

By Lelia Hall


In many cases people do not think ahead to cater for emergencies, they do not plan or even foresee a situation where they might be outside their current comfortable situations. These are times that occur at the blink of an eye and have a life changing impact on humans since more often than not when they occur they tend to be life or death situations. To cater for these emergencies people are advised to have emergency survival gears.

One of the general characteristics of a survival gear is that it must be easy to carry and very easy to use, this is because an emergency occurs and at times its only a matter of minutes before the situation is out of control thus the gears must be easily accessible in times of emergency and must also be easy to carry because the situation might require one to run with the gear at hand.

One of the gears in this kit is a knife, the knife is used in this situation because in this case it can be used under various conditions as a multipurpose tool since it can be used as a screw driver due to its tip, it can also be used as a weapon due to its sharp sides, it can also cut fruits and meat in case of hunting and gathering. The knife can also be used to dig up holes if need arises.

Fire is an object with so many uses that its necessity is vital for the existence of mankind since its used to light up the surrounding its used to cook. Its also a source of heat and in the wild its used to scare away dangerous animals. This makes the matchbox almost indispensable in the emergency gears this is because it will be used to light the fires in times of crisis.

In many cases when a crisis occurs foods tend to be scarce and very rare to come by. This makes the inclusion of the foods to be something that cannot be overlooked in the emergency gears. In most cases dried foods like the nuts and cereals are parts of the foods that are considered in this cargo this is because the dried foods will tend to last for longer and are light as compared to other foods.

Man cannot live on food alone. Part of his necessary diet should include water which is paramount for their existence. Since its a proven fact that man can live for longer periods of time without food but when he or she is starved of water they die faster.

In emergency situations the comfort of sleeping in that warm cozy bed is almost impossible this is because the house will either be in existent or so insecure that one would rather sleep on the run than in the house. But sleeping on the run mostly involves sleeping on the ground. This makes the tent or the sleeping bag a necessity in order to survive in this situation since its the only portable bed or home.

In the survival gears one requires some form of antibiotic, a pain killer and a disinfectant. This are used to try and control a disease in case it arises or an injury in case it occurs.
