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.

Part of the things that are necessary in an emergency gear unit is a knife, this is because a knife is a versatile tool by nature as it can be used as a weapon in times of danger because its sharp and strong while it can also be used as a cutting tool to chop down vegetables and hunted meat in case of a crisis. The knife can also be used to screw out objects that need to be screwed since in emergencies screwdrivers will be easy to come by.

Fire is also considered to be a very important source of heat in our daily lives but in case of an emergency one cannot easily form a fire without an alternative fire source. This makes the matches very vital in the case of such a crisis because they enable one to start a fire without the hustle that the fore fathers had to go through in order to start the fire.

All gears should also contain some dried foods this is because the dried will not go bad in a short span of time, the dried food mostly consists of nuts and dried grains and cereals, reason being they have high level of energy and can sustain human beings on the sheer minimal in case of a crisis.

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.
