Personal Survival Kit Contents
More Articles Related to Survival KitsWhen your survival is at stake it is always good to have a basic survival kit at the ready for emergency use.
Many people choose to purchase pre-made survival kits, but these are often of potentially dubious quality. One problem with off the shelf survival kits are that survival kit makers are in competition and this causes price to be a major factor. When you choose a survival kit based on price you may be relying upon its inferior contents to keep you alive during an emergency.
There is much to think about when choosing the best survival kit for your needs. I advocate making your own survival kits for these reasons:
- You will know about the quality of the survival gear you choose to include.
- Your custom made survival kit can be tailored to the situations you expect to encounter (lost, earthquake, car breakdown, etc).
- You will be more likely to know how to use the individual items in your survival kit when the time comes.
- Making a personal survival kit a rewarding endeavor.

One of the most important additions to my survival kit is a tiny waterproof LED light . It just clips on to a 9 volt battery to give at least 250 hours of light. Bright enough to be able to see at night to get your shelter made, firewood collected or whatever. I have used mine for many months now with excellent performance.
Everything in my survival kit has to be small, very efficient, robust and usually multi purpose. I have wrapped some insulation tape around the battery to keep the battery and the light together-this doubles as a way of attaching it just above the ear for hands free use.
Survival Topics - I agree, the LED lights are very bright and batteries last much longer than traditional lighting. Good comment!

I suggest making a few survival kits: a few pocket survival kits for your family members, one kit for each of your cars and for the house.
