What kind of stuff should go into a survival/emergency kit?
A wind-up flashlight. Wind-up radio. What else?
The contents of any kit will depend on where you are and where you plan on going. Also the time of year can affect the items you may want to have with you.
If you want food in the kit then don’t waste space with stuff like Bouillon cubes. They have 0 calories and will do nothing for you at all. Energy bars are far better and can provide enough calories to keep you going all day.
Wind up stuff is nice but even they can go bad. I have a wind up flashlight that I’ve had for four years. I wound it up the other day for five minutes and the light lasted ten or fifteen seconds. Plan on replacing them every year or two. It does little good to have something that won’t work when you need it.
Most little multi-tools are junk. Spend the money and get a good one. If your life may depend on it then don’t skimp.
Water is more important than food but it weighs a ton. I suggest getting at least one of those filter straws now on the market.
The most important thing to take is not in your kit. It’s in your head. Use your brains.
