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.



To begin with, one must find a kit that can accommodate the things they need most but is weighty enough to carry around and even run away with. Some of these situations can be so intense that one may not find the energy to carry around everything they need but only the necessities.



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 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.



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.



Water is also another necessity in the survival kit this is because life without water is improbable. Human beings can survive without food for weeks while a human being without water cannot survive this is because our bodies are mainly composed of water and a major reduction of the water levels is fatal for all human beings.



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 emergency situations accidents happen and illnesses occur and if one is not well prepared then they have to go through a rough time patch which at times tends to be fatal. To try and reduce the number of fatalities that occur due to emergencies one of the essential gears in the kit should include painkillers, antibiotics and also disinfectants.
