Disaster Kit

As with most situations in life, the ability to have a disaster kit and effectively prepare for an emergency situation requires that the prepper first gains a working knowledge of the obstacles presented by a specific scenario. While some generic preparations are recommended and appropriate for almost every situation, more specific planning is needed to survive other Doomsday events. For example, your disaster kit might include items such as food, bottled water, matches and a first aid kit. A small kit such as this can be easily packed into the trunk of your vehicle for emergencies on the road and, despite its small size and limited abilities; it could still prove to be a life saver in an emergency. That being the case, this basic kit would do little to help if you were case, this basic kit would do little to help if you were confronted with a more complex scenario such as freezing weather. It simply would not have the proper supplies to meet the needs of these situations because the preparer did not anticipate the need for additional gear.

To be truly prepared, even in the most basic sense, a prepper must logically look at the scenarios they expect to encounter and, then, look at the other scenarios that could logically branch off from the original threat. For example, if the individual who packed the diaster kit used in the previous example had anticipated that they would be driving in the middle of winter on back roads, they might have added a blanket, extra clothing and a hand shovel to their kit. With these extra items and a bit of self reliance, a prepared individual would be able to survive an unexpected stay for a few nights in the inclement conditions. In essence, the prepper anticipates the situations they might encounter and, thus, they are never caught in a truly unexpected situation. This type of individual is prepared for any emergency or contingency because they have already decided how they will survive the situation before they encounter it.
