Are You Thinking About Starting an Emergency Plan?

If you’re just starting to create an emergency preparation plan and gather supplies, it can seem overwhelming. It’s hard to know where to start, how much to store and what kind of emergencies to prepare for. Some of our favorite TV shows, like Doomsday Preppers and Doomsday Castle, feature people who dedicate a significant portion of their time and finances to being prepared for anything. We can learn a lot from dedicated preppers; however, you don’t necessarily need to invest in a bunker to be prepared for many emergencies!

Ensuring you have enough supplies to get you through a short-term emergency doesn’t have to be difficult. In fact, we have several ready-made kits designed just for this purpose. These kits contain water, basic supplies for hygiene and first aid, basic supplies for staying warm and keeping dry, food bars and other items (depending on which one you choose), all in a lightweight backpack. Our emergency survival kits are suitable for families, kids going to college (or graduating from college), couples who are starting a new life together, and even senior citizens who want to remain independent. (We love giving these handy survival kits as graduation and wedding presents because it’s likely to be one of the most useful gifts in the pile.

Everybody is on a budget, and it’s easy to put off buying emergency supplies when there’s not an emergency. Our survival kits start at just $38.99 per person. Kids going off to college can stash these backpacks in their cars or dorm rooms, they’re the perfect size to stow in a boat or RV and there are enough supplies to last for five days. That’s pretty cheap for peace of mind.

Once you have the basic supplies to get through a short-term emergency, you can take a little more time to build a supply stash for longer-term emergencies. One of the best ways to do this is to watch for our periodic sales on freeze-dried and dehydrated meal kits that can be safely stored for up to 25 years. Our kits contain from one month to a full year of meals for
one person or an entire family.

Some Items In Your Emergancy Kit Might Be Expired!

Remember the emergency kit you bought years ago?  Perhaps long enough ago that you aren't sure exactly what year you did buy it in?  Is it possible that it has been four or five years or more since you bought it?  Have you looked through it since?  If you had to use it today, would all of the supplies still be within their use by dates?  Would all of the supplies function fully?
Every emergency kit expires. At Reliant Survival Gear you can find all of the individual items that should be replaced as well as full kits. Our products range from the smallest survival kits to last for a couple hours during a blackout, to long-term living off the grid food packages. We have very specific disaster kits, to full preparedness packages that prepare you for anything that might come your way. We have packages that stay in your vehicle to keep you covered on the road and even specific packages to cover your pets. We also carry a great selection of First Aid cabinets. 

Here a list of common items that are found in most emergency kits with their typical expirations:

 
Light sticks - 5 years (older versions used to be only 4 years)

 

Emergency water - (the kind in packets approved by the U.S. Coast Guard) - 5 years
 

Emergency Food - (again the U.S. Coast Guard approved type) - 5 years




 


 

Batteries- most now at least 7 years


 

First aid - some components are up to 2 years while others are indefinite






Things can and will happen. Whether it's a tornado, flood, snow, draught, volcano, earthquake, or any variety of natural disasters. Even the possibility of terrorism and potential economic collapse, all these could affect your way of life. Are you prepared? It's more important than ever to be prepared. FEMA's disaster preparedness guidelines for your family have changed from 72 hours worth of food and water to several weeks to 1 month or more of food and water. If you don't think you need 1 month of food and water, I do recommend that you at least have a 72 hr. plan in place for you and your family.
 Please take a look through the entire website and see all the great products offered. If you are having trouble deciding on what you want, or what you think you should have to keep your family, friends and co-workers safe in the event of a disaster, please do not hesitate to call us. We will walk through with you what you are trying to accomplish and make suggestions to help you prepare!
