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!
