- Water ...three litres per person/per day
- Radio (preferably a dynamo radio so you are not dependent on batteries/ otherwise buy batteries too)
- Raincoat
- Emergency blanket/blanket or sleeping bag
- A tarpaulin
- A method of boiling water and heating food (I use a pepsi can rocket stove)
- Pot or billy
- mug, plate (plastic, enamel or something unbreakable), spork
- knife (hunting knife is ideal...buy quality and keep sharp)
- emergency food supplies*
- food and water for pets
- first aid kit
- medication
- something to start fire with (matches, lighter, flint, firesteel, etc....choose two different items for redundancy)
- Flashlight (dynamo or battery powered-if battery provide batteries)
- warm change of clothing
- bug repellent and sunscreen
- list of important numbers and important documents
- cash...eftpos and credit cards will probably be useless to you
- whistle (ever tried calling for help...you cant keep that up for long)

Firesteel is really nice to have, i got the swedish army model firesteel. It's a must-have in anyones survival kit.
ReplyDeleteI found your blog through Lavender Haze. Great tips about the BOB. We put ours in the car when we go on a day trip. Emergencies don't just happen when you're at home.
ReplyDeleteYou are so right Granny J. Thanks for visiting.
