		<description><![CDATA[With modern conveniences such as electricity and technology, we have become accustomed to a standard of living in which lights, water, and food are always available at our fingertips. We have also come to expect that if we have an emergency, the paramedics, fire trucks, and police are just minutes away and ready to come to our rescue. All of these are essential to life and survival, but can you really expect them during a major emergency or disaster? The answer is quite simply…no. No matter where we live, we are susceptible to some type of disaster. Floods, earthquakes, tornadoes, hurricanes, tsunamis, fires, major storms, viral outbreaks, or other disasters/major emergencies are a part of our lives and something we don’t usually think about until it happens. I have 25 years of experience in coordinating emergency/disaster response, both in the military and the local county sector. In my years of working in emergency services, I have experienced the full cycle of working with and talking to rescuers and victims from the start of the emergency through to the end, when the clean up and rebuilding begins. When disaster strikes, emergency responders in your area are going to be overwhelmed. Your [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Pre-made emergency survival kits are a great way to instantly prepare for emergencies. Also called emergency backpacks, disaster survival kits, bug out bags, 72-hour kits, emergency kit, survival pack, and earthquake survival kits, these emergency packs come with most of the supplies needed for you and your family to prepare. All crammed into one bag, there is a lot of stuff that comes with each bag/kit. Survival backpacks are not all you need though, as you must ensure you also include clothing and medications. Be sure to have enough for each family member. These kits can be stowed away for ready use when needed. Make sure you have them in a readily accessible place so everyone knows where to grab and go. Also don&#8217;t forget about having something prepared for your pets. Medications, blanket, food, water, etc. These kits are an integral part of emergency preparedness and are also great for outdoor or wilderness survival. For more information about planning for emergencies, visit the Home Emergency Plan page. Having car emergency kits in every vehicle is also a must. Many people are under the impression that if they don&#8217;t live in a cold weather climate, they won&#8217;t need one. Not [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Everyone knows that water is the core to life. As most people know, all water is not created equal. Water can become easily contaminated by anything that it comes in contact with. During times of an emergency or camping in the great outdoors, it is imperative to have clean fresh drinking water. Who knows what has been in that water? During these times it is imperative that you know that the water you and your family are drinking is safe. You will not know if your drinking water is clean enough for you to drink unless you pack it yourself or use a system to make it clean. There are a number of options available to pack water in. Big emergency water containers are great to pack water for several days or for several people. Unless you are storing the water or driving to the place you need it, it is not very mobile. To pack a viable supply of good water, you need a smaller container to carry around. Camelbaks are great for this. There are systems to purify and filter the water that is available if that is your only option. Microfilters and iodine are always an option. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Obviously, food is a staple of life needed to survive emergencies or the venture in the great outdoors. When looking to supply a food cache, make sure the food has a long shelf life and that you periodically check it to make sure it is still good. You don&#8217;t really want to find yourself in a position of needing the food and it is no longer good. Some can goods are ok to keep in the basement but aren&#8217;t feasible to pack on the go. If you do have some can goods stashed, make sure to have a can opener. The best options are food bars and dehydrated meals. They last a long time, have little or no preparation, and are easy to pack out. Many emergency/camping food bars and dehydrated meals are actually pretty good tasting and are packed with the nutrition you need. Make sure to read the ingredients for any allergic items that may affect you or your family and that it has the nutritional value you need. Here you will find a vast assortment of food supplies to fit your needs. These foods offer a long shelf life and are light weight enough to be able [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Portable lights are always a necessity. Whether it be flashlights, glow sticks, lanterns, or any other portable light source, there is always a need to have portable lighting at hand in case of emergencies. When it comes to flashlights, you definitely get what you pay for. You can spend a few bucks to get an adequate flashlight, but it may not be ready when you need it most. I don&#8217;t like spending a lot of money on something like a flashlight, but when you need it most you would pay just about anything for it to work. When it comes to flashlights and other devices, don&#8217;t forget about spare batteries. There are flashlights that don&#8217;t need batteries. Some you wind to generate their power and others you shake. It is not a bad idea to always have one of these. With today&#8217;s ever-growing technology items, emergency recharging of all of our technology items has also become a necessity. Amazon.com Widgets Power packs are a very handy method of having portable power. Most power packs provide both AC and DC power to accommodate all your items. Some have a radio built in, jumper cables, mini air compressors, and just about any [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Various tools for emergencies or camping are paramount. Getting in or out of places, repairing, building shelter, or preparing a fire are a must for survival. Having the right tool for the job is a necessity, but many tools are multi-functional which can save space and money. My personal favorite is the multitool, more commonly known as a Leatherman or Gerber. This little tool is like a mega Swiss Army knife. It has pliers, screwdrivers, knives, and much more all folded in one little piece. These are great to keep in your glove compartment, camping kits, and emergency gear. Browse below for some great tools to fit almost any need. Many items are now available with free shipping. Click on any item to get more details.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Whatever the situation, means of communication can be paramount. Whether it be communicating with family, getting information on weather situations, or getting help, communication will make the difference to more quickly resolve problems. If a disaster occurs, don&#8217;t expect to whip out your cell phone and make a call. Cell phones and regular phones will either be lost or jammed. During inclement weather, satellite television will go out just when you need information the most. It is vital that every household have a weather radio with a good battery. Weather radios provide weather information to your selected area and will set off an alarm when hazards are possible in your area. Two way radios are good to stay in contact with someone else. Below you will find a variety of emergency and camping communications equipment available through Amazon. Many items are available now with free shipping.

Whether trying to find safety or getting far away in the great outdoors and back, you will be glad to have a good navigation tool to get you there. From the technology driven who prefer a GPS or the hard core outdoorsman who prefer a simple compass, you will find what you want below. Don&#8217;t forget the binoculars.
