A disaster situation can be a true test of leadership. People can panic and forget their common sense. They need someone to guide them on the next practical steps to take.
But in a panic situation, the leader should be heard above the crowd. A bull horn is a practical gadget that should be included on the list of items in a community-disaster-management plan. This will help the designated official to be heard when he gives out his instructions.
Everybody’s outdoorsman needs a good first aid kit. The outdoor first aid kit below is perfect for the sportsmen in our family.
Knowing that the guys have this kit and a couple of extra solar blankets helps me feel more comfortable about them going out hunting, as I know they have some emergency supplies and a few first aid supplies.
One of the most important things to add to or have in your auto emergency kit is a thermal blanket or solar sleeping bag. These item are small and fit easily in your glove box. Great for auto emergencies and outdoor survival.
These blankets generally retain 90% of your body heat, can be used as a ground cover, and will protect you from the elements.
I can’t believe how many houses I have been to that do not have a first aid kit. It happens all the time, and I always urge each of my friends to keep one inside of their homes just in case anything happens. Nobody ever expects a disaster, but that is really the crux of the issue isn’t it? Disaster always strikes at the worst possible time and the only thing that we can do is to prepare ourselves as best as possible.
A first aid kit is a simple, inexpensive way for us to have something available at the drop of a hat. Although when we are at home, emergency services are available for us to utilize, having full reliance on these services might not be the wisest thing. Being prepared in advance at home and out on the road is.
With such a kit at hand, you will be better prepared to face a natural disaster like a hurricane. And even if you are forced into a situation that requires evacuation or emergency supplies, you have your back covered.
Here is a nice list of additional items to add into your auto emergency kit if they are not included.
A tire pump or an aerosol tire inflator
A car battery charger that can jump start your car through the car’s cigarette lighter. Amazing devise if its fully charged.
Duct tape and wire to fix a window, a dropped tail pipe, etc…
A fire extinquisher
A first aid kit
A plug in spot light and/or a shake flashlight
A tow rope
For winter gear, a shovel, a scraper, and some traction panels to put under your tires to get unstuck.
