A basic 48 hour emergency kit is something every family should have. They should contain items like food to eat, water to drink and custom knives for protection and cloths. Emergencies happen all the time. It could be something as common as the power going out for a few days because of a tornado or having to deal with the aftermath of a hurricane.
These little kits are a small collection things you will need to help survive any emergency situation. It is generally best to get these items together first so you can reach them in a seconds notice. Should you need to leave home it is quite unlikely you will get time to go searching through your house to pick out the things you will require for the several days or be able to purchase them at any a local store.
To survive emergency situations people require three basic items; a small amount of useful supplies, food and water. You should always plan for your supplies to last your family for at least 2 days to be safe. There are often state, federal and local government agencies around to help out people but generally they are slow to get to everyone immediately. They could reach you in only few hours or in many days.
It is also vital that your kit is planned without possibly having common conveniences. Many times the simple things people take always for granite like sewage or water treatment, electricity, phone or gas may not work. They may be off for some time and your kit should always reflect this.
Every kit requires around a gallon of fresh water. Breaking this into smaller bottles is often the best plan. You should also pack some small filters and iodine just in case your water runs out and more water has to be treated and filtered.
Planning for food is a little harder. Granola and oatmeal bars make great high calorie snacks. Mixed nuts and honey are two items that will not spoil if stored for a long time. Canned tuna and chicken is good for making impromptu meals. Dried beans, oats and of course jerky are good for rounding out meals. A small bag of hard candy, tootsie rolls/pops or gum is good to break up the day for snacks.
Some general things you should have are batteries and a flashlight. A hand crank radio. A lighter waterproof matches and candles for extra light. You should have some showering and toiletry items and first aid kit packed. Some more things are duct tape, eating utensils, a can opener and pocket knife.
If you have the room some extra items you can add to your two day hour kit are a waterproof jacket, change of clothing and your favored custom knives. You might bring some can goods like meals and soups but try getting the condensed cans. Remember these kits need to be portable and easily accessible. Try to check through them at least every 6 months or so to keep them up to date so they can go at a moments notice.
