Food & Firemaking
We humans can go several weeks without food, but think about it...how well will you function? Have you ever tried fasting for a full day? Two days? Try it.
Headaches, loss of energy, confusion, and lack of focus can all happen within 12 hours of your last meal.
How long can your kids go without eating? Ours can go a whopping 12 minutes...
Home Fires
One of the most important reasons to have an Emergency Survival Kit / Bug Out Bag is to prepare for home fires. Why? Because in only a matter of minutes a small flame can turn into a raging house fire, and you and your family may only have seconds to escape.
You wouldn't have time to grab anything that wasn't already prepared near an exit.
Home fires, more than any other thing we prepare for (other than a tornado) strike the fastest and pose the most significant threat us.
