A few days ago I stumbled upon your site while searching bing for bowling tips/tricks. Your site wasn’t exactly what I was looking for, but it was packed with information otherwise. Now I find myself continuing to read more and more posts and I love it!

P.S. Just looked at the flyer I just got from SOS and they are less expensive on their emergency survival kit backpacks than the website Julia writes about!

Thanks for the tip on HONEY – forgot about that one!
Another good resource for all your disaster needs is SOS Survival Products in Van Nuys, CA – website: http://www.SOSProducts.com (No, I do not work there!)

The only things in my car are a flashlight, water, walking shoes, bandaids & HONEY. I keep the sealed packets I get when I order tea because Honey is not only a food, but can be used as an antiseptic to heal wounds. The packets weigh next to nothing, are “free” & since honey never goes bad, I don’t worry about it expiring. I keep telling my Marine that one day it’ll save our lives & he just laughs. Hah! I’d rather eat honey than bugs After reading your posts, however, I will be adding a pair of leather gloves. Good idea!

Thanks for this post!! I’m in the same boat as you with wanting to assemble one myself and having nothing yet. Will definitely be hitting this site up

I started to create an emergency survival kit years back. I had most of the basic items you mentioned at one time, but I need to freshen up the band-aids, batteries and a few other things. One thing I was told was to have a good pair of closed-toed shoes available. Preferably a leather work boot with a steel reinforced toe if at all possible. When a serious disaster, such as an earthquake, strikes, we are likely to encounter wood splinters and glass fragments on the ground. Also, thick leather gloves are a good idea to protect your hands when clearing away stuff. Goggles for your eyes are not a bad idea either.
