Tips To Use In Selecting Survival Gear

"Gear" is one particular words under that you can lump a lot of different things. What's "gear" to one person may not be to another person. However, generally, people have a common understanding of what "gear" is particularly with regards to survival gear. Survival items are basic in function and are designed to make your life (in a survival situation) just a little easier and a little less stressful. Below are a few tips in deciding what survival gear you should get.

1. Select items that you will need, not items that you want to have. Here you need to exercise just a little judgment and a little self-control. Do you really need a 8-person tent for just you and your wife?

2. Don't select something that you already have unless the item you have doesn't work well or is broken and must be replaced. Another exception to this tip would be if the survival gear item has a feature that you'll require. Maybe you already have a multi-tool however your multi-tool doesn't have an awl you know you will require and by investing in a different multi-tool which includes an awl, it is possible to fill that need.

3. Obtain at the very least 3 survival gear checklists, go through the lists, and do a couple of things. First, identify those items that are mentioned on all of the gear lists. This will help identify the survival gear items which you truly need. Second, considering you and your family's own private needs, go through the lists and identify items which will help meet you and your family's personal needs.

4. As a check, participate in one or more of the survival blog websites for a while and see what others are recommending in terms of survival gear, the pluses, and the shortcomings.

5. Once  The Prepper Live  have identified and made a list of the survival gear that you need, take the time to go through customer reviews (e.g., I've found Amazon.com to be a fantastic source for customer product reviews) to see what someone other than the manufacturer has to say about that particular product. How a product performs used may be entirely not the same as how it reads in print!

6. Quality is more important than price in selecting survival supplies! In the center of a tragedy or crisis, you won't be able to run to the store to locate a replacement for something that breaks or doesn't work.

7. If you consider a particular piece absolutely "critical" for you as well as your family's survival, it could be wise to purchase at least two of them.
