My survival gear should be stored where?

Label all of your supplies with date and contents. This will help you identify which items you've used.

Also, be sure to keep another copy of your inventory. You'll need to show proof that you owned the right things if something happens in your apartment or home.


Are guns safe to keep?

Yes! Yes. Gun ownership is a protected right under the Second Amendment. It's important that you remember that not everyone is entitled to own firearms. For example, people who suffer from mental illness are prohibited from owning guns.

That being said, having a firearm in your home can save lives. In fact, according to the CDC, between 1999 and 2016, there were over 33,000 deaths due to unintentional shootings.

The good thing is that concealed weapons can be carried in most states. Even if you don't have a gun permit, you can still carry one.


How many days worth of supplies should I have stored away?

You should aim to have three months worth of supplies in your home. That would include enough food, water, as well as other necessities, to sustain you for three consecutive months.

However, this number varies depending on the severity of the emergency. In remote areas, there may not be any neighbors nearby who could help you. Perhaps there isn't a power grid.

If that is the case, it's best to plan for a longer-term scenario.


What should I buy first when prepping?

Make sure you bring enough water for everyone on your trip. They are crucial!

Sunscreen lotion is also important. It doesn’t make a difference if you’re going on a hike or to the beach. You’ll still need it.

Don't forget extra batteries for your electronics. Last but not less, don't forget a few pairs sunglasses. Before you go, you won't be able to see how much glare it will cause.


What should the shelf life of survival supplies be?

It's best to always have emergency supplies handy in order to be prepared for any eventuality. It is not a good idea to go without supplies in case of an emergency.

For camping trips, for instance, it is important to have everything in one backpack. This includes water, food, first aid kits and fire starters.

A flashlight, map and compass are all important. These items can help you stay safe, and will also help you locate your way back home if it happens.

You should keep these items in a waterproof container like a bag, box or bucket. Make sure they are easy to access and won't roll around inside your backpack while you're hiking.

When packing your supplies, think about what you'll use most often and how much space each item takes up. If you have room left over, consider adding extra items. You could, for example, add a stove to your shopping list if you intend on cooking outdoors a lot.

Make sure you know exactly where you put your supplies because if you lose track of them, you'll be very limited in what you can do once you reach civilization again.


What medical supplies should I stockpile?

In an emergency situation, ensure you have enough medicine for at least three months. This can be done by stocking up all types of medications including pain relievers and antibiotics. You might also consider storing food. If you don't have fresh food on hand, it will take you longer to prepare them.
