Flashlight. Flashlights would be a good idea to have. One battery powered in case of emergency of the other one failing and a solar powered flashlight. The solar powered one since not in use in the day, will be able to be charged and be available for use at night.

A mylar blanket also known as a space blanket, or emergency blanket is a blanket used in emergency situations to reduce heat loss in a person's body in five different ways:convection,conduction,thermal radiation, water evaporation,conduction, and respiration. Mylar blankets where first created by NASA to protect Skylab from the intense heat of the sun. The insulating material, a strong, plastic, vacuum-metallized film with a highly-efficient, infrared-reflective, vapor-deposited coating of aluminum, was created to be very lightweight in order to minimize weight impact on vehicle payload while also protecting spacecraft, equipment, and personnel from the extreme temperature fluctuations of space. There is one chemical that is radeily available and inxpensive. From cleaning wounds to protecting plans this chemical has numerous uses. Hydrogen peroxide also known as H202 is the peroxide. Hydrogen peroxide is made up of 2 hydrogen atom and 2 oxygen atoms. H2O2 is a strong oxidizer and considered as a highly reactive oxygen species. Its strong oxidizing propeties make it useful as a bleach or cleaning agent. Rubbing alcohol is a liquid prepared and used primarily for topical applications like cleaning wounds or to soothe, cool, or warm the skin. It is prepared from a special denatured alcohol solution and contains approximately 70 percent by volume of pure, concentrated ethanol (ethyl alcohol) or isopropyl alcohol (isopropanol). To prepare yourself for the worst possible situations, having emergency gear in the trunk of your car
may save your life. Whether you are traveling in warm weather or cold weather it is imperative that you include in each trip items necessary for an emergency. A bug-out-bag or BOB is a portable kit that contains a number of items needed to survive for a short amount of time, usually 72 hours, A BOBs main focus is evacuation distinguishing it from a survival kit, boating/aviation emergency kit or a fixed-site disaster supply kit. Other names for BOBs are 72 hour kit, a grab bag, or a GOOD bag (get out of dodge). The purpose of a BOB is to provide aid when one needs to evacuate. Since disasters are typically regional your BOB should be made specific to your area. |
