When SHTF, do you have enough food and supplies to keep your family comfortable? If the answer is “no,” check out the lists below and start preparing the items that you still need. Don’t wait until it’s too late before you stock up your pantry and pack bug-out bags for your loved ones. (h/t to FoodStorageMoms.com)
The list below includes various items that you may need before the next survival scenario comes your way. If you have these supplies you can survive for several days during or after the disaster, depending on the amount of water and food that you have stored.

If you need to stay within a budget for your daily needs, start with clean water and survival food. Buys several cans of food at a time so you can gradually add to your emergency stash.
Unlike a BOB, Everyday Carry (EDC) kits are more inconspicuous. These small kits usually include items that you may find useful during small emergencies like repairing clothing or equipment.
Sponsored solution from the Health Ranger Store: Lab-verified Nascent Iodine solution is a dietary supplement that provides your body with supplemental iodine to help protect your thyroid during radiation exposure. Nuclear accidents such as Fukushima (or nuclear war) can expose your body to radioactive iodine-131, a dangerous radioisotope. Pre-loading your system with stable iodine occupies the iodine receptor sites on your organs, causing your body to naturally expel radioactive iodine you may have been exposed to through air, food, water or milk products. This defensive strategy is recommended by nearly all health authorities, worldwide, including the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Discover more at this link.
Always bring your EDC kit wherever you go. If you’re unsure what to include in your EDC kit, start with the items in this list.
The list above may change, especially if you’re preparing an EDC kit for your car or bicycle. Below are other items that you can include in your EDC kit.
This final list includes various items that you may need to complement your BOB, EDC kit, or survival stockpile at home.
