Let's Build a Survival Kit(Part 9) - CARRYING WATER

We’re going to have some fun designing and building a survival kit together and we are well on our way. Here is Part 9 in the series where each week we will vote on a new item(s) to add to the kit and see the results from the previous week.

Back when I first got involved in preparedness there were lots of discussions about “survival kits.” Nowadays, there are INCH bags, Bug Out bags, Get Home bags, and many more. I may be a bit old school but I’m going back to my roots and survival kit it is.

Here’s the bag we started with: The Paratus 3-Day Operator’s Pack. The Paratus is a popular pack and often considered the “Prepper’s Backpack” as it is high quality, rugged, extremely versatile, and budget-friendly. Cost is phenomenal at well under $100.

Here’s what we’re going to do. Every week(or so) I’ll post a category of products along with several choices to choose from. Everyone will vote on which items to put in the bag. When the voting is over I’ll buy the selected item and add it to the bag. With each new week, I’ll update what we’ve put in the bag until the kit is completed.

LAST INSTALLMENT: Last we looked at added some common supplies, including:

Wet Wipes
toilet paper
hand sanitizer
toothbrush and toothpaste
hand towel, small
Mechanix Wear Durahide FastFit Gloves/gloves
Map of area
Firestarting Kit: Bic lighters, matches, cotton balls & vaseline, charcloth, ferro rod
Camping Spork

These are fairly universal additions so not voting on them.

THIS WEEK: We’ve got the bag, a water filter, a knife, a bit of food, some first aid supplies, a flashlight, a cookstove, an ax, cook set, and a tent, and various supplies – – Let’s take a look at how we can carry water.
