"Gear" is one particular words under that you can lump plenty of different things. What is "gear" to 1 person will not be to some other person. However, generally, people have a standard understanding of what "gear" is particularly when it comes to survival gear. Survival items are basic in function and so 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 need to get.
1. Select items that you will need, not items that you want to have. Here you will have to exercise a little judgment and a little self-control. Do you really require a 8-person tent for just you and your wife?
2. Don't select an item that you already have unless that you have fails well or is broken and needs to be replaced. Another exception to the tip will be if the survival gear item has a feature that you need. Maybe you curently have a multi-tool however your multi-tool does not have an awl you know you will need and by investing in a different multi-tool that includes an awl, it is possible to fill that need.
3. Obtain at least 3 survival gear checklists, feel the lists, and do a couple of things. First, identify The Prepper Live that are mentioned on all the gear lists. This will help identify the survival gear items which you really need. Second, bearing in mind you and your family's own private needs, feel the lists and identify items which will help meet you and your family's personal needs. Again, not "wants" but "needs".
4. As a check, participate in a number of of the survival blog websites for some time and see what others are recommending with regards to survival gear, the pluses, and the shortcomings.
5. When you have identified and made a list of the survival gear that you need, take the time to read 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 must say about this particular product. What sort of product performs used may be entirely different from how it reads in print!
6. Quality is more important than price in selecting survival supplies! In preppers guide of a tragedy or crisis, you won't be able to run to the store to find a replacement for something that breaks or fails.
7. If you look at a particular piece absolutely "critical" for you as well as your family's survival, it could be wise to purchase at the very least two of them.
