A personal survival kit is a great bit of important equipment that takes the normal emergency preparedness supplies and puts them together in a way that is especially designed towards your personal strengths and weaknesses to make it the most effective. While this might seem a little strange at first, upon further inspection, it makes a lot of sense.
The most important part of any survival pack is going to be the skills of the person using it. What appears like a mediocre or bare bones set of emergency supplies can be more than enough in the hands of an expert, while the best overall gear in the world might not be enough to help someone with no training at all. Because of this, tailoring a do it yourself survival kit to meet your own personal set of strengths and weaknesses is a very good idea that increases your chances of getting through an emergency safely.
Two main things should be considered when personalizing a kit: your strengths and your weaknesses. If you are really good at starting fires with a flint and steel, then obviously you want a flint and steel. Having a kit with tools that emphasize your strengths will help you in a survival situation, while other materials that cover your weaknesses should make up a portion of the kit, as well.
But before going too far, make sure that the personalized survival kit still covers the basics. Beyond strengths and weaknesses, it’s always important to have first aid materials and the ability to drink clean water. Keep this in mind, and you will end up with the ideal outdoor personal survival gear for your needs.
