GenXTalkin Whats In A Bag - GXT-EP03

Hello there again and welcome back to GenXTalkin...

In one of our recent shows we reviewed the several different types of bags one could build or buy to start the process of becoming more prepared. We thought we’d take some time in this episode to review some details of what goes into building a bag, and maybe even answer the question why.

Of course there could be a lot of bleed over between the several different types of kits, so lets consider some of the fundamentals. Within every kit, no matter the name or purpose, we should consider the survival rule of threes, and we’ll bring these up fairly regularly throughout the existence of this podcast.

• A person can survive 3 min without air
• 3 hours in a harsh environment, extreme hot or cold
• 3 days without water
• And 3 weeks without food

The reason we start from this framework is to establish a baseline of need for every situation no matter what it is.

Heres a few links. Just click on the items of interest:

Camelbak Water Bladder
Emergency Food Rations
Brita Water Filter
Berkey Water Filter

Would you be prepared? Are you prepared?

Choosing to be more prepared every day is a skill. One that should be honed. Focusing on growing just a little everyday will allow us all to be prepared to respond well and recover faster.

I’d love to hear your thoughts and comments about prepping, so please reach out and share as you can.

Until next time... this is monk signing off... better be prepared
