Surviving the Outdoors

  Safety, Heat, Water, Food, Medical, Lights, Sanitation

   As a former EMT, I can tell you that most people are not prepared for any emergency, much less a medical one.  It may sound silly or exaggerated, to suggest a Red Cross first aid course, or advanced first aid course, (EVEN BETTER).  In the event of a national disaster all emergency agencies will be stretched to the breaking point.  If you invested a few hours of your time in Red Cross classes (these are given at convenient locations and times, at little or no cost nation wide).  How would you feel if you were able to save the life of a family member or a neighbor? PRICELESS!

     Along with water and food you should also have a well stocked emergency kit.
