Walmart Biohazard Kit!!!, page 1

i am haveing problems with some links. any chance of posting what it is equiped with? price?

actualy it is not a bad idea to have for any emergincy, (of course depending on what is in it). just like it is always a good idea to carry an emergincy auto kit. you never know what can happen.

just look at the major blackout a couple of years ago. (amusingly i was camping in an uneffected area at the time). while there was no major panic here people were not prepared. people bought power generators, but could not even get gas to use them. many found themselves in bad situations, like running out of gas far from home, not haveing food on hand, no candles, ( i am amazed that a lot of homes din't burn down from candle use lol), no way to cook (a cheap camping stove would have made lives a lot easyer with fuel).

i just watced the program on the super volcano in yellowstone park the other night. first thought that ocured to me is a simple dust mask would have made things much easyer than chokeing on that dust (5 for a couple of bucks). being prepared is the best way to surviveing.

i went to an outdoors camp when i was younger. now we oviously couldn't be instructed on how to perform stitches, but since i needed some at the camp hospital the doctor talked about just what he was doing and pointed out that in a pinch you could use fishing line. our canoue trips went way off into the wilderness, and the only way to save someone would be to patch them up as best as we could then send the fastest people out ahead of the rest of us. we all knew that WE were someones only chance of survival should the worst happen. we all took our first aid, campcraft and canoue skills verry seriously. if needed most of us were prepared to survive with very little, and what one person might lack others could make up for.

one year my sister's group went up to the barrens,(she was not there that year due to being engaged). they were 2 weeks overdue. they had a major search up and running, every airplane was out searching for them. now these were not kids but about 18-19 years old and very experianced. my parrents went to pick them up after they got found and got bussed to winipeg. so i heard the horrer story right from them.

what happened? wind. there being no trees there was nothing to cut the wind. i was told it sounded like a major rainstorm inside the tents, it was just the bugs being blown into them. they were stuck, they tried to continue on but were not able to make headway either by water or by walking. you must remember that trying to walk meant multiple trips as there is much gear like the canous that must be carried. they had to tie everything in place and weight it down. the wind lasted over a week and a half. whenever the wind died down they moved a bit farther. they managed to see the search planes but where not seen in turn.

they were finaly found after they had rationed out the last of the bacon grease. they had food dropped to them and were finaly able to get picked up. it was an ordeal that they will always remember. even though they were trained at survival it was still hard going. they were as prepared as was available at the time. (no sat phones no good lightweight raidioes, and aparently flares were useless in the wind).in all honesty if they didn't carry extra food and trained at survival they probably would not have made it. as it was aparently a couple ended up in a mental ward for awile. all they had was their training and perseverance. the moral: ALWAYS prepare as best you can, know what to do in an emergincy. then tough it out as best you can. you might be able to survive. there is never a definate to anything.

i think the boy scout motto says it well. BE PREPARED. you never know what can happen or when. haveing an emergincy kit can only increase you chances of survival. but do not forget only the knowing of how to survive will help in the end.
