The most important determinant for survival in stressful environments is a persons mental state.

A Positive Mental Attitude (PMA) can overcome the harshest of obstacles.

Most survivalist teachers consider it more important than even water and food, and when you deeply examine the impact it has on your survival chances you quickly understand why.

This is an especially critical consideration if you have to keep children entertained and distracted during an extended period away from their homes.

It's probably pretty apparent that you should carry a medical kit in your Get Home Bag, and Bug Out Bag to care for the most common sorts of injuries: cuts, insect bites, sunburn, nausea, allergies, headaches, and especially blister treatment and prevention supplies.

If an emergency forces you and your family to leave your home for a while, you may need some important documents like passports, insurance paperwork, social security and birth certificates, home title, recent bank statements, cash, and more.

You can keep these items in a safe and make sure they are part of your grab in the case of a bug out.
