Comfort & Reference Items

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.

Portable Power

For most of us, having access to electrical power has become so second nature that we hardly give it a thought. It's so abundant to be almost free, and there are lots of places all around to plug in your cell phone when it runs out of juice.

But if the grid goes down for a long period of time, or you need to charge your devices on the move, then you need to consider sources of portable power if you are serious about prepping.
