People almost always panic when an emergency arises – especially when it comes to natural disasters. Planning for natural disasters means planning ahead before the need arises.
NOW is the time to get the items you need in order for your family to survive whatever may come (whether it’s a natural disaster or a man made crisis). Getting all of your “gear” together can be easy if you follow our suggestions below.
Shop Online
Regardless of where you live, as long as you have an internet connection, you can find the best quality gear at the best prices online. You can get free shipping and a better selection of gear – including gear suited for babies and toddlers that may not be available locally.
Many online shopping sites have pages and pages of gear that you can easily scroll through to find exactly what you’re looking for. Whether it’s food, shelter or protection, you can search for which gear is the best as far as pricing and durability.
It’s easier to shop online for survival gear because everything you need on your list is available and often at one place.
Create a Master List
There are quite a few item that you need to complete your survival gear and each family will be a bit different. Creating a list of what you need will help keep you organized. If budgeting is a problem, many online stores have a way that their customers can put the item on a to-buy-later or a wish list.
If you don’t yet have a Master List, request my free eBook “Survival Essentials for any Emergency” and you will also receive a Emergency Kit Checklist to help get you started.
Read Customer Reviews
You can find product reviews from customers who have purchased these items, questions and answers and then you can compare it to similar products that are about the same price.
When a product is purchased, many sites will allow customers to rate that item and leave feedback. The higher the star rating, the higher the customer satisfaction.
People will tell you what they like and don’t like about the item you’re thinking of buying and you’ll also see reviews to see if the item was as durable as the manufacturer said it was.
This can help prevent you from wasting your hard-earned money on products that are more hype than quality. It’s a great way that the online community looks out for one another.
