Emergency! Do you have a winter survival kit?January 22nd, 2008Canadian winters are a thing of beauty. Striking snowflakes often fall gently from the sky and blanket our world into a wondrous landscape. But those gentle flakes can turn into a raging snowstorm very quickly, and can lead to dangerous situations like car accidents or power outages.
Winter HouseSmart Canadians know to be prepared for any eventuality in the winter and are usually well stocked with supplies to get them through any emergency. A winter survival kit is essential for safety purposes in our climate. A good kit should have items from each of these categories: Food and Water, Heat and Light, Shelter and Clothing and First Aid and Survival Items. Food and Water The Canadian government advises their constituents to have enough supplies for 72 hours. That means that you should have at least two litres of water per person per day, and don’t forget about any pets that you might have and make sure you have enough water for them as well. Along with the three day rule, make sure you have enough food to last a 72 hour duration. Food should be non-perishable and consist of dried foods, canned items and energy bars. If you’re more adventurous, it’s possible to buy freeze-dried, dehydrated instant meals, which might add a little variety to your menu. Don’t forget to put a manually operated can opener in your kit. It wouldn’t be funny if you couldn’t open your carefully set aside meals. |

It would be nice to have the option to print the articles in order to save them for future reference. An itemized list would work best ! Thanks
