I grew up in a community that a strong independent outdoorsman preference. Many people liked to talk about their survival equipment. They stored food and did all the things it is popular to do now.

Therefore I like being prepared as well. I must admit that I often feel people have overdone it so I try to consider a balance in prepping. Last year I tried out some emergency food which I liked the taste of but made me feel sick. Currently, I have a small emergency bag in my car but it is inadequate.
NY state just like most others encourages citizens to have emergency supplies that can last 72 hours. I was here during Hurricane Sandy and I was embarrassed that I didn’t have this given my background. So for the last several years, I have looked for something that could do the job.
I finally found it. I do not get paid for this endorsement, but I think this is the best pack to survive 72 hours in an emergency situation. It can be adjusted for 1 or 4 people easily when you buy it. For 1 person it comes to $199 and for 2 $249. Reasonable price for what you get.
That may sound expensive to some of you but it is a necessary cost. No one knows the future, and no one can help you when they don’t have themselves. To me, this kit is cheap insurance for the future. I hope that I never have to use it.
It is called Superior Emergency Pack.
