Use the Potassium Iodide tablets to treat water that has been potentially contaminated with radiation. It works by saturating the thyroid with stable iodine so that radioactive iodine isotopes aren't needed and thus aren't absorbed by the body. Stocking a water filter is a fantastic way to remove the majority of common micro-organisms and chemicals.
Many of these pathogens cause dysentery, an illness you may associate with developing countries due to their lack of access to clean, safe water. It is recommended that each person has access to a minimum of one gallon or 4 liters of water per day.
This gives you 2 quarts for drinking and 2 quarts for sanitation and food preparation. Keep in mind that you will always need more water than you think, be it to clean dishes, reconstitute dried foods, maintaining good hygiene and of course, keeping hydrated. So it is important to have more than one method of producing safe, clean water.
Keep your energy levels up and hunger at bay with shelf-stable, long term survival food. The Mayday bars come in a single 2400 calorie serving with a pleasant apple cinnamon taste.

Your computer or phone may not work so it makes sense to pack away a basic portable radio. Consider one that does not need batteries to ensure it will work when you need it.
You may not be able to keep a campfire burning or it may not be safe to do so. Flashlights and other light sources will help you in the event that you lose power to your home, or you are stranded outdoors. Light sticks are particularly handy to keep in your bag or in your car as they can be activated at any time and greatly increase your chances of being found and rescued.
In an emergency or survival situation, you'll need a variety of tools to ensure your family's safety. Be sure to add a few of these to your Bug Out Bag!
