How to Divide Your Survival Gear Among Loved Ones?

We talk a lot about self-sufficiency. Which we know is very important. We can’t depend on the government to help us when a disaster strikes.

But “self” is only part of self-sufficiency. There are other people to consider. Including spouses and significant others. Adult children and grandchildren. Other family members and friends. Maybe even neighbors and co-workers.

Whether you live alone, have a large household, or somewhere in between, self-reliance means having a large stockpile of survival gear. Including multiples of certain supplies.

That way, when you and your loved ones find yourselves in a crisis, you don’t have to share certain items. Such as survival food, power banks, and tactical flashlights.

Too much is better than too little

So, how much survival gear is enough and how much is too much? That depends on the number of people you want to help survive in an emergency.

The important thing is not to be caught with too few survival items. Because the lack of equipment will spell doom during a serious event. And there are more than enough serious events going on in our world these days.

For the purpose of this communication, let’s say you want to be able to provide enough survival gear for four people in an emergency situation. Including yourself. 

Once you’ve gathered everything you believe you’ll need for four people to survive just about any disaster the next step is determining how to divvy up those supplies among them.

Today I’m going to show you how to do just that. I’ll use our Patriot Platinum Survival Package as an example, but you can apply these same principles to whatever supplies you have.

Shared Supplies

First, let’s get a few of the bigger items out of the way that will probably have to be shared in most cases.

Patriot Power Generator 2000X: Centralize this generator for the family to power the big stuff. You can daisy chain your 100-Watt Solar Panels for more power. 

Patriot Power Sidekick & 40-Watt Solar Panel: Use this for the smaller stuff like lights, laptops, and cellphones. 

Solar Radio: This is not a large item, but it’s powerful and can meet the information needs of the whole family. Keep it in a place that’s easy for all to access. 

Water Filtration: Keep your Ultimate Water Filtration System nearby for cleaner, better-tasting water. It can hold up to 2 gallons of water at a time and be used again and again. Plus, you’ll get an extra replacement filter. 

Freedom Fridge: This cooler/warmer combo can be used to keep food (or medicine) safe for the whole family. 

Personal Supplies

6+ Weeks of Survival Food: You get (2) 3-Month Survival Food Kits in your Patriot Platinum Survival Kit. That means in a family of 4, each person gets about 6 weeks of delicious food. But that’s not even including all the extras like the 5 NEW Speciality Survival Food Kits. You can divide this robust stockpile of food a number of ways to feed your family for an extended period of time. 

Power Cell CXs (4): Distribute one to each family member to charge personal devices like phones or flashlights.

HaloXT Flashlights (4): Each family member gets one flashlight to ensure everyone has a portable light source AND an emergency multi-tool. 

Water Storage: Give each person a 5-gallon water storage tote for personal use. Or you could choose to add these to your shared supplies. 

Personal Water Filtration: The Platinum Survival Package comes with 4 Personal Water Filters so each person can have safer, cleaner water on-the-go. 

As you can see, it’s worthwhile to invest in a large stockpile of preparedness products and survival food. Many items can be shared with loved ones while others are better suited for personal use. 

During our Labor Day Event, you can get all the items listed above (and more) when you purchase a NEW & Improved Patriot Platinum Survival Package. Divide this done-for-you package among your loved ones or simply stay well-stocked for anything. 

You can’t choose when a crisis strikes but you can choose to be prepared when it does.

Your survival food is designed to last 25 years on the shelf. Storage conditions impact the shelf life of your food. For best results, always protect your food from heat, air and moisture. Avoid prolonged exposure to temps above 75 °F. Keep food sealed until ready to eat. Shelf life will vary based on storage conditions.
