There are many things that go into a well built survival kit. Some of the obvious things are none perishable foods, bottled water. For the reason of you will want to be able to eat and drink if things get to the point that food is hard to come by. I would at least try to get two or three months of food and water storage for my kit. It is better to have it and not need it that to need it and not have it.
Other things that you might want to include are toothpaste and tooth Brush. Along with other hygiene related objects. Deodorant dental floss, shaving cream, Razors, and mouth wash. You might even want to throw things like toilet paper in there as well. a small tools set, rubbing alcohol and a well stocked first aid kit would be a very good thing to add.
The reason it would be a good idea to have a small tool set with your survival kit is that if things get bad you might just have to work with what you already have. So this means fixing things instead of going out and getting new ones. A flash light and lots of batteries. It also would be good to have candles as another sources of light. at least one warm blanket for every one in you household and a AM FM radio.
Maybe some wool clothing. I say wool because wool will always stay warm even if it is very wet it still will insolate you. Some long john underwear and coats things to help keep you and your family warm, and keeping warm might be something that is very important if hard times come.
Those are things that most people would think of when making a survival kit. Here are some things that a lot of people would not think about but can be just is important if not more important. For starters some sort of hard currency. Gold or silver. paper money would be worthless if the economy has fallen. But gold and silver will always be worth something, so to have gold or silver would be a very good investment.
You should also have a few good knives in you kit as well. Knives are a great tool. They can be used for many things. Most importantly they can be used to defended all of the things that I have mentioned above. In hard times. If you have something that could prevent you for going hunger and being cold, others may try to take it. If it is up to there children starving or yours, they will let yours go hungry. these are the reasons why I would urge you to have a few good pocket knives in your kit, a gun and som ammunition might be a good idea as well if you can afford it.
