This list helps guide individuals and families in preparing for a comfortable, safe, and pleasant camping trip. Many people have experiences in their lives at one time or another where this preparation can be at least reassuring and even lifesaving. This list can also help families to prepare for common crises requiring this equipment. Many families find they need to take advantage of this preparation during and after disasters such as fire, flood, hurricane, tornado, or earthquake. Other remote, but possible situations include civil disruption, interruption of the transportation system, hyperinflation, breakdown of the market economy, even war.
It is not expected that every family or individual have all these items. The cost of obtaining and maintaining everything on this list would be prohibitive for most people. Therefore, do what you can, when you can, to obtain what you feel is most important for your situation. Buying a few extra items each time you go to the store can help to steadily prepare.
Depending on the nature of your outing or situation, you may need items from several of the following lists.
