Years of bad leadership have left all our infrastructure (and especially the grid) barely able to keep up with demand on a good day...

And whether it’s a terrorist attack, sabotage, or foreign hackers…

The ‘killing blow’ for the power grid is coming. It’s not a matter of if… It’s a matter of when.

And even if that ‘doomsday’ scenario is still a long way off… Guess what?

In the meantime, you’ve still got hurricanes, earthquakes, wildfires, floods, extreme heat and cold, snow and ice, and all kinds of crazy weather to worry about.

And in our modern, always-on, always-connected world, even a short term power-outage can turn into a life-threatening crisis.

Just look at what happened in North Carolina after hurricane Helene…

Or during the freak winter storm in Texas a few years ago…

Or more recently in the Los Angeles Wildfires…

ALL the modern conveniences we rely on can be gone in an instant.

That’s why…

I have been using “Rite in the Rain” products for as long as I can remember. You should always have a note pad and something to write with in every kit, every pack or bag, and with you.

I think always having a pen and paper comes from my days in the military, being told “a good soldier always has something to write with and something to write on.”

“Rite in the Rain” products are especially useful because they are made to survive the wet nasty conditions that may be faced in a disaster situation.

This item is a recommendation, but there are many options to choose from.

About this item

WEATHERPROOF PAPER: 100 pages / 50 sheets per pocket notepad. All-Weather paper won’t turn to mush when wet and will repel water, sweat, grease, mud, and even survive the accidental laundry mishap. Make sure your pocket notebook stays RIGHT in the Rain.

WRITE IN THE RAIN: Use a standard pencil like a #2 Ticonderoga or an All-Weather Pen like a Fisher Space Pen and your notes will stay intact. Standard Ballpoint pens will work when paper is dry. Water-based inks will bead off Rite in the Rain paper sheets.

Once you get to the item, there are multiple options (pen does not have to be olive drab). I love the pens as much as do the paper. Once you shop around and see all the products Rite in the Rain produces, you will have a collection, too.

I think always having a pen and paper comes from my days in the military, being told “a good soldier always has something to write with and something to write on.”

The emergency sleeping bags I bought and put in the emergency kit I sent to college with my daughter are no longer available, but these are similar.

Mylar sleeping bags are an especially low-weight, low-bulk sleeping bags made of heat-reflective thin plastic sheeting. The material is used on the exterior surfaces of spacecraft for thermal control, as well as by people. Their design reduces the heat loss in a person's body, which would otherwise occur quickly due to thermal radiation, water evaporation, or convection. Their low weight and compact size before unfurling make them ideal when space or weight are at a premium.

These are great for multiple different kits you may be putting together. They are especially useful in vehicle winter kits. They take up little space and can several several uses.

Stand-and-Pee Convenience: Slick female urination device provides women with the freedom to urinate standing up, offering a hygienic and practical solution, especially during outdoor activities or at public restrooms.

This item is a great addition to a vehicle kit. As mentioned above this can be useful in situations other than survival situations.

Wool blankets are invaluable additions to winter survival kits due to their unique insulating properties and moisture management capabilities. Wool is a natural fiber known for its excellent thermal insulation, which helps retain body heat even in extremely cold conditions. This ability to trap air and create a warm microclimate makes wool blankets effective for preventing hypothermia and keeping individuals comfortable during unexpected winter emergencies. Additionally, wool has a natural crimp that adds bulk and enhances its insulating properties without being overly heavy or bulky, making it easy to pack in a survival kit.

Moreover, wool is inherently moisture-wicking, capable of absorbing up to 30% of its weight in moisture without feeling wet, which is crucial in winter survival situations where staying dry can mean the difference between safety and peril. If a person becomes damp from sweat or external conditions, a wool blanket can help regulate their body temperature and provide warmth without becoming saturated. Furthermore, wool has natural fire-resistant properties and is biodegradable, making it a sustainable choice for survival gear. Its durability ensures that wool blankets can withstand the rigors of outdoor conditions, offering long-term reliability for anyone venturing into wintery environments.
