A European Union (EU) recommended all citizens of the same Survival kit 72 hours For use in case of emergency crisis. The news caused excitement, as it is logical, although the trade union insists that this is nothing more than a measure that is part of it Prevention planNot for a specific and inevitable situation. Leaving aside how realistic the idea is that we need this kit, it is worth asking what it should include.
From the EU, they indicated that at wide moves, the set of survival should include water, good food, medicines, hygiene products, the first electronic devices, such as flashlights and supplies for them, such as batteries and money in metal and important documents such as DNI. Taking this into account, some questions may arise. How much water is needed? What are the best unprofitable products? What medicines should be part of the kit?
As for the latter, the EU did not publish an official listThey note the field that they did not do this, or they will be, because it is the competence of the member states. However, they ask to take into account the needs Vulnerable groups of the population. As for water, they indicated that the ideal would be 5 liters per personAlthough there are some problems that should be indicated. And with food that comes to mind BanksBut the Spanish expert has already warned that these are not the best ideas for the survival kit.
Keep in mind that water is not just for drinking
The water of the set for survival will be directed both at the drink and at personal hygiene. A University of TulanIn New Orleans, he published an article with the most important items that should be included in the survival set. As for water, it was noted that the ideal will be Gallon of water for man and day. Gallon is equivalent to approximately 3.8 liters, so they will be nearby 11.5 liters of water for 72 hours for each person.
What medications should not be in the survival set?
Logically, people with chronic diseases and prescribed drugs They must stock up on these drugs for their survival kit. Now, what prescription drugs should always be present?
In accordance with what we mean, we will see one or others. But, on broad shots, it is usually recommended to enable Anti -inflation, analgesics, antipiotics, antacids, antihistamines and antidiarrieThe field of some examples in Spain without a recipe would be ibuprofen less than 600 mg, paracetamol, Almax, products with Ebastina and Fortase. In any case, it would always be advisable to consult with our chief doctor about drugs, which can be more useful.
Banks are not as good as you think for a survival set
In 2019, expert pharmaceuticals in the field of biotechnology and food security Canyo Jamma He loved SimpsonsThe field was expected by a pandemic, which was a few months after arrival, and told us How to develop a set for survivalHe did not talk not about viruses, but meteorites and did not refer to toilet paper, because it was unpredictable for everyone. Nevertheless, he spoke about the reasons why it is not a very good idea, to include banks in this type of set.
It is true that the products that are preserved in the bank It lasts a lot of timeThe field, however, has enough inconvenience. Firstly, they take up a lot of space. This is because the banks are round for reasons that benefit the industry. Del Canyo has, for example, that they are easier to produce and mark. It is much easier to print the jar directly as it is removed than to turn it to add labels on all its faces. The fact that they also prevent them from shocking between them in the production chain and can damage the machines. Even They better suffer pressure And less material is necessary for placing the same product volume as in a square or rectangular container.
Nevertheless, the complexity of their preservation is not the only problem of cans. They can also cancel either the pier, and if this happens, their content is easily contaminated. Botulism is a bacterial disease caused by consumption of canned food in poor condition. Any peak in tin material will penetrate into the air inside and give pathogenic bacteria A The perfect atmosphere for reproduction.
So what is the best option for a survival set?
Despite all this, the recommendation of an expert on a set of survival is Liophilized foodAstronauts or the military are already using it for several reasons. Firstly, this is that, unlike cans, it takes up very little space. But the second is much safer. To cook it, the food is dried and dusty. Removing all the water, microorganisms can no longer proliferate. In addition, all nutritional properties of nutrition are preserved. This is very important if the survival set is on a long stay. It is logical, the amount of water should be adjusted to replay this food, but it is still worth it, especially if stay It will not be excessively long.
Do not forget pets
Although this is not indicated in the senior principles of the EU, obviously, we should not forget about food and water supply for our pets. Best dry food than wet. I think that if we are going to concentrate it a lot of time is a good option. And water, depending on the weight of the animal. For dogs, it is recommended from 30 to 100 ml per kilogram and for, while for cats they are recommended from 40 to 70 ml per kilogram.
Nevertheless, should a panic spread?
We live in a rather unpredictable world and, unfortunately, those who send, those who should take care of us sometimes prefer to see the burning world. We may need it. Regardless of whether you remember this: it is better not to choose canned food.
