What goes in a survival kit?
Start with water. A filtration straw or gravity filter turns a river, a rain butt or a questionable tap into something drinkable, and weighs less than the bottled water it replaces. Add trauma care next — a proper kit with haemostatic dressings beats a box of plasters when someone is bleeding. Then light, a cutting tool, and respiratory protection if you live near a major road, port or industrial site. Water, blood, light, air, tools — every survival kit UK preppers build comes back to those five.
