Including Clothes in a Survival Kit
Clothes are an important part of safety and survival kits, especially in cases where shelter may not be nearby or available. However, it can be tricky deciding what clothes need to be included in a kit. The easiest rule of thumb to go by is to pack for cold weather. It’s easier to just take clothing off if it’s warm than to be unprepared and lacking warm clothing should cold weather occur.
Clothes to include in your kit are jackets, shoes that are easy to walk in and waterproof, socks, gloves, jeans or other durable pants, and a long-sleeved shirt. The clothes are not only a good way to keep everyone warm, but can also replace clothes that have become wet or ripped. You may also want to include blankets or sleeping bags in your clothing kit to be extra safe.
