Pre-made survival kits are an option if you have a tight budget. These kits contain essentials such as water bottles, food, and basic first aid. However, they don't have the complete coverage you will need and won't give you the high-quality gear you require in an actual emergency.
Versatile
A versatile way to prepare yourself for emergency situations is DIY survival gear. Apart from traditional survival gear such a fire, you can also make your own survival gear with materials found in your home. This includes plastic bags, tape and other easy-to-find or make materials. Plastic bags are great for waterproofing sleeping areas and can also serve as a poncho. They can also be easily stuffed into a bag or pocket because they are lightweight.
Survival gear is often inexpensive or even free, and can have multiple purposes. Multifunctional DIY survival kits include everything you need, from a Swiss Army Knife, to a UST StarFlash Signal Mirror that can beam sunlight up to ten miles away. It is vital to have a multi-purpose kit in case of emergency.

How To
How to hunt wild Ducks
Decoys are the most popular way to hunt wild ducks. You can use decoy birds that are live and place them at a distance from the blind to allow you to see them clearly from far away. Avoid hunting in windy conditions as birds will quickly flee. A few hunters might be too much for some birds.
You should know the number of wild ducks you are hunting. It is best to know which kind of bird you are hunting before you shoot. You must ensure you have enough ammunition so you can take down as many birds or not.
If you do end up killing a lot of birds, you'll want to clean and prepare the meat before eating. It is best to immediately cook the meat, as it can dry quickly once you begin cooking it. Once the meat is cooked remove all bones and feathers.
Wild ducks are usually found near water but can also be seen flying through fields, woods and swamps. They fly low to the ground which makes them easier targets. If you're hunting wild ducks, it is important to remain hidden until you are close enough that you can make a shot. You should be quiet and patient while you wait for the chance to shoot.
