Welcome to the forum.<br><br>First you need to determine what kind of disaster you want to prepare for and where you think you will be when that happens.<br><br>A PSK, Pocket Survival Kit, is a small kit you carry on your person all/most of the time. The most favored container at this time is an Altoids tin. These typically only have the most essential of supplies. <br><br>Up from that, people have camera bags, briefcases, fanny packs, daypacks, totes, etc sized kits that they carry with them. The drawback is due to their size, they tend to get left behind. The advantages include because they are larger, you have more suppiles.<br><br>There are BOB, Bug Out Bags. Usually a daypack or backpack with enough supplies to keep a person alive and relatively comfortable for 72 hours or more.<br><br>There are home kits. These can grow to fill a basement.<br><br>Cover the big 6 areas first: Knife, Water, Fire, Shelter, First Aid, Signaling. There are lots of options for each of these depending on how deep your wallet, the size of your container, durability, redundancy, and other factors. Suggest you review the Equipped to Survive website that hosts this forum for some great ideas and gear reveiws.<br><br>Typically this forum is focused more on basic survival skills and the first two sized kits. There are other forums that discuss the larger kits and extended preparations. You might want to use a search engine to look for DISASTER PREPAREDNESS. I have found http://ubb.plainsmanscabin.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi to be a great forum for discussing these topics. http://www.frugalsquirrels.com/cgi-bin/ubb/ultimatebb.cgi is another forum with a more militaristic slant. http://www.mrssurvival.com/cgi-bin/ubb/Ultimate.cgi has a larger female population of posters and their posts reflect their sensabilites.<br><br>Your question is akin to "I need to buy a vehicle, tell me which one is best." It will depend on your lifestyle and what you want your vehicle to do for you.
