When you aren’t sure where to start, this is a good place.
72-hour preparedness focuses on immediate survival during short-term emergencies such as natural disasters, power outages, or evacuations. It typically includes essential supplies like water, non-perishable food, a first aid kit, and basic tools, all designed to sustain you for three days.
In contrast, long-term preparedness involves planning for extended crises such as economic collapse, pandemics, or societal disruptions. This requires a more comprehensive approach, including a larger food and water supply, advanced medical supplies, self-defense tools, and sustainable living resources like gardening and livestock.
While 72-hour kits are about immediate survival, long-term preparedness ensures continued self-sufficiency and resilience.
