How do you prepare for Nuclear, Biological, Chemical (NBC) warfare? What about an EMP attack? I personally believe that we get bogged down with some of these BIG TICKET items and don't spend enough time preparing for some of the basic survival needs. Statistically speaking we are much more likely to die from drowning in a flash flood than we are from NBC..., but you almost never hear a "survivalist" suggest that you keep a Personal Flotation Device (PFD) in your survival kit. Why not? 
The recent floods of Nashville and Arkansas show us that it doesn't take long to find yourself in a bad situation.
Carrying a PFD like the Stearns Inflata-Belt Lite
could be a valuable asset to your Survival Kit. It is light weight, easy to store, easy to wear and with a $70.00 price tag, realatively affordable. A PFD like this one gives the user the option to select when they would like the it to inflate, while other systems are water activated and automatically inflate upon contact. The "manual" system makes more sense for most survivalist because we may be exposed to the elements of nature and get our kit wet before we are in need of it. The Inflata-Belt uses a small CO2 cartridge that can be replaced... so you can "re-arm", re-pack and re-use the device.
I suppose we could all spend our time worrying about anthrax, dirty bombs and zombies OR we could spend some time thinking about the things that pose a real threat to us on a regular basis.
