[Disaster Prevention] Disaster prevention items to keep in your suitcase when traveling

You never know when a disaster will happen, and there is a good chance it will happen anywhere you're traveling, so it's important to be prepared in advance so that you'll be prepared in case something happens. This time, we will introduce three disaster prevention items that you should keep in your suitcase.

towel/handkerchief

Do you think that towels are too common, or that you don't need them because you can just use something like a T-shirt instead? Towels are extremely important in times of disaster, as they absorb moisture well and protect your body and valuables. Be sure to prepare something that is as absorbent as possible.

What's more, if you buy a quick-drying towel, it will dry quickly, so you can rely on it no matter the season, weather, or situation. Some may say that an absorbent handkerchief would be fine, but there is a limit to the amount of water that can be wiped away with a small handkerchief.

We also recommend towels that come in pouches or bags for compact storage. You won't have to take them out of storage unless you're using them, so don't worry if you're not good at folding towels, and be sure to keep a towel in a corner of your suitcase that you can rely on in various situations, including water accidents.

Toiletries/portable toilet

Hygiene is extremely important even in times of disaster. It is absolutely necessary to avoid falling ill in an unfamiliar place or region where you cannot receive a satisfactory medical system.

Even if it's not such an exaggerated thing, taking good care of yourself can help prevent depression and help you stay cheerful and positive.

For times when water is not readily available, there are products such as disposable face sheets and toothpaste sheets that do not use water, so if you are interested, please check them out.

Portable toilets are also very important in terms of hygiene. Most of these are also waterless types that don't require water, so you can use them at any time as long as you have them on hand. Both toiletries and portable toilets can be folded compactly and stored in a gap in your suitcase, so be sure to pack them in your suitcase.

portable water purifier

Water is the lifeline of humans at all times. Therefore, even if there is a disaster, the supply will often be resumed in some form or another, so if you are traveling domestically, you may not need to worry too much. However, be careful when going overseas or to areas where water is not readily available, such as remote islands. In some cases, you may not be able to get drinking water and your life may be in danger.

In such cases, a portable water purifier comes in handy. It depends on the product, but basically it's a useful product that makes water drinkable even if it's a little dirty.For example, if there's a river nearby or you collect rainwater in a bucket, you can use that water. This is a useful product that can filter water and quickly turn it into drinking water.

Ordinary water purifiers may give the impression of being large, but those that are labeled as portable are generally very small, and there are many products on the market that are smaller than a water bottle. Some plastic items are very light, weighing less than 100g, so you can store them at the bottom of your suitcase, at the edge of your suitcase, or in the back of your pocket without adding any bulk.

By having one, you can reduce the need to carry around heavy water, so be sure to prepare a portable water purifier and aim to feel safe even in an emergency.

disaster prevention sheet

When you have no place to sleep or rest, or have to sleep outside, your biggest enemy is the cold, especially at night. You need to protect yourself in some way, but there are limits to how many layers you can wear, and if you are traveling in the summer and are wearing light clothing, you may not have much to wear.

What comes in handy here is a disaster prevention sheet that shuts out heat transfer and protects the body.It is a conspicuous silver sheet, so you may have seen it somewhere.

Among disaster prevention goods, it is an old-fashioned item that can be said to be one of the classics and one of the oldest, but as it has survived to the present day, its ability is proven, and it can be said that it is always included in overseas disaster prevention goods sets. It is a reliable presence that is available.

You can create a variety of uses by cutting and processing the sheet, but basically, just wrapping it around your body is enough, it's simple and easy, and it simply provides more warmth than warmers. You can take it.

The main point of this seat is its compactness. They are much smaller than leisure sheets, and some are even more compact than a single B5 notebook, making them convenient items that don't take up much space as they can be inserted into gaps in suitcases.

A safe journey begins with preparation.

What did you think. Traveling is not always safe, so it is very important to prepare yourself in advance. There are many things you should have as disaster prevention goods, but this time we have introduced goods that can be useful even in times of disaster. Don't forget to pack emergency supplies when preparing for your upcoming trip.
