Has Your Emergency Kit Expired? Replacement Kits are the Easy and Inexpensive Solution

Remember the emergency kit you bought years ago?  Perhaps long enough ago that you aren't sure exactly what year you did buy it in?  Is it possible that it has been four or five years or more since you bought it?  Have you looked through it since?  If you had to use it today, would all of the supplies still be within their use by dates?  Would all of the supplies function fully?

Every emergency kit expires.  Actually the whole kit doesn't expire, just some of the supplies within the kit.  In fact many items in your emergency kit have an indefinite shelf life.  This means that these items will essentially last forever.  Other items do expire and need to be replaced on a regular basis (every few years).

Purchasing a replacement kit will allow you to replace expired items while leaving the other items in place. This is a less expensive way to make sure you have an emergency kit that is up to date than just replacing the whole kit every few years.

Here a list of common items that are found in most emergency kits with their typical expirations:

Light sticks - 5 years (older versions used to be only 4 years)

 

Emergency water - (the kind in packets approved by the U.S. Coast Guard) - 5 years

Emergency Food - (again the U.S. Coast Guard approved type) - 5 years

 

 

 

 

Batteries- most now at least 7 years

 

First aid - some components are up to 2 years while others are indefinite
