Keto Survival Kits: Planning to Thrive, not Survive

Emergencies are part of life, and something we should all be prepared for. Earthquakes, tornadoes, hurricanes flooding or disease pandemics can leave you in a dire situation if you do not have supplies. Waiting until an emergency happens to try and stock up on supplies can leave you in a vulnerable situation where you may end up a victim to price gauging or store stocks simply running out. Building good keto survival kits over time can be a lifesaver and help you economically as well when there is an emergency.

Of course you want to keep essentials handy like tools, water, first aid kits, shelter and weather gear, but food can be a challenging thing to prepare for if you are on a Keto diet. Most freeze dried meals or MRE’s are not Keto, and there are not many canned foods that are Keto either.

I’ve put together some products and links of items you can stock up on over time and build custom keto survival kits so that you can be ready to survive and thrive healthily through an emergency. You can make purchases over time, store in totes or other containers, and have a ready supply of food you can crack open when a situation calls for it. I even included links for emergency TP!
