DIY Post-Apocalypse Kits

This Graph Teaches People How to Make Homemade Survival Kits

— December 18, 2012 — Pop Culture
It's impossible to prevent a natural disaster and with the impending Mayan apocalypse, it is good to know that people can still make their own homemade survival kits to help them store food, have light and stay warm.

A simple DIY homemade survival kit can easily be made with simple items most households already have like duct tape, milk jugs, aluminum foil, toilet paper, coffee tins, large pots and plastic wrap. Unfortunately, if the end of the world does come on Friday, it may be too late to find a large enough storage space that's also safe enough from leering eyes and a rain of fire, though it's not too late to start building that secret stash anyway just in case. And if the apocalypse doesn't happen, these items can be used as a cheaper alternative to emergency camping tools as well.
Trend Themes
1. Homemade Survival Kits - Opportunity for businesses to provide DIY kits for consumers looking to prepare for natural disasters or emergencies.
2. Emergency Camping Tools - Potential for companies to create affordable alternatives to traditional camping tools that can also be used in emergency situations.
3. Prepper Culture - Disruptive innovation opportunities exist for businesses to cater to the growing market of individuals who are actively preparing for doomsday scenarios.
Industry Implications
1. Outdoor Equipment - Companies in the outdoor equipment industry can develop and market products specifically designed for DIY survival kits.
2. Emergency Preparedness - Opportunity for companies specializing in emergency preparedness to provide resources and guidance on creating homemade survival kits.
3. Camping and Adventure Tourism - Companies in the camping and adventure tourism industry can tap into the market of individuals looking for affordable camping tools that double as emergency gear.
