Survival Fanny Packs

Emergency fanny packs usually only contain the bare necessities for short-term survival, and are favored by people who have received training to be neighborhood first responders. The hands-free carrying option of the fanny pack enables first responders to use both hands in assisting those who are victims of the current emergency.

Note: If you're an employer looking for great employee gifts, give the survival fanny pack. You'll be a true hero for thinking of the welfare of your people!

Containing the basic necessities for one person for up to 48 hours, emergency fanny packs are lightweight and unobtrusive, perfect for tucking into a desk drawer in the office, or keeping in the trunk or glove compartment of the car. With the widespread awareness of how vulnerable people are to natural and man-made disasters, the disaster fanny pack has become a popular corporate gift.
