72 hour kits

This past weekend we worked on our 72 hour kits. Twice a year we change food and Rx. Good thing because some of the stuff we put in was getting nasty! We use this:

as a guide, then I looked on-line to see what else others have suggested. I feel pretty good about them, the plan now is to save up and upgrade. Like our camp stove and fuel, and our sleeping bags to smaller/lighter ones. The packs are a tad heavy but there good to have. The girls have a little pack each with food and toys and a change of clothes and emergency blanket. They're pretty light.
Getting the packs ready is a bit pricey but we just collect a little at a time. Theres still a few things I want to get but ---theres just no room! We need to get a smaller sleeping bag first to make room. It feels good to be prepared for an emergency. Just in case.
