72 Hour Emergency Kits..... Just In Case

As stated in my last post, I have been working on my food storage and emergency preparedness kits. I have been using www.foodstoragemadeeasy.net as a resource.
I have made my list and am picking up items for my food storage every time I go shopping. I am starting to work on my 72 hour emergency kit now. You should have one kit per person in your family and should include enough food to last for 72 hrs. Some examples are:
Tang
Instant Oatmeal
Granola Bars
Cocoa Mix
Canned stew or pasta with pop top
Fruit roll ups
Lipton Soup(envelopes)
Raisins
Beef Jerky
Plastic spoons
Matches
Of course you would tailor the contents to what your family likes. You can put these items into a box,bag or you can cut a milk jug top almost off,fold it back,fill with contents and then tape the container back to its original shape. This is easy,inexpensive and waterproof. You can keep the kit in your house or car. You may want to have a car kit as well. Some ideas for that lit would be: jumper cables,food bars,first aid kit,radio,batteries,water etc.
Of course I may never use these items in an emergency situation but it is better to have them just in case. The food items in your storage will be rotated so they will not go to waste. It gives a sense of peace knowing that I am preparing these kits now in the event that I may need them later.
Keep the Faith,
