72 hour kits

Thanks to Beth for doing all kinds of research for us about 72 hour kits. Here is a great website to look at...

You will need to cut and paste it into the URL at the top of the screen. The kits we want to put together are about the size of a scrapbook paper (12X12).

As Beth was looking at some of the things in the bag that I opened and then comparing those items to what she researched she came up with a modified version. Below you will see the results of her efforts. Remember, these are just ideas and you can do what you want with your bag. The bags cost $1.25 each and then you need your supplies. By no means is the list below going to satisfy you completely, but it would be great to have as a basic kit!

Modified Version for all 3 days

3 packages of twin poptarts

6 protein bars

3-6 Granola bars

3 soups (Flat light weight) or Ramen noodles

3-6 small fruit snack packages

3 fruit cups

3 small raisin packages

Small bag of gum and candy

Grab separately 2 water bottles per person per day

If you want to make these, please let Shanon know as soon as possible. I can't return the bags, so I need firm orders in advance. If we don't have enough interest right now we can work on it over the next few months.
