72 hr kits

I found and easy way to make a 72 hr kit. I called a grocery store's bakery department & asked them to save small (half size of a pickle bucket) frosting buckets (with lids) for me. After a few days I picked these up from the store brought them home(for free) and washed them out with dish soap & hot water. Let dry completely.

Then with black sharpie I wrote names on each bucket, one for each member of my family. Then I filled each of them with: 4 bottles of water, 1 can of soup (pull top can), 1 small pack of gum, snack baggies of raisins, snack baggie of nuts, fruit cup, fruit snacks, 2 instant packs of oatmeal in a baggie, 2 empty gallon zip lock bags, 1 large black trash bag (can be used as a poncho),small notepad & pen (used for drawing, writing or messages), tooth brush, 3 bandaids, 2 granola bars

Adult bucket only: small bottle of advil, snack baggie of matches, small scissors, comb,floss, small toothpaste.

I want to change and add things as I look on more emergency preparedness websites. But those will come with time. Also each member of our family has a backpack filled with 2 sets of clothes, a flashlight, & more.

So have fun & be creative!
