72 Hour Kits

This can be simple enough to do in less than a week. Do it soon.

A more complex list, at least give it a read, can be found in the side margin of the blog RUGetting Prepared, titled the Cadillac of72 hour kits.

Here's a basic outline. (Food suggestions to come at later date.)
  • Backpack for every two family members (always plan for individuals or at least buddy system for if separated :| )
  • Food (high protein calories preferred for less to carry = remember 72 Hours!)
  • Water + water treatment (filter and/or iodine/bleach/silver)
  • First Aid Kit (incl meds.)
  • Basic Survival (matches, can opener, think boy scouts)
  • Basic change of clothes
  • Important personal and family documents etc on jump drive (or equivalent quick grab; including important phone numbers, insurance companies)
Every kit will have it's weakness depending on the variety of use - fire, evacuation, etc -
But something (especially water) is better than nothing.
Do your Best + Prayer, and you'll be blessed.

Update this kit every General Conference or other pivotal date every 6 months.
