I had been wondering what to do about that. And the money in small bills is very important!<br /><br />Good luck to everyone working on their kits!Nurture Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08178840111130741827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3212448414617979473.post-31973664774436533142009-07-10T16:55:39.046-04:002009-07-10T16:55:39.046-04:00I've been anxious for this post!!

That's a lot of days to be living out of a backpack. Looks like I've got a lot of work to do. Thanks for the motivation.The Kay Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06619873316481871370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3212448414617979473.post-4559597440104744912009-07-10T07:15:10.931-04:002009-07-10T07:15:10.931-04:00I think I might just copy you!

Mostly, I just make sure there's plenty of warm clothes when I update for fall.Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16213204271141731147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3212448414617979473.post-85528813677158667302009-07-10T00:06:31.000-04:002009-07-10T00:06:31.000-04:00We switch ours every six months too, but we do it ...We switch ours every six months too, but we do it on Spring and Fall Solstice. <br /><br />Once you put extra clothes, personal items, food and water, it takes up a lot of room. <br /><br />All of our stuff is in about 3 bags. So I divided our items into each one. Each bag has some food, water, TP, cash, etc. That way, if we only have time to grab one, or if one gets lost or left behind, we still at least have a little of everything we need.<br /><br />It would be dreadful to lose the food bag, but have plenty of TP, you know? SO we don't put "all our eggs in one basket."<br /><br />Also, I go to the thrift store every 6 months and buy an outfit for my daughter that is 6 months ahead of her current size to put in our kit. That way, I don't care that she never wears it once it's outgrown. It was only $1.00!<br /><br />It's recommended to keep money. I've heard some say $100. We keep dollar bills in each bag. If there's a disaster, there will be scammers. If you need to trade with someone for a bottle of water, but you only have a 20 dollar bill, you'll be out the whole $20. Nobody will be offering change in a disaster.<br /><br />Wow, I didn't know I had so much to say about 72 hour kits!Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16213204271141731147noreply@blogger.com
