72 hour kit!

I am taking a Natural Disasters class is semester and as one of the assignments I had to make a list of what I would put into a 72 hour kit. Well, once I get a bee in my bonnet I sometimes can’t let go. (Just ask my hubby all the things I have him do on short notice.) So I of course go to my favoritest web site, pinterest and start looking up 72 hour kits. I found one that I really liked here. She put her kits into milk jugs so they would be easy to grab and go, leaving room in the backpacks for the clothes and blankets and other fun things. I used my own list of food though. I put things in it that my family would actually eat!!

1. Day one:
1. Breakfast: mini box of cereal (since no one eats it with milk this works!)
2. Lunch: cup of soup
3. Dinner: Chef Boyardee mini ravioli
4. Snack: cookiea

2.     Day two:

1.     Breakfast: 2 granola bars

2.     Lunch: fruit strip and pudding cup

3.     Dinner: ramen noodles

4.     Snacks: crackers and cheese

3.     Day three:

1.     Breakfast: cookies and raisins

2.     Lunch: Lipton chicken noodle packet

3.     Dinner: ramen noodles

4.     Snacks: fruit roll ups

5.     Hot cocoa

We cut the clean milk jug as per the instructions and instead of printing off the list I just wrote them on. Saves paper, just not my wrist. It took about 30 minutes to do this and only minor fighting about eating the fruit snacks now. Robert wants to try living off of what is in the jugs, but I told him next March when we will exchange it out. We plan on doing it over conference next Spring and then next Fall. I might wait on the fall one till after Halloween so we can put all those hard candies in it.
