Happy New Year

It's 2012! This year is a great year to get going on your food storage or Emergency kits. I have been working on my 72-hr kits over the last few months. It's amazing what you come across as you shop when you keep your 72-hr kit needs in the back of your mind.

If you already have backpacks, tubs or buckets ready for your kits, start collecting!

There are many different lists for kits out there, from basic to what I consider overkill. Find one that fits your needs and print it out. Post it in an easy to see spot so it's consistently in the back of your mind. Next time you go shopping find one or two items to buy... and now you are on your way!

If you already have a complete 72-hr kit, think about a car kit. They are helpful in many situations. Even if it's as simple as a flashlight, a first aid kit and a blanket.
