Kits

A 72hr. kit includes much more than just food. It includes bedding, fuel, personal supplies, medicines, and other items. Your 72 hr. kit should be updated every 6 months. A good way to remember this is to do it with every General Conference. Everyone can switch out summer for winter clothes and eat their food. You could even set up the tent and check for wear and tear. Small children should also have an Activity Survival Kits so they will have things to do and comfort items.

You could also make school or office supply kit:

• 1 Light Stick, safe no spark or flame. -No batteries required.
