Month 4 - 72 Hour Kit

We are on month 4 of building out 72 hour kit in one year! How is your kit coming along? This is a fun month for the kit.

I love the quote "It wasn't raining when Noah built the ark." Howard Ruff 

So what is going in our pack this month:

• Wipes -- baby wipes are not just good for wiping little bums. They make clean ups of almost anything easier. We are throwing a pack into our kid's back backs along with one in mine. You and your spouse probably do not need one in each of your packs, so determine whose pack to put it in. 

• Cash --That's right! We are putting in another month of cash into or packs. Check out Month 2 all about why cash is so important to have on hand during an emergency. We are putting $10 cash (small bills) into each family member's pack. Remember: if $10 is a little steep for you this month, just put in $5 cash. The point is we are building up our little cash stash for that rainy day(s). 

• Pocket/Utility Knife -- Put a pocket or a utility knife into your and your spouses pack. You never know if or when this will be handy in an emergency. Do not put these into your children's pack. I found a couple pocket knives in our house we were not using, but if you are needing to buy one--I gave this one to my husband for Christmas (check the link).  http://a.co/fLhKlsG

• Stress Relievers -- You need something to take your mind of what is going on. Especially children. Put in each of your packs something that will do just that. Some ideas include--a book, magazine, activity books, coloring, crayons, playing cards, etc.
