72 Hour Kit

So the past few weeks I can't get the idea out of my mind that our family needs to have a 72 hour kit ready. I am not sure if it has to do with everything going on in the economy right now or what. So I decided that it was pretty important and I have been working on getting it done the last few days. I had quite a bit of stuff already on hand and made a trip to the store to pick up a few things and something to store everything in. I wasn't able to get everything into one container so we have one with food, one with clothing, and one for first aid. Plus a big garbage can with a lid on it for a bunch of other items that will be handy if we were ever to need the kit. I decided that if we had to pack up and leave it was necessary to have everything together to just grab and go.(Hopefully if that happens there will be time to grab my scrapbooks. They are pretty important to me) So now we will start the tradition of rotating and going thru the kit every 6 months at conference time. That will be a good reminder and a great family activity. Now if we can just get our years supply of food we will be all ready.
