Our Grand 72 hour kit Adventure

About 2 years ago we put together 72 hour emergency packs. The kids are really great about reminding me that we should rotate the contents thereof. I have had grand plans on the way to do this efficiently and excitingly. So instead we waited until nearly everything in them was past the "best if used by" date, and we went camping with the packs as our menu. The kids were also looking forward to seeing what clothes were in their kits.

Hazel was surprised to find a can of baby formula and assorted baby foods, which she was disappointed to not be able to eat. She did drink the baby juices.





Poor Kenneth was so tired that he fell asleep in the back of the van.

Here we are in the shade of the van sampling out fruit snacks, granola bars, beef jerky and crackers. I think that this little exercise taught me a lot about emergency preparedness. I will be modifying the contents of the packs in the future. And adding a tooth brush.
