72 Hour Kits

I am in no way an expert at 72 hour kits. We are beginners and here is where we started. A lot things are bought from Amazon and I tried to make sure they had good reviews. Hopefully this might give you a good starting place too! BASICS Adult Blue and Orange Backpacks Orange Child's Backpack Portable camping stove Flashlights Portable Cookware Fuel (Not Pictured but it fits IN the cookware) Rescue Whistles First Aid Kit Not Pictured: Weather Radio Water Purification Tablets Paracord/ Rope Waterproof matches Hand Wipes Eating Utensil Purchased from Walmart/ Academy: Head Lamps Rain Ponchos Mini bugspray OR Bug Wipes Work Gloves Emergency lightsticks Emergency Blankets FOOD The biggest thing when buying food is the date.
