I want to set a goal to get my 72 hours kits completed. I've stated but my struggle is with the food. Trying to find what works with our family and rotating is a pain for me.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for all your tips and ideas. Look forward to more FSF I'm sure after the holidays :)raising4boyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08589032602889740091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3765852042275177129.post-39841941001422715152008-12-08T06:36:00.000-08:002008-12-08T06:36:00.000-08:00Yipee for posting this!!

We then made an extra one for us to share with clothes, extra snacks, our emergency plan, family papers etc. It was so worth it because the MRE's last forever and everything came ready and I didn't have to gather stuff. Just an idea for you. Love that you are posting the info to motivate us all!Cara @ Gardenview Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07630176579046190072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3765852042275177129.post-69801071878310639192008-12-07T20:14:00.000-08:002008-12-07T20:14:00.000-08:00What a great idea for a group!!

This year I am insisting we buy one for Christmas.....trying to make JIm have the practice buy it as a tax write off. I totally think we could justify that.<BR/><BR/>What a timely post. Let me know if you get any more info about them. I heard from more than one friend in KY a few months ago when their power was out for a week that a generator was a MUST.<BR/><BR/>I'll have to e-mail you about my kids emergency backpacks we always keep in the car. We use and rotate something in one of them at least once a week. They have saved me SO many times.Marciehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06809015776900760395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3765852042275177129.post-73594100105032971632008-12-04T12:16:00.000-08:002008-12-04T12:16:00.000-08:00Sears!

That's how we buy a lot of things. We just charge everything to our Sears card and then pay it off each month then we use the bonus points to get Sears points.

We also planned that the generator would be great because we could also plug in the freezer and anything else if it were for an extended amount of time. Even if the power is out but we still have gas, we can still use our gas fireplace. We hope to get another fireplace for our basement some day, if we don't move.<BR/><BR/>I have our food 72 hour kits mostly put together. I still need to put together the clothes and stuff though. I was thinking oversized sweats would be good as well as safety pins. This way I wouldn't have to change out the clothes as often. we have separate backpacks purchased, but I haven't assembled them yet. We'll probably put the stuff of the kids who cannot carry them on their own into our bags. I do like the idea of a giant pack.Heather S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10776418445343819488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3765852042275177129.post-78932612763944800512008-12-04T03:10:00.000-08:002008-12-04T03:10:00.000-08:00What a fun way to to get prepared and an excuse to...What a fun way to to get prepared and an excuse to get together!

I like the heater idea. My parents asked for a portable generator for christmas from the 8 kids. It is so you can take it from room to room and plug in what you need. I think they run around 800 or so.
