Week 2 for 72 Hour Kits

This week for your 72 hour kit buy your water for your backpacks or whatever you are storing it in. There are a few different options for water.

1. Water bottles, they are easy and cheap to get for your backpacks but can be awkward to store in your kits. They are also very easy to rotate because you can always buy new ones easily at the store.

2. Water pouches, they are a little bit more expensive but can lay flat and you can easily store them in your packs. They have a 5 year shelf life as opposed to a 1 year shelf life so you don't need to rotate it as often however they are a little harder to drink out of unless you have a cup in your pack.







3. Water boxes. They are in the shape of a juice box and also have a 5 year shelf life but are also more expensive.



Also it is VERY IMPORTANT to have money in your packs for emergencies as well. We may not have debit cards or credit cards to be able to use due to electricity being out and things like that. They say to put low dollar amounts and coins in your packs so start with $1 bills. Through this weekly challenge store $1 in each person's pack every week until you have $100 and then start adding $5 and $10 bills to each pack. You never know if you will need to get gas or anything like that. So this week put $1 in each of your packs and continue on each week doing the same. If you don't have enough money then put what you can. Even if it's just a quarter.
