72 Hour Kits:

72 Hour Kits Since 72 hour kits are a big part of Mormon culture, I’m curious what kinds of foods you keep in yours. We’re rotating and checking our supplies on Saturday and could use some suggestions. 72 hour kids aren’t Mormon doctrine or anything. But, they’re encouraged since they help us be prepared and to rely on ourselves. But, they are a big part of Mormon culture (things that most of them do even though it isn’t part of the religion), so I thought this would be a good place to ask. Besides, there’s no “preparedness” category.

Slide 2:

A 72-hour kit should have EVERYTHING you need to survive for 3 days (including food, water, clothes, blankets, shelter, light, radio, entertainment, etc.) without any help from anyone. Personally, I have MRE’s in mine. They taste better and I don’t have to keep so much water. I also switch out my clothes with each season. I make sure they fit and that they are in good repair.

Slide 3:

I’m a single mom of 2 kids at home (ages 16 & 7). I’m trying real hard to prepare for emergencies but I have become overwhelmed in all the information. How many kits do I need? A car kit, a 72 hour kit for each person, a 3 day evacuation kit for the family, 2 weeks supply of food & water for pandemics, and on & on & on… Please help! I have started by trying to narrow down the ‘emergencies’ that we might expect where I live. I guess where I went crazy is with the idea that we need kits for each person (3) and a kit for the family

Slide 4:

our familly has this kinda of trash can like barrel full of canned foods and pastas, like things that last for a long time. water bottles. dog food. dog collars and leesh . we have a first aid kit.sleeping bag a few blankets. a can opener. this was optiontional but we decided to put 2 prepaid cell phones in with their chargers. i guess it depends on were you live.

Slide 5:

like down here in CA we have earthquakes especially were we live. and when like wild fire season comes along we make sure we have acsess to our camper/ rv thing in case we have to evacuate. why do you carry many kits when you can narrow it down to one
