72 hour kits

Just a reminder to get your 72 hour kits updated.  I used to be so good at this - doing it every 6 months in April and October.  I've had it on my to-do list for a long time. 

Today we worked on Z's Emergency Preparedness merit badge and went thru a Home & Safety Checklist as required and decided OK, it's time. 

We pulled out all the stuff and low and behold the food and clothes for the kids were 4 years old.  The beef jerky survived, the rest was trashed.  Sad.  We went shopping and got it all organized and now baby K has her own bag and I feel much safer and prepared.

Are you ready?  If so, what's your favorite gadget?  We just found hand-crank flashlight/radios!  No more batteries for us!
