When I decided that I WAS going to get my kits done ASAP I decided that for me--the easiest (not cheapest) way was to get some starter kits from HERE and to add some extras on from HERE. You should be able to assemble them for around $50.00-$60.00 each this way (excluding the cash you want to have in each pack.)
Each pack contains:
- 3 day food supply (MRE's were my choice-- they are compact and have a 8-10 yr shelf life)
- Water
- Utensils
- Matches/ waterproof container
- Emergecny blanket
- Emergency sleeping bag
- Hand warmers
- Whistle/ compass
- First Aid Kit/ face masks
- Toilet Paper
- Toothbrush/ tooth paste
- Hand Sanitizer and/or soap
- 1 pair of thermals
- Poncho
- Towel
- Comb
- Candles
- Money
- (I am going to add some type of stress reliever for each kid too-- like some hard candies/ small toy and/or coloring books.)
There are a few items that we didn't need 5 of, so we divided them up among the packs:
- Tube Tents (2)
- Hand crank radios (2)
- Water purifier (very important because it is hard/impossible to pack enough water in a back pack!)
- Camp Stoves (2)
- Sewing kit
- Pocket knife
- Rope
- Work gloves (2)
- Sanitary napkins
- Survival booklet
It's hard to believe, but all of that does indeed fit into 5 back packs! (Although, Aleeya and Rowen are not going to be able to pack their own for a while!)
