BE PREPARED!!! 72 hour kit
"...when we really get into hard times, where food is scarce or there is none at all, and so with clothing and shelter, money may be no good for there may be nothing to buy, and you cannot eat money, you cannot get enough of it together to burn to keep you warm, and you cannot wear it." (President J. Reuben Clark, Jr. - Church News, November 21, 1953, p.4.) At my church the women's group called Relief Society has monthly activities. This months activity was 7 weeks to a 72 hour kit. Luckily, I lived in Utah for a couple of years and you can find emergency supply stores easily. Scott and I decided to follow the Prophet and Apostles (leaders of our church) advice and COMMANDMENT to have a 72 hour kit for each person. A bag that you can grab and go out the door if an emergency arises. So Scott and I spent a Saturday gathering up supplies and making our kits. Granted we probably have more than what you would NEED in 72 hours but I like being over prepared rather tha
