It really brightens the whole thing up!.
I mean there are about a million things that you.put there, right?.
At least once a year though, I find myself in a situation where I do wish I had a kit all ready to go.We don’t usually get the kind of horrific storms and natural disasters around here that end up on the evening news, but we do get them predicted for us a lot and you never know when “the big one’s” really going to hit, do you?Most often, the worst that happens is that we lose power for a few hours and we get a few big branches down in the yard, but even then, having a few supplies nearby would be really handy and comforting too..
So what I’ve done is I’ve put together a really simple, straightforward kind of list that you can use to get you started and tailor to your own needs.And it’s cute and you can print it out for free.
For instance instead of saying “You need such-and-such amount of certain specific non-perishable foods”, I just say “food”.
You know your area and you know if you’re going to need 72 hours of nourishment while you camp out in a tent or whether you just need a snack while you drive to a relative’s house nearby.The lights came down just this weekend and that’s only because Chris took them down.
If it was left up to me, who knows how long they’d be there.. -We eat almost all pre-prepared foods for dinner around here (.except for chili!.
Which is pre-prepared by me and then frozen, so it really doesn’t count).Those pre-packaged bags of cut up fresh veggies that are way over-priced that used to make me wonder who in their right mind would buy them?
