So, on Pinterest I have seen so many lists for "72 Hour Kits". Admittedly, I know that I should have one, however, each time I approach the subject of the 72-hour kit I get really overwhelmed. After all, I went to several different blogs and sites (with GREAT Pictures) and found that there were things that were missing. SO, I copied lists from all of the sites and made a full list of things that were in all of the kits - and I decided that I would put it here for you all to enjoy.
I agree on a few points - with the 72-hour kit, some of these things can get to be expensive. So, please spread out the planning of the kit over some time. Also, I had read a comment that someone had made about the "Pre-Made Kits" being less expensive and probably a better buy. From my research, this is not the best idea guys. That stuff in there is typically cheap and won't really help you in a survival situation. I recommend at least putting it together your self so you can at least know what you have, where you put it, and that you purchased something that is of good quality. Just my two Cents - moving on now.
