Ready Set Go: Building Your 72-Hour Emergency Kit

Last week we talked about being roadside ready by building a vehicle emergency kit. Today, we are going to talk about a kit for your home.Ready dot gov recommends we be self sufficient for three days.One govt official said, after a hurricane a few years ago, "The first 72 are on you."In the early '60s, a Civil Defense program called, Grandma's Pantry asked everyone to be prepared for at least seven days.Hurricane Helene in Western North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee showed us that we may need a lot more than even seven days, but today we are going to talk about the 72 hour kit, or emergency kit, and then you can expand it to be self sufficient for two or three weeks if you wish.Mentioned in this episode:Magic Mind Black Friday 50% off sale (Until December 6, 2024)Practical Prepping Online CoursesIf you find value in the podcast, would you be willing to give back a little?You can do that one of two ways (or both).(1) Buy Us A  Cup of Coffee --->  CLICK HERE          OR(2)  By starting your Amazon shopping from our website? --->  CLICK HERE               (We earn from qualifying Amazon purchases)Contact us:Practical PreppingWebsite: www.practicalprepping.infoEmail at [email protected] Sponsors:Magic Mind Productivity ShotsIncludes 20% DiscountSurfShark VPNProLine Digital Grouphttps://www.prolinedigitalgroup.comEmail: [email protected] Curtis Kniveshttps://www.facebook.com/JimcurtisknivesEmail Jim:  [email protected] music written and recorded by Krista LawleyWebsite design and hosting by ProLine Digital Group.Podcasts Copyright 2024, P3 Media Group, and Practical Prepping Podcast
