72 Hour Kits
There are thousand right ways to build a 72 hour kit, and many of them aren't expensive or time consuming to build. As you begin building yours, keep the following things in mind:
​
What is essential for my survival for 3 days? (Water, food, heat, and shelter are a good place to start)
What are my unique circumstances and needs? (any mobility limitations? Pets? Babies? Medications?)
​
Below is a basic list of suggested items for a 72 hour kit. This list should give you a good starting place, but is certainly not universal or exhaustive. Get creative and build what works for you! Remember, your kit should be portable, so putting it in a backpack or having a wagon or similar to carry it is important.
