Week 18 - 72 Crew

This week is one of those weeks where we should have the royal buglers sounding a victory fanfare.  This is the 6th week, the last week, that we will be working on getting the bedding tied down, literally, for your 72 hour kits.  And with getting your bedding in place, that means you now have water, food, clothing and bedding in a ready-to-go container for each member of your family.  You certainly are worthy of a royal shout out to be sure!  There is still more to do, but give yourselves a pat on the back.  You've accomplished the basics here.

The optional assignment this week for those of you who would like to add a bit more comfort to your lives in a crisis is to get those foam pads (that weigh little and can be rolled up and strapped to your pack easily) to put under your sleeping bag.  With a little deal shopping, you can usually find ones that are pretty inexpensive.  It's amazing the extra comfort you can get from even 1 inch of foam.

Best wishes,
Marie
