OK, now let's work on some of the other things that we may need in a 72 hour kit. So let's put in a pocket knife!!! I have seen usable pocket knives on sale from $4 to $140. I have seen pocket knives with simply one folding blade to 12-in-1 combinations. You may want to do some talking to the Scouts and/or campers in your family to get their recommendations. And you may want to do a little internet research.
I tend to favor a Swiss army knife configuration, but that may just be because our pocket knife (a Swiss army knife combination) was a gift from my dad. When you look at the configurations, think through how the various functions might help your family.
We'll calendar this item for 3 weeks, both because the more common prices are between $12 - $20 and because you may need a little research time. If you want to check out the $4 knife, feel free to send me an email, and I can direct you to it online, however I am not endorsing it or any particular pocket knife.
For those of you that already have your pocket knives, we would love to hear what you have and why you chose it. Please give us the benefit of your experience.
And optionally, if you already have a pocket knife in your 72 hour kit, put your $5 this week into an envelope to start saving for your radio.
