Supplies to Keep In Your Vehicles, Including Bags

Gas is at a minimum or not available. You need to 'get around', get water, wood, other supplies. How do you do it? How do you maintain 'alternate transporation'?

Don't Leave Home Without It: the Vehicle 72-Hour Kit
http://thesurvivalmom.com/2010/03/28/dont-leave-home-without-it-the-vehicle-72-hour-kit/

Soccer moms, football moms, cheerleading moms, whatever they call us, “chauffeur” better describes what we, Survival Moms, do every day. In my world, it’s not unusual to have a kid’s dentist appointment, a field trip, and a swim meet all on the same day, transported by our trusty Tahoe. Now, if that Tahoe ever broke down or for some reason we couldn’t get home as planned, what would we do?

My answer is the Vehicle 72 Hour Kit. If you were well and truly stuck somewhere, this Kit could see you and your family through at least 72 hours. That’s three days. It wouldn’t be luxurious living, that’s for sure, but it would be survival, and that’s what we’re talking about here.

I consider the Vehicle 72 Hour Kit to be an essential part of being prepared for emergencies. ---CONTINUED---

72 Hour Kits: For KIDS!

Kids 72 Hour Emergency Kits
http://foodstorageandsurvival.com/kids-72-hour-emergency-kits/

Children are a special consideration when planning emergency/evacuation type kits. They obviously cannot carry as much as an adult, yet require enough of their own stuff to make it impossible for the adults to carry the supplies for the entire family. Our solution was to make abbreviated kits for the kids. My idea when putting these together was that if my children were separated from me for some reason, I'd like them to be able to get by for a while on their own until we could find them.

I started with the school backpacks with wheels.

Rotating the Adult 72 Hour/Emergency Kits
http://selfrelianceadventures.blogspot.com/2009/10/rotating-adult-72-houremergency-kits.html

Remember the 72 hour emergency kits? Well, if you've put one together for yourself or your loved ones, it's a good idea to get into them and rotate the supplies every so often. I actually like to do this every spring and fall (I use the LDS General Conference weekend as a reminder). Getting the pack out at least twice a year serves a couple of purposes. First, I get to rotate out all the old junk like old MRE's and expired medications and replace them with fresh stuff. Second, I am reminded of what I have in the pack and it gets me thinking of what else I need or want. And third, I get to organize all the stuff I added during the last 6 months (letting you all in on how I operate here--when I want to add something to the kit and it's not rotation time, I just unzip the top zipper and stuff it in, then I usually have 4-5 things that need to be put where they belong in the kit when rotation time rolls around)

This fall, just for you, I dumped the entire contents of my kit and took pictures--now doesn't that make you all feel loved? Just don't pay any attention to my nappy living room carpet--it was that way when we bought this house and I've got no drive to replace it until my kids are bigger.

So we'll start with --- continued at link, above ----

72 Hour Kit
http://modernsurvivalblog.com/preps/72-hour-kit/

Why Do I Need a 72 Hour Kit?

Everyone should be prepared and keep a 72 hour emergency kit in their vehicle preps for survival, no excuses.

Having a 72 hour kit in your car is definitely a strong recommendation for those living in Earthquake country, who could find themselves stranded during a major earthquake, or maybe not able to make it back home due to infrastructure damage. One could think of many scenarios whereby having a 72 hour supply of food and water in the car could be a lifesaver, or a great convenience if nothing else. --- continued at link, above ---

Baby Step #4: Get home, no matter what
http://thesurvivalmom.com/2010/07/21/baby-step-4-get-home-no-matter-what/

(SNIP) ... what should we do if there is some type of emergency that prevents him from being able to get home? I don't expect major tornadoes or a devastating earthquake, but civil unrest in the central part of our city, in particular, is easier to imagine, along with major flooding.

(SNIP) .... If a family or individual is unprepared, getting home may be easier said than done. A small, well-packed Get-Home backpack in your car, one per person, would be a smart addition and could make getting home a reality. Here's a checklist of items to keep in your vehicle should you find yourself having to hoof it home. --- continued at link, above ---

DELUXE 96-HOUR KIT

Image

LDS Preparedness Manual
https://survivalcache.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/LDS-Preparedness-Manual.pdf

(Pages 17-19)

In emergency preparedness, a 72 hour kit is widely considered the first step in becoming prepared. Sitting in a closet or some other area close to the front door, it can be grabbed in a moment's notice, should you have to depart your home with little or no warning. Two days ago, only a block from my house, a neighbor's home caught fire at 3 AM. After getting everyone out, the fire hastily spread and quickly destroyed this family's home. Everything inside it was totally destroyed. What did they have left? Only the pajamas on their backs. They lost literally everything. They didn't even have shoes on their feet. They wish they'd had a good 96 hour kit. Fortunately, the whole community is pulling together for them. But not everyone is this lucky. Sometimes, whole communities are affected at the same time. This same tiny farming village back in 1978 had to be immediately evacuated for several days because of derailed and leaking butane cars. Before that, everyone here thought this was a place where disasters 'never happened' Seventy-two hour kits would have been really handy then as well. It's not necessary that you live in a tornado or hurricane alley to need a 96 hour kit. Every family needs one for the unexpected.

A deluxe "96" hour kit should contain all the essential things your family would need to take you through 4 days of being on your own. There's a reason behind the length of time the kit's contents should last. It generally takes the disaster relief agencies at least 3-4 days to move in and set up before offering assistance. Generally speaking, you're on your own during this time. Depending on how bad the situation is, it could even be longer. Whether you start with our kit or put one together yourself from scratch, it's important for your family's welfare to have one. In any type of disaster things will be bad. Not having the necessities to sustain your life and the lives of your family members could turn an otherwise manageable problem into a personal cataclysm you could never recover from. Prepare now for life's surprises. --- CONTINUED at LINK, above ---

72 Hour Bags-Clothes to Pack

What Type of Clothes to Pack in Your 72-Hour Kit
https://www.thereadystore.com/diy/10509/what-type-of-clothes-to-pack-in-your-72-hour-kit/

It seems that all too often, preppers can be overly concerned about the supplies and tools they have in their 72-hour kit, and forget that everyday items like clothing are just as important in a survival situation. Making sure you’ve packed the proper clothes in your bug out bag is very crucial – and can often mean the difference between surviving and emergency just as much as any other item.

A survival situation can strike when you least expect it – when you’re on vacation, when you’re on your way home from work, or even when you’re in bed for the night. You don’t want to be caught with just your Bermuda shorts, your business casual office wear, or your sleepwear for the next 72 hours. But if you’re not already packed with the clothing you need, that’s exactly what could happen. --- CONTINUED at LINK, above ---

. . . To be prepared, it’s important that you have an emergency food supply that will keep you going for at least three days. . . .

. . . Military rations can be a good choice if you can find a supply of new ones with a few years’ shelf life remaining, but for most people the best option is to put together their own supply.

How to Build an EMP Emergency Car Bag
http://www.askaprepper.com/how-to-build-an-emp-emergency-car-bag/

The chance of getting your car stuck in the woods is much higher than an EMP strike. So you may think that it’s nonsense to have an EMP emergency kit in your car.

But think of it this way: if you are prepared for an EMP then you are prepared for anything.

When an EMP knocks out the power grid, our cars, our mobile phones, and any electronics… EVERYTHING will come to a halt! You’ll have to walk your way home no matter if your car got stuck 100 miles away, no matter if this happens when you are on a highway, in the dessert, on a cold stormy winter or on your way to work. Nobody will come for you. You’ll be totally on your own!

On your way home you may need to provide food, water, clothes, shelter, protection and aid for you and maybe your family. This is why I said that an EMP Emergency car bag will surely help in any emergency situation.

So, one of the things you should take into consideration is ... ---CONTINUED---

How To Prepare Your Car In Case You Have To Live In It

Living out of a vehicle is never an ideal circumstance. In a perfect world, you would purchase a truck, SUV, or a van, which you will modify and customize to maximize the comfort and use of space. We do not live in a perfect world, and whichever vehicle you are currently driving may end up being your home on wheels. So what can you do to prepare your current car in the unfortunate event that you may be forced to call it “home”? ---CONTINUED---
