I read a blog post from someone who apparently touches on the subject of preparedness only occasionally, but he made an excellent point that serves as a good reminder for all of us.  Namely, do you have a three day survival kit ready?

As this blogger noted, it's possible to focus on "the end of the world as we know it" (TEOTWAWKI) and overlook the need to be ready for storms and the like.  FEMA, the Red Cross, and others all recommend having a minimum of supplies to get you through 72 hours.

I was amused by the ramblings of another blogger who said he had more than one three day kit and wondered if he was obsessing about preparedness.  I certainly don't think so, since he had one for home, car, and work, and each was equipped with items specific for each place.

            One reason QuakeKare is featured here from time to time is that they carry ready made 72 hour kits for home, school, work, the car, and they even have kits for pets.  There are kits for one person on up to 20 people.

            Having survival supplies in a backpack is a practical idea.  QuakeKare offers a Four Person Deluxe Backpack Survival Kit packaged in a durable nylon backpack.  Though it’s designed for use in your car, its contents will serve for use in other situations.  You’ll want to add your own custom supplies for your car, such as a shovel for winter and jumper cables.

This comprehensive backpack survival kit from QuakeKare contains emergency food, water, lighting, radio, first-aid, sanitation, and shelter supplies so you’re prepared for all disasters.  It also includes a  solar/hand-crank powered flashlight, radio, flashing LED siren and mobile phone charger with a universal adapter.  

            QuakeKare’s kits are well thought out and reasonably priced for everythingyou get.  You can see a complete description on their web site, which you can go to by clicking the QuakeKare logo below.  The Four Person Deluxe Backpack Survival Kit is pictured on the home page, or you can type item SKBP4DD in the search box and go to a page that allows you to add it to your cart or click the kit’s picture for the description.

            The bottom line: don’t overlook having three day survival kits for you and your family for home and away.
