August- {Prepared! Not Scared!}

In August we are going to work on the FOOD portion of our 72 hour kits! To me, this is the most daunting! What am I going to put in them? What kinds of food keep good? What will my kids eat? Will those things fill us up enough so we aren't grumpy? (I get grumpy when I am hungry!) Will it be too heavy to carry? Too many questions-I know! So after many months of research and planning I think I have it figured out. At least for my family anyways! I want to share with you what I have found and give you some tips and pointers on what I think will work. Just a few hints at what we accomplish on August 19th:

* 72 hour food kits that provide -high calories while not sacrificing nutrition
                                               -low cost
                                               -non-cook food items
                                               -food that will taste good so you will want to rotate 

                                                at least 1X a year
                                               -free meal plans and shopping lists! Woohoo

* Freeze dried food taste table-THRIVE LIFE   

* Buddy Burner- Great for cooking a meal in a single pot or small can. You can boil water, cook noodles, mac and cheese, soup, etc. Please save your empty #10 cans, empty tuna cans and heavy cardboard. (If you have food in your kit that needs to be cooked) If you don't you still might want to boil water at some point! 

Hopefully everyone can make because it is going to be awesome! And....if you don't get your kits put together, you can't whine or cry when you don't have anything in the event of an emergency. So lets get prepared!!!
