Emergency Preparedness - emergency preparedness, 72 hour kit
This kit is GREAT! Has everything you need for a family of four, including tents and blankets. I love the backpack that it comes with as well. I actually am using a cheap rolling suitcase that I bought at Walmart for my emergency supply kit holder (because I have so many things) but I have included this backpack inside the suitcase. It has reflective seams as well. The contents of this kit are great, everything you'll need. I did end up buying more water and emergency food bars though because I have two dogs as well and an infant who uses formula (that you have to mix with water). The actual first aid kit is pretty "bare bones" but it'll do the job... Deluxe Emergency Kit-4 Person, Emergency Zone Brand, Disaster Survival Kit, 72 Hour Kit
It arrived within a week, but two items were back ordered. Potable Aqua Tablets and Food rations. Customer Service at Basic Living wasn't much help at first, but I eventually got my back ordered items. For the delay they shipped the back order with a multi-tool and refunded me the shipping cost.
Pleased to get what seems to be all the key items needed for emergencies. The kit does not lack any key items needed for an unanticipated real emergency. I would recommend it as an excellent kit to have. Only negative is a couple of the items were of poor quality; but this can be overlooked because of the completeness of the kit.
I bought 3 different Emergency Zone kits because we have a large family. We looked at making our own kit but by the time we even went to Walmart to get the backpack and all the stuff inside, it would have turned out to be a lot more expensive. Everything fits well into the backpack with some extra space for personal items, but not a lot. For 4 people it helps to have an extra backpack for a change of clothes etc. This is great for the emergency supplies though. The best part of this is that you can buy it and keep it in the garage or car and you know it is ready to go any time. We keep ours in the garage. It pretty much takes care of the standard items like food, water, radio, flashlight, first aid kit and a few tools. The Survivor 4 Person Emergency Kit we bought along with this had more items and a great backpack with lots of pockets to organize things more, but this one is a good kit and a great price.
Do your self a favor and DON'T get this kit. Take a couple hours out of your day and get everything at your local dollar store. Order your 3-day supply of food and water...but everything else was really cheap. I literally opened it, packed it back up, and had the return label back on it within 10 minutes. - Emergency Kit - 72 Hour Kit - Disaster Kit - Emergency Preparedness'
