Our third preparedness challenge for November is to add emergency tools to your 72-hour kit. During a walk-away evacuation, you may need to repair something or free someone. Gather a few emergency tools for your kit to help, or buy them for someone you love for Christmas! I chose gadgets you may find on sale during the holidays. Keep them in your 72-hour kit so you can find them quickly.
Add Emergency Tools to Your 72-hour Kit
- Find a multi-tool or Swiss Army knife with scissors and some carabiners.
- While shopping, think “lightweight and useful.”
- You’ll find competitive prices in hardware stores, the men’s gadget section in department stores, and Walmart.
- Attach a few carabiners to the outside of your 72-hour kit bag so you can attach something important when needed.
- Find more useful tools on my website post Preparedness Challenge July Week 1.
If you don’t need anything this week, focus on gathering more food storage.
Be thankful you can stock up your way!
