You can go the do-it-yourself route.... OR I saw they have a "survival kit in a bucket" kit at Costco for like $50 or something. It's a big bucket. ;) And the bucket doubles as a portapotty! FABU! Hehe.<BR/><BR/>As for dried milk... heh. They have it at Winco, and it's pretty darn cheap. <BR/><BR/>Man, I need to go through my little bag and refresh it I think.<BR/><BR/>So yeah! Also, I never get e-mails if you respond to these comments (kinda why I stopped... even though I still read I SWEARZ!).... what's up with that!?R.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06300405483802683540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343424191601230355.post-38511597499875338732008-09-18T08:17:00.000-07:002008-09-18T08:17:00.000-07:00Here is what I suggest...toilet paper.

NARSTEE!<BR/>3 powdered milk is good to have. We hate it too but it is good to have some on hand. <BR/>4 Instant potatoes - they are always good and don't take up too much space<BR/>5 Water, Gatorade and muscle milk - serious you can't have too much water, Gatorade is good for the electrolytes especially if you have kiddos that get sick and muscle milk is good for protein and doesn't have to be refrigerated.<BR/>6 Hard Candy<BR/>7 Try doing a 72 hour kit first rather than worrying about the big stuff. Besides, beans are gross too.<BR/><BR/>I have been working on this for some time now and I am amazed at how much we have. I know you don't have an extra bath tub to put your storage in like we do but you do have your attic. That is good for the bulky things.<BR/>Check out the website links I posted on our family webpage. It will also give you some ideas.Michelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16629755204219635763noreply@blogger.com
