This Emergency Supplies 5 Gallon Bucket Kit Project is a great way to have your bug out ecavation supplies stored in your garage or in your car trunk. The actual bucket can be a tool in itself.
I have always thought that a five gallon bucket with emergency supplies would be such a wonderful gift for family and friends who are like minded.
In the event of a natural disaster (especially now with Hurricanes Harvey and Irma), people should now be prepared for anything that can happen and have it handy. This is a special kit that can be made at home using a large five gallon bucket to have everything in one place when disaster strikes. It should have a bit of everything for any storm – hurricanes, earthquakes, floods, or blizzards – and be carried anywhere necessary. This is DIY because we know what’s in it and what to do in any scenario. Plus, the things placed inside should be made to what is necessary for each person and it is a money-saver compared to premade kits.
So, what should be in the EMERGENCY SUPPLY KIT:
