I Thought That Fit You

Have you ever gone somewhere with a baby or toddler only to realize too late that you forgot a diaper and wipes? I've only done that twice in the last three months. On a very short term basis, you can deal with the problem, but what if the problem lasted for days?

Having the right supplies in your 72-hour kit can be crucial for your family to endure the hopefully short term hardship. Can you do without diapers? Yes, but it won't be pleasant. Can you do without clean clothes? Yes, but you may end up battling illness because of the lack of proper clothing.

What about those who have clothing in their kits? When was the last time you checked the sizing of the clothes? I'm not just talking about how well the kids fit in after growing. Adults in the country tend to grow over time too. Do those pants you put in the kit five years ago really fit today? have you been dieting successfully? If so, I hope you have a belt in the kit.

Take time to inventory regularly. Get clothing that will work in the kit. Don't let food go stale or rotten. Be mindful that your kit should reflect you today.
