3 day bag

This is a bag that holds supplies for you to last 3 days. That is the average travel time if going by car or foot to another location in an emergency situation. The most important thing about the bag is that you can carry it comfortably and fit everything you need.

Some gear can be shared but some things each person will want to have on their own to be sure the group can make it to the designated location and survive until needed. Parents, this doesn't necessarily mean kids should have all this gear I am leaving that up to you to decide what they will and won't have
