I am happy to report that now I have an updated 72 hour kit. I have the right size of diapers and I also have underwear for Piglet. There are two pairs of clothes for everyone...one for warm weather and one for cool weather. I have all the food groups represented and I even have a can opener to open the tuna. I have whistles for everyone and enough glow sticks to last for awhile. I have first aid basics and at least two flashlights in it. There is cash broken up into smaller bills and we even have colored pencils and coloring books for the kids. I'm sure that we don't have everything that could go into a 72 hour kit, but at least we have it.
Ya wanna see?!?!
I got the idea to put it into a (clean) rolling trash can from a friend. It's not too heavy for me to lift into the trunk of my van and it has a handle that makes it easy to roll. I used to keep it in duffel bags. I found those to be hard to carry because you had to carry about 4 of them each. This has turned out to be the best solution for us. I also keep a case of water bottles in the van under the seats in the stow-and-go storage.
Anyway, this time I can say that I've fixed one of my confessions!

Can I just say Awesome!! We so need to update ours. I am sure the clothes in there are no way near fiting any of us anymore!
I am so proud of you. That is just a great thing and service for your family. Way to gofor not putting this off any longer.
Hurrah! That's awesome! I just might have to look into the garbage can idea... right now we have five bags... and they are scattered. And not complete... :(
Love your blog! And love the rolling trash can idea. Hmmm.... may have to try that out.
72-hour kits can be so overwhelming-- kudos for doing it!
I love the trash can idea. I don't have anything put together at all but this is giving me some ideas. Thanks so much for posting this follow up. I love new ideas!
