QUAN. ITEM
** Toilet tissue**
2 Water -gallon jugs
1 50-foot roll of 1/8 inch nylon rope
1 10x10 ft. plastic sheet
2 Duct tape
1 Sleeping bag
1 set Extra clothing
50 Paper/plastic plates
2 rolls Paper towels
1 each Toothbrush &toothpaste
1 each Shampoo, hand lotion, bar soap, hand sanitizer
2 Disposable razor
** Since a standard toilet paper roll is huge to pack, I always tell people to save the roll from their bathroom when it gets to a much smaller size, compress flat, and place in a zip lock bag.

Sounds great to me....I think I am going to set up 2 of these for myself and my much much better half.

Thanks Karl!

Select only dehydrated foods that can be prepared by adding hot water.

Medical supplies you may need including water purification tablets, toilet tissue, band aids, and travel-size hygiene supplies.

I tried this , and it is do-able, for about the same money.
You actually end up with about double, as the packing contain more than is listed.
So, I ended up with 2 bags, (food in ziploc), one for the truck (BOV) and one in the basement, for about $30 bucks.
This was a good posting for someone that is just starting out and need a place to start.

Lots of food. Only down side don't get me wrong is Rule of 3s. # minutes without air, Three hours without shelter, 3 days without water,3 weeks without food. Water purification is great but always better to have some on hand. If in your car shelter is covered. Average survival situtation lasts 3 days.
