Ironwoman; How did you do in the Labor Day weekend race?
Regarding the Emergency kits; I recommend several, one for each Vehicle, with blankets, flashlights, water, energy bars, a small roll of TP, basically a 12 hour supply of what two people would need.
For the house/APT, gather up everything you would take on a two day camping trip, small tent, propane stove, propane, water, dishes, change of clothes, dried food, canned food and water.
Each time you shop, get one thing and put it in the kit, remember the Adult Beverages too, you will want something in the first couple of hours.
Your kit doesn't have to cost money, the Major Beer companies all gave away backpacks with beer this spring, the Canadian one was the best, and it's bright red, perfect for the E Kit, these packs are all insulated, so I have some stuff in the Red Pack, and other stuff in the Blue Pack. Every time some company sends you a free sample of a food or soap/shampoo item, put it in the pack, same goes for Hotel soaps and shampoo's, including the toothbrush that your Dentist gives you. First Aid kits come standard in most new vehicles, perhaps a visit to a scrapyard is a good bet, call first, and they will have the kit ready for a real good price.
This time of year all the outdoor stores are clearing out camping goods, good time to buy.
In your home freezer place several gallon jugs of water , these will be your day 3 and beyond water supply, and they will help keep your frozen items from going bad sooner than you can use them.
