72- Hour Kits

I have really been struggling to finish my little family's 72-Hour Kits.  I think it's because I let some of my perfectionism get in the way.  Here is what I have learned so far.  USE WHAT YOU HAVE!!! If you go out and buy all the best stuff you will be stuck with really expensive kits that you might never use and empty pockets. If you haven't started yet or aren't quite finished (like me) take this list and go on a scavenger hunt to find as many items as you can in your home (only use items that wont be missed...too much).

1 set of cloths (pants, shirt, under garments, beanie, scarf, baseball hat,socks)

Items that are not in kit to grab: (place close to kits)

2.5 gallon water jug

shoes and socks (these are located under my bed in case of a fire where I need to exit out my window)

jacket (has another $50 stashed in the pocket)

Here is what I still need:

thermal reflective blanket (space blanket)

map of Turlock

waterproof matches

rain poncho

copies of important documents (health insurance, license, birth certificate, marriage papers, ect.)

list of items in kit

list of important phone numbers

Now...is there anything else that I am forgetting?  Do I have too much stuff?  Where is the best place to get the rest of the things on my list for cheap?  Do you have any more ideas for what type of food I should include? How are you doing on your kits?

My goal is to have my kits complete by next week...so I can show all of you how they turned out.
