BASIC LIST OF THINGS TO CARRY IN YOUR CAR IN CASE OF DISASTER-EMERGENCEY !!! Water - 2 one-gallon jugs of drinking water (enough for 4-8 days depending on the conditions.) - 1 4-liter water bladder (empty)

 - 1 EmergencyEssentials Inc. 32 oz. Blue Water Bottle - 

 6 KATADYN®Micropur™ Purification Tablets (Plus 4 more in my wallet. Enough to treat 10 quarts of water.) Food -

 1 DATREX® 3600Calorie Food Bar (Enough for three days at 1200 calories/day. And it’s great for cars because it can withstand extreme temperatures and last for up to 5 years.) -

 1 can of SPAM (I’ll probably never eat this, but what the heck.) Warmth/Shelter - 

 1 full change of clothes (including a 100% wool sweater and extra pair of pants) -

 1 Space® BrandAll Weather Blanket - 1 reflective emergencyblanket -

 1 silnylon tarp - 1 sleeping bag - 1 sleeping pad - 1 blanket (I think it’s either a poly/wool blend or acrylic. It’s from Peru and the label doesn’t say what it’s made of, so I don’t know.) -

 About 80 feet of paracord 

(I have another 100 feet in a belt I wove and wear every day, but that’s a story for another blog post.) -

 Protective and Other Equipment - 1 helmet - 1 pair of goggles

 1 pair of gloves - 3 dust masks (they aren’t N95Particulate Respirator Masks, so I plan to replace them.) - 1 backpack (To carry all this stuff in if I have to.) - 1 slingshot with ammo 

(what can I say? I’m a little boy at heart. Plus I might need to hunt squirrels or something.) -

 1 set of tire chains - 1 pair of jumper cables - 1 multi-tool (Which I always carry on my belt.) - 1 3-inch folding knife (Which I always keep in my pocket.)
