Weekly Assignment:

72 Hour Kits:

Add the following to your 72 Hour Kit (Remember: If you are doing the same menu for each day, you need to multiply the items by 3 (one for each day) and then by the number of 72 Hour Kits you are putting together):

1) Soup--Chicken Noodle (or any flavor you would like) dry mix (either in a package or Cup of Soup)

2) Hard candy (about 6-8 pieces per day x 3 days) (Important--if you buy mint flavored candy make sure you put it into a separate snap n' seal or zip lock baggie and store away from the food. The food will take on the mint flavor)


Car Emergency Kit:

Purchase or put together a First-aid Kit with a First-aid Manuel and put in your Car Kit.


Weekly Challenge & 3 Months Food Supply:

Take the "month food chart" you started keeping in Weekly Challenge & Assignment for August 1st and review your chart. You should have a whole month's idea of what your family eats in one month.

From the chart figure out what you will need for a month of food supplies for your family and multiply by 3. This will most likely give you what your family eats in a month since most families eat whatever they eat within a month. Now you can take one or two items (watch grocery store sales to save money) on the chart and buy extra towards your 3 Months Food Supply. Keep adding items each week and remember to rotate them. See the 3 Months Food Supply & Rotating blogs. Before you know it you will have a 3 Months Food Supply and then can work towards a Year's Food Supply.

If you have been following along each week you should have added the following items:

72 Hour Kit (Remember if following the same menu for each day that is 3 of each item times the number of kits):

Granola bars
Juice Box drinks
Instant hot chocolate drink
Small box of raisins
Instant Oatmeal
Fruit Cups
Trail Mix
Gum
Today's items:
Dry soup mix
Hard candy
We only have a few more items to add. We should be done by the next 1-2 weeks.

Good luck with all the weekly assignments and challenge. Email me at thearkcarsonward@gmail.com or call me at 310-835-0902 if you have any questions.
