| INSTRUCTIONS FOR PACKING 72 MEAL CAN
This is all the food that you will need for 72 hours. You will also need 3-4 liters of water per kit. *****The beef jerky, trail mix, and juice boxes should be rotated every six months. (If you don’t rotate them, they could go bad and then they will not be of any use to you when you need them.) The other items in the kit will probably last 2-3 years. REMEMBER TO DATE YOUR KITS AND ROTATE THOSE ITEMS.
| Emergency Preparedness Kits Mini First Aid Kit Place the following in cleaned (with soap and water) 35mm-film container in this order. You can usually obtain these from 1-hour film processors
I made a label on my computer with the contents of this canister and also placed a warning regarding small and sharp objects plus any medication.
