“Survival kits from the coffee cans is an excellent idea, and I would bet that you could use the shiny insides to reflect light for signaling.”

That’s a great idea Granny. I read about the coffee can kits many years ago, don’t remember where. You can add whatever you think would be useful, but the main idea was having a way to make warm drinks and have extra snacks in case you were stranded in the snow. We’ve never had to use ours, but I always feel better knowing its there if anything happened.

You can aDr. Bill dd whatever you think would be useful, but the main idea was having a way to make warm drinks and have extra snacks in case you were stranded in the snow.<<<<

Dr. Bill talked about what should be in cars at all times, he would approve your kit.

I think it is time to take a look at his other suggestions, for as the flu progresses, there is no way to know where you will be stranded, ordered to drive away from a riot, etc.

Walking shoes, always kept in car and desks, if working in an office.

Food, he favors peanut butter, Spam and your bars for energy.

Sleeping bags one per person.

Water.

Medical kit.

He lives in mountain snow country and says he has used them.

Makes sense, those folks running from the office buildings last week in New York, would have loved having running shoes in their desk.
