I'm not sure what disaster the Mormons are expecting, but this 72 hour kit sounds pretty nifty! I might just do it just to say I did!

You wouldn't feast, but you likely *would* be able to keep your energy levels up...

Well Hair and them's experience shows the wisdom of keeping some sort of Emergency Kit packed and ready. One never knows, does one?
We had a bug out box all packed right after 9/11. We could have grabbed it, and a flat of water bottles and kept on the road for a day or two, or stopped and camped overnight, if necessary. We've slowly used all the stuff that was in it, and haven't created a new one. Probably a good thing to have, though if we were without power for a few days, we'd survive. We have propane tanks, a grill with a side burner, and even a 3 burner propane stove, so we could cook canned goods and stuff from the freezer. We wouldn't freeze because we could all camp out in the den and keep the fireplace going, putting blankets over the doorways to the rest of the house to keep the room warm.

I think the Mormons have always taught about a certain level of emergency preparedness.

You know, in their early days, they had to move a lot, and often quickly.
