Month 5 (April 2013)
It is time to put your emergency kit into one, easy-to-carry bag just in case you need to leave in a hurry. This bag is for emergencies only so the only requirements are that it holds together and you can carry it for a fair distance. It does not need to be beautiful. You can use an old school bag, shoulder bag, carry-on, beach bag or even an old church bag. If you can sew, you can make your own out of sturdy materials. Now, pack everything you’ve collected in the bag and voila - You have a finished kit! Place it near the door you would be most likely to use in an emergency – maybe the one where you keep your keys – and you're ready to go.
