*How to get together a 72 hour kit

*How to make soap/shampoo out of the basic necessities

*How to filter water

*What are some good resources for food storage

*How to find your way home if you're lost

*Knowledge of food from local plants in the desert,etc

*First aid or home remedies for colds, headaches, flu, etc

*How to handle a gun

*How to shoot a bow and arrow

*How to make a weapon out of sticks or whatever you have with you to hunt with or to protect yourself

These are just ideas. You can do whatever you want and it can be something the kids can be involved with or just adults. Your choice. Good luck and I'm looking forward to hearing back from everyone. I will post the families choices once they come in so check in from time to time.
