SO I was just surfing at one of my fav web sites and ran across this ad for a Deluxe 30 Day Emergency and Survival Kit for Four People... their
everyday Low Price: $3,249.97
Yeah right most of us could put it together for a fraction of the asking... SO to that end I thought it might be helpful to some, if I just posted the
contents of the super-duper 3 grand deluxe kit so we can make our own...
This deluxe kit contains enough supplies for four people for 30 days. Kit contains:
* Eight boxes of 10 masks per box with respirators to protect against airborne viruses, bacteria, dust and prevent moisture build up.

one 60 hour pillar candle.

* Two, five gallon camper's shower.
* Two, ceramic filtration systems; filter up to 300 gallons of water each per hour, includes filter, filter sock, and spigot.

There you have it, the recipe for a super-duper 3 grand deluxe kit
Looks more like a few hundred worth of stuff... I didn't see anything most of us can't find locally or off the net... nothing that makes it worth 3
grand anyway. if it were me I'd ditch the Sterno kits for a pair of good ole Colmen camp stoves, lots of junk in here but it's a guide not a rule so
feel free to mix and match K

PS you all do know what MRE stands for right?
Meals Rejected by Everyone!
Edit to add... anyone else think 33 boxes of stuff, a bit much, to toss over your shoulder and make a run for it?
