Thanks for the responses.


Art_in_FL: I’ve added several surgical dressings and roller gauze. Actually there are some aspirin also in already (I dictated and 10 year-old DD typed, we missed a couple items.).
The MREs are just entrees, not full MREs.
The lantern is battery powered, not my first choice, butprobably better for the target audience (easier and safer).
Trash bags. Good thought. Now in.
Not really any room for effective stove, “Pepsi can” stove isn’t probably a great option without experience using it.


dougwalkabout: re: stove & vessel: see above (I’ve asked some ofthe target audience, anything short of a Coleman stove makes ‘em nervous & no room for that).
Tag on the outside with expiration dates noted and MRE production date
Cards, shears, tape & tape added.
Really no room for blankets.
Sewing kit, I’ll have to look for one.


CJK: All the meds are OTC & if you took them all at once you probably wouldn’t hurt yourself, The expiration dates are on a tag on the outside. Believe me, in my field I’m acutely aware of lawsuits, but sometimes you have to trust to common sense (unfortunately not all that common it seems)and do what seems appropriate. I have put official data sheets for the drugs in the kit. {shrug}


trooper366: Zip ties, 550 cord now in.
Tarp – not really any room
Goggles or Safety Glasses – good thought, will have to
get some
Notebook – extra pages in the “book” (not exactly
“Blast’s Big Book”, but a start)



UTAlumnus: no, what I had on hand.

BigDaddyTX: Yes, thanks.
MREs – just entrees.
I’m trying to balance some instruction without overwhelming.



Thanks again everyone. It’s still a work-in-progress. I have until 16 Feb PM to complete.
