Hey gang!

I'm setting up a couple of little just in case adventure backpack kits for my three almost four year old daughter and her BFF, who's almost three. I thought I'd give a heartfelt shout-out to the ETS "Survival for Kids" section. It's been a while since I've put together one of these little kits, so the first place I went for a refresher was here. If you've got kids to equip and prepare, this site rocks!!

FWIW, my girls are starting with little backpacks, laminated ID cards, small Nalgene water bottle with sippy cup lids, a little pack of snacks, brightly coloured sun hats and rain jackets as well as a stuffy for each of them. We've been practicing "Hug a Tree" for a few months, so they also have whistles on break-free lanyards.

They're too young and small for much more, other than perhaps flashlights. I debated adding bandaids too but they know how to use them, but they love them so they'd be more of a toy than a FAK item.
