To Erik with Love...from Katherine

Erik is our go to guy when it comes to preparedness.  I have enjoyed following his Prep and be Ready Facebook and has inspired me to get my act together. This is the before picture of our 72 hour kits. Yes they are somewhere in there.

So step one get organized.  I updated all our kits with awesome headlamps and first aid kits.  Also created name tags with photo id and contents label.  I got hooks to hang them on the peg board for easier access in case of emergency.

You can also see our water storage filled.  

I also helped our YSA do a 72 hr food kit in a milk jug.  So now they are prepared with a little something no matter where they are. 

Of course we did the same kit for the kids for FHE.

Next step is to get HAM and CERT certified.  2015!!  

Just wanted to add one more thing since our island is brimming with natural disasters. The east side of the island has been hit hard by hurricane Iselle, followed by lava flow taking out homes.  We picked up our family and went over with plenty food for the workers and those without power.  Followed by several hours of cleaning up the roads with a chainsaw and machete.  It was hot an humid but felt awesome helping those who had been devastated by the hurricane.

Much love to Erik who always makes me smile.  Aloha.  Katherine
