Need Backpacks now...to start those 72 hour kits

So, now it's time to start our 72 hour kits.  I'm going to call these bug out bags....BOBs.  

We need to find backpacks.  One for each family member.  Thrift stores, salvation armies, are all great places to get used, cheap ones, that are in pretty good shape.  

You can also wait until school supplies go on sale and pick up the bags then.  You may actually already have them laying around the house.  

I've seen people put their 72 hour kits in milk jugs, in boxes, in totes.  I think the backpacks are the best idea, especially if you get the kind that buckles across the chest.  Easier to carry, leave your hands free and harder for someone to take.  

For the kids, this is a great idea as well, if it's on their backs it's easier for them.
