I compiled a list of items for a car emergency kit and and for a disaster emergency kit. We should carry one of each in both cars. I started thinking about it because the standard disaster preparedness kits (here and there) are never excellent. They sometime contain duplicate or inferior components (for example, the 72 hour survival kit deluxe backpack contains a mediocre first-aid kit and no hand-crank cell-phone charger/flashlight/radio).
I ordered some of the components from Survival Kits Online and from Amazon. I will buy the rest from local stores. I will also need to buy backpacks to store the kits.
In retrospect, I should have ordered the 72 hour survival kit deluxe backpack, and added a decent first-aid kit and the hand-crank cell-phone charger/flashlight/radio. It would have saved much hassle.
Dan came back sick from school. Dr. Lon said that he has the flu, and it is likely to be the swine flu. Dan, Dorit, and I should take Tamiflu tablets to treat and prevent the flu.
Shirley had to cancel her birthday sleepover party because of Dan's illness, and Rena could not attend the two birthday parties she was invited to. Both were upset.
I ordered a hammock for myself today as my father's day gift. It is a quick-dry Hatteras Hammock made in the USA. I also ordered a sturdy stand, a hammock pillow, and a hammock side table. It is more expensive than the Brookstone Heritage Hammock Essentials Package, but I think that my Hatteras Hammock is better made and it is intended for wet conditions.
