Me and my dad are prep-minded, but the rest of the family is not. That's why I'm thinking of making up an all purpose pack for them so if something happens so I know they have something, instead of nothing. So far I came up with a list of stuff I can get easily and that they would be able to use without learning much first. I already have a pair of foil blankets to put in them and I'll be looking for the swim bags today in a school uniform shop. I'll be looking at what else they have in there too. I will also be making up a booklet of basics on how to use the stuff in the pack.

The stationary set has pen, two pencils, pencil sharpener, rubber (eraser), and notebook. The pencils and sharpener combined would make dry kindling, the rubber would probably smoke to make a signal, the notebook is also kindling if needed. The tins are for small items so they aren't rolling around in the bottom of the bag. I haven't put a knife on yet because I think the two people these are for carry some kind of small blade anyway, and I don't really know where to get a decent one easily. Also I already have two foil blankets so that's why they aren't on the list. The watch is to time boiling water more than anything, I have really bad time perception so my tin has a watch and three batteries.

If you see that something important missing feel free to point it out.
I'm still learning and would love some input. :)
