52 weeks.
One year.
A shitload of stuff.
Recently my work gave each of us employees a handout containing a list of items to gather into an emergency preparedness kit. As I read through the list the entire rest of the staff meeting faded into murmurs as my brain tried desperately to comprehend the awesomeness I was holding. God gave Moses The Ten Commandments and he has given me this!
52 WEEKS TO BEING EMERGENCY PREPARED!
The list is 52 bullet-pointed suggestions for what to put into an emergency kit. The idea is to complete one of the bullet-points each week and after a year you have a completed kit. The suggestions range from items you would expect (water, food, blankets, etc) to ones that seem pointless (vitamin supplements, board games and more) to the completely bizarre (shaving cream!).
I started thinking about how much it would cost to put all these items together and how much space it would take up (not to mention the weight) and I wondered if this would not be the most useless and unwieldy emergency kit ever devised.
There is only one way to find out!
