I printed this list and put things in italics that we need or need more of.  We're going to put stars by the things that would be easy to pick up quickly and then we can add more things off the list, besides getting a few extra things at the store when we shop, rotating, etc.
I'll change the italics as we obtain things we need; we will probably skip a few things, like goats, for now. : )  Please make use of this if it is helpful to you.  I got it off of Pinterest.  There are soooo many cool things on there, especially vintage images, helpful ideas, and artful photography and painting, and creative works of all kinds.

Happy Birthday to Melinda!!  
We love you!

That is a very thorough and good list of things to remember! I need to print it out. It is always a struggle to prioritize things that we don't need now but that might be important to have in an emergency. When you get your emergency supplies all organized and set up, you can come do ours!
