Great post Karen! I'm still thinking and digesting everything but I did 
want to share something with you about storing things in a 5 gal bucket. 
They work great- in most instances. However you need to be able to A. 
keep it in an area where other things do not get piled on top of it, and 
B. - be able to access it in an emergency.  For that reason I have found 
I prefer softsided for traveling in the car/trailer. If, heaven forbid, 
there is a crunch involved with the emergency a soft sided 'bag' can be 
pulled, pushed, dragged through a small opening and a 5gal bucket, well, 
can't.  Just some things to think about!! (for what its worth we store 
emergency supplies at home and at work in 5 gal buckets- because they 
can withstand things falling on them and they make a great seat in a 
prolonged emergency where you might be outside- and they can be used as 
a 'port a potty' if needed.)

Again, great post with lots of things to think about!
