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!
