72 hour food kit in a 1/2 gal milk carton

1 small box cereal
1 instant soup
1 5 oz vienna sausage or tuna
2 granola bars
2 hot chocolate packet
2 beef jerkey
12 hard candies
1 sm. pkg raisins
1 zip-lock baggie
4 instant oatmeal
1 8 oz pork & beans
1 5 oz pudding
4 cup-size pkgs gatorade powder
2 packets of pero or postum
10 sticks gum
1 1-oz bag m&ms
2 wet wipes packets
2 plastic spoons

1/2 gal milk cartons are perfect to store food in. The carton is about as bug-proof as you can get. Once it is cleaned, filled, and stapled at top. Top is then sealed in melted paraffin wax, and ready to store. It will even float! All of the above items will fit in a 1/2 gal milk carton.

Remember water is a must!!! Store water near your food kits. try to use instantfood with pull-off lids, or store can opener in carton. Use sealed food products to ensure freshness. Make adjustments to suit your needs and wants.
