72-Hour Food Kit Sample Pack

Over the years I've built about two years of food storage for my family, most of it one can and one bucket at a time, and there are a couple of food kits in my garage too. I haven't bought this particular kit. But I've watched a lot of good people stall out at step one because the whole idea of food storage felt too big.

This is the answer to that. It's three days of food at 2,000+ calories a day, and it costs less than a family dinner out. Put it in the hall closet or the trunk of the car and you've moved from "someday" to "done" on the first piece of your plan. It's also a cheap way to taste the food before you commit to a bigger kit.
