ABOUT THE WORKSHOP:

WHAT: Get-home kit build workshop (think of it as a specialized 72 hr kit)

WHY: to have a small “discrete” pack with essentials ready in your vehicle if you were required to walk home from work or other travels.

WHEN: Jan 15th, 2020 at 7pm-8pm at Thomas’ house in Saratoga (address sent to those that signup)

DETAILS: bring a pack you already own or purchase one, bring common house hold items like wet wipes/snacks and other items you’d want in your pack.

Thomas will present for 15-20 minute discussion on “get home kits” (likely more used and more important than a 72 hour kit.) safe water, communication, safety and self-care.

After the discussion, we will build for 20 minutes (bring common house hold items to assemble in your kit/pack and my 10 donated prepper items).

Last 20 minutes will be questions/collaboration.
