Add This Item to Your 72 Hour Emergency Kit!

September 20, 2017 By: Amycomment

Add this item to your emergency kit!——A flat sheet. Its versatility may surprise you.

Here’s why…A sheet can be:

  • tied up for a wind break
  • wrapped around people for a blanket (though it is light weight, it would still give a sense of comfort and block in some body heat)
  • easily torn up for bandages
  • made into a sling
  • used to create shade
  • cut and used for cloth diapers
  • made into articles of clothing—maybe a shawl, wraps for feet, a hat, or a dress made by draping it
  • used as a body bag (in a super sad situation) 
  • used as stretcher to carry an injured person
  • used to create privacy inside a shelter (seeing pictures of cot after cot in a shelter made this idea come)
  • torn up to use to start a fire
  • made into a flag to signal rescuers
  • placed on the ground to sit on
  • gathered to form a large bag—Santa Claus style

A sheet is light weight and takes up very little space. Use your imagination to come up with other uses.

 Who knows what emergency you may encounter. A small addition to your emergency kit may make all the difference.
