I added three coats of this stuff with a little paintbrush.
For instance instead of saying “You need such-and-such amount of certain specific non-perishable foods”, I just say “food”.You know your area and you know if you’re going to need 72 hours of nourishment while you camp out in a tent or whether you just need a snack while you drive to a relative’s house nearby.
Even if your kit is basic, it’s still so much less to worry about in that moment when you realize you need to leave your home to get somewhere safe, or even if the power’s just gone out and you don’t know how long you’ll be in the dark for.. Click.to print it out!.So, I haven’t finished my kit yet, but I’ve started on it.
I’m just putting everything together into 2 plastic tubs that can easily be tossed into back packs on the way out of the house, or into the trunk of the car.. I’ve put a note in my day timer to add one things to my kit each day, since I don’t really have time to sit down and do it all at once.This is farther along in my kit-making than I’ve ever gotten before!.
Keep in mind that where you decide to keep your kit is important too!
You want it somewhere that you can access easily when it’s dark and the power is out, not up in the back of a bedroom closet on the third floor!The angle of the triangle doesn’t really even matter, just eyeball it with the mitre saw and then finish off the cut with a handsaw.
Do that for both leg pieces..The front pieces are just 1×4 boards cut to 34″ long with little 45 degree triangles notched out of the ends on both sides..
5 minutes later and you have all your pieces cut!.Attach the front apron pieces to the top with some wood glue and nails, then flip the whole thing over.. Chris cut these little triangles out of some scrap wood and used those along with some wood glue and nails to attach the leg pieces on.
