Emmi must be from cold country. I suggest you purchase clothing according to the area of the country you live in. If you are in a hot humid climate you want cotton. Cotton draws moisture from your body and as the air passes through your damp clothing it will cool you down. Polyester does not breathe and will cause you to sweat even more leading quickly to over heating, very dangerous. Wool and man-made fibers are perfect for cold climates and rainy environments as wool will continue to keep you warm even when wet. Just a thought on clothing. Emmi must be from cold country.

Most people have nothing so this is a good way to start a preparedness mind frame. Once you look at what you don't have you will continuously see gaps in your preparedness.

Cotton will suck the heat from your body if it gets wet and it takes forever to dry. Thermofleece is always a great bet from that perspective. Warm, lightweight to carry, and if it gets wet, you can ring it out almost completely dry. I got some "brushed" polyester pants from lands end that are super comfortable to wear and they dry in an instant. Camping with a little hiking now and then is good way to get practice at organizing yourselves around surviving on what you carry for 72 hours. It's also a great cheap family getaway.

This is so important. Despite the government's ready campaign (www.ready.gov), most Americans haven’t taken steps to prepare for a disaster. We all should. Thank you. This is so important.
