52 Prepper Projects - Week 2 Project - Family Emergency Binder
The project for week 2 is a Family Emergency Binder. I had already been working on this before I started working on the 52 Prepper Projects so I had most of it done. I still have more info to find and add but it is a start! I am also keeping the originals in a fire proof safe and several electronic copies on my computer and online. I will be buying a waterproof, shock proof flash drive soon as well.
Some of the info I have included is:
- Emergency contacts and important phone numbers.
- Maps and directions to safe locations.
- Birth certificates.
- Insurance policies.
- Wallet contents.
- Recent photos.
- Plus much more.
I plan to add more info as I locate it as well as a small amount of emergency cash.

This is a great idea, I am going to incorporate this into my disaster binder. I am hoping that I can still use my devices if the grid goes down but if not I will have some of it on paper.

My Disaster Prep (Bug Out) Bag As Of 11-14-13
My Disaster Prep (Bug Out) Bag As Of 11-14-13
This was the project for Week 1 of the 52 Prepper Projects.
This is what I have currently put together for our disaster prep/bug out bags. I am making them for four people, three dogs and six cats. I have a lot, a lot more work to do but I have started. Most of this I just gathered from around the house. I will be ordering some stuff from Amazon over the next few months to complete it.
I am open to suggestions and comments but keep in mind, I have just started. Hopefully a year from now (or less) I will have four fully stacked bags with extra supplies and the pet bags complete. But at this moment I have something that I can grab and go if need be.

Water Supplies: 2 Camelbaks, 1 Lifestraw, 1 Canteen, 4 Bottles of Water.
I have metal water bottles that I will be adding once I clean them. I also will be getting some water treatment tabs.
Food Supplies: 4 Granola Bars.
I have much more but I was feeling lazy and did not want to bring it up from the basement.
First Aid Supplies: I have a plan based off a tackle box that I saw on a blog to make all of this neat and organized. I think I will be getting some smaller kits for the bags instead of one large kit. I just need time and money!
Lighting Supplies: 3 Flashlights, Lots of Chem Lights, and 1 candle.
I will be buying a fire starter kit and some waterproof matches to add to this.
Pet Supplies: Dog and Cat Food and Treats
I would like to pick up some of the vest that you put on the dogs so they can carry their own supplies. I would also like to invest in some collapsible cat carriers.
Misc. Supplies: Bandannas, Duct Tape wrapped around old credit cards, soap, playing cards, tape, parachute cord, sewing kit, multi tool.
Lots of things to add to this. I have a list and I will be adding as I can.
This is what I have so far. It's all in a tote until I get some bags. I have a lot of work ahead of me. I have done a lot of research so hopefully I will not waste too much money getting this stuff together. Any comments and suggestions are appreciated.
From File to Knife (with simple tools)
One of the projects later on in 52 Prepper Projects is to make a knife from a file. Found this to be a great instructable on how to do it.
