Why I Trust 72 Hours — And You Can Too
When I was in 8th grade, our school dropped us off on an island near Ketchikan, Alaska with only what we could pack into a 1lb coffee can, a few clothing items, and a piece of black visqueen to make a shelter. Just a sleeping bag, some rain gear, and whatever we thought was smart enough to cram into that last bit of space in the can.
No phones. No backup. (A couple of chaperones — but that doesn’t count.)
We spent three days living off what we had. That trip taught me what gear really matters — and how mindset, paired with a little bit of knowledge, is what gets you through. (We’d spent a quarter of the school year learning about tides and what we could safely forage on the beach.)
The 72-hour kit I share here is built from that experience. It’s what I’d hand to a friend. And it’s the best place to start if you want to be prepared without going overboard. Just knowing the basics — and how to use them — goes a long way.
