If you didn’t assemble your 72 hour emergency kit on your own, you will most likely have to add some things to it like the clothing of your choice.  Many people, like my parents, will take the easy route and just buy some cheap clothing, probably sweats and be done.  If you truly want to be prepared, you need clothing for both the summer and the winter.

Remember, if there is some sort of emergency or disaster, your family will already be stressed and upset, the last thing you want is not be prepared for the temperatures of the season.  Your goal with these kits is not only to have them keep you alive, but comfortable.  You should definitely have some sweats in your kits for the cold temperatures.  But, if it is hot outside, you will probably want light t-shirts and gym shorts available as well.  You might also consider flip flops, hats, sunglasses, and maybe a light coat if you can fit one.

A true survival kit is one that will help you stay alive in any condition.  You need to prepare yourself for all types of conditions and you will have no need to worry in times of emergency.
