5. Online Investigations - [ What's This? ] [Top]

Most people don't think about emergencies until it is too late. Let's suppose you
have decided to pack a 72-hour kit. Make a list of the top 10 things you would
pack in the kit and be prepared to explain your reasons for choosing each one.
Would each of these items be easy to find at local stores in your area, or would
you have to special order them online? Now, use the Internet and compare
specific products or emergency kits by two different companies in terms of the
necessity/desirability of each item ("Do I really need this?" or "Would I really enjoy
eating this?"), it quality, and finally its price.
