Soda bottle emergency kit ?

**ansley** · 07-19-2011, 10:49 PM

Years ago I saw on line a plan for using 2 liter soda bottles to make an emergency survival kit. It had instant soup mix and hard candy in it. I don't remember what else. I wanted to use this idea with our 4-H group and would appreciate any help. TIA.

to the link that Missy posted, I would add some paracord- ALWAYS comes in handy!, duct tape and some potable water treatment tablets and some hard candy

Thanks guys.

I found those when I was searching last night. This was a project with a 2(?) liter soda bottle that you cut open, put food in and then duck taped back together. You would have to have bottles of water separately. It was more like a 2 or 3 days of food for one person per bottle. The site I found at the time was geared to kids, like scouts or something.

BOV Bottle

For BOV you can fill a plastic 2-liter coke bottle with: cup of rice, cup of beans, cup of dehydrated veg, baggies with: AA batteries, pen light, meds, hard candy, cash, spices, suture kit, wrap the bottle with cord, bungee, gauze, use the empty bottle is a vessel, or fill with hot water for a warmer/heater, on and on... you get my drift. Actual bottle weighs nothing, waterproof, lots of stuff in it, its great. Give one to each family member to keep in their cars.

Found this on a forum

heres an idea that i've thought on--most of the quart and bigger jars of mayonnaise i've seen are plastic so why not clean one out and fill it with the things you need-then take a nylon cord and make a Loop and put the cord across the mouth of the jar and screw the lid down -now you have a loop to hang it from something that way you don't have to use duck tape unless you want to-hope its a good idea---hugs

I've heard of 72-hour food kits in a milk carton with a two-liter bottle filled with water duct taped to the carton.

Perhaps this is what you remember?
