I have a 55 gallon garbage can near the door of the garage that I can slide out the front quickly that contains a whole bunch of stuff, from changes of clothes to food, water, tarps, the works.

DHS can't say this, but the emphasis on this kit is 'Go'. In a major emergency there is going to be displacement. Look at what a blackout did to NYC.

I'm going to recheck everything this weekend and beef up what I have in both cars.

I have a 55 gallon garbage can near the door of the garage that I can slide out the front quickly that contains a whole bunch of stuff, from changes of clothes to food, water, tarps, the works.

A nice idea. And its waterproof as well.

My main 3-day kit is in a big rolling plastic tool box, and I've got an old SWAT harness with most of the small items in pouches. Everything's mobile, everything's on wheels on or a load-bearing harness. I can load everything in my 3-day kit into the car in less than 2 minutes, and can load extended-stay stuff (camping gear, extra food and water, tools, etc.) in less than 5.

True. I'm already in the country, but keep everything mobile just in case.

I use an old 30mm ammo can for my car kit. Food, water, shelter, and stuff packed in a space smaller than a loaf of bread.
