When packing a 72-hour emergency kit, first think who will be carrying this kit. A small child will not be able to carry a large, bulky, over-sized suitcase. Plastic bags do not hold as much, are weak in strength, the handles break and will not protect your kit from the elements. Paper bags rip, a hard case has limitations as to trunk space and carrying ease.
