My Mom gave everyone she knew a portable emergency toilet for Christmas a few years ago (I know, don’t you wish YOU were her friend?). She called the toilet a “Groover” because of the grove that was sure to appear on your back side after doing your business on a 5 gallon bucket.
*
The bucket is complete with latex gloves, paper towels, hand sanitizer, 10 “business” bags, rags, toilet paper and Clorox.
*
I used an extra Groover toilet and converted it into a portable emergency Kitchen.
*
My emergency kitchen contains Clorox, plastic utensils, latex gloves, rags, plastic storage containers with lids (to be used as dishes), cups, knifes, 8 Kool-aid packets (with sugar), a dog dish and a bag of dog food.
*
I also keep a new tarp with my 72 hour kits to be used as a makeshift shelter or ground cover if needed.
*
My family’s backpacks, kitchen, Groover, and tarp are all kept in my storage room with a copy of my Payne Family Evacuation Plan taped to the wall above.
