Prepare-aphernalia: The Backpack Couch

*Special thanks to our sister Society in Oregon, RedCrossPDX, for this awesome blog

One common excuse people give for not having an emergency kit: "I have nowhere to put it."

Okay, fair enough.

The Backpack Couch

Maybe you live in one of those adorable tiny houses or a studio apartment with incredibly cramped closets. Well, my storage-space-seeking friend, worry no more. I give you... The Backpack Couch

Just think of all the prepare-aphernalia you could pack in these pockets! Flashlights, food bars, first aid kits, tools... and if it were me I'd probably tuck a little tin of cougar gold canned cheddar into a special pocket just in case I need my cheese fix while sheltering in place.

So there you go. A kit you can sit on! No closet space required.
