Evacuation Kits--Clothing

There are many different items of clothing that need to be considered when making an evacuation kit. There are items that are needed for rain, heat, cold, colder yet (snow), high wind, and then washing--your body and your clothes. You may be in a group of people, need a bath, and need to maintain a bit of modesty, with only one body of water, such as a lake or river, to get clean in--so a bathing suit would be handy. Other items to consider would be:

--T-shirts
--long sleeved shirts
--shorts
--tough work pants, belt
--light jacket, rain coat, poncho, windbreaker
--socks (lots) [wool would be a good choice]
--sock liner (thin, wicking)
--undergarments
--work boots, boot grease, tennis shoes
--work gloves
--stocking cap [wool would be a good choice]
--bandanna, ski mask, hat
--washcloth, towel
--laundry soap
--plunge clothes washer
--small scrub brush
