Those are the basics for your kit, but here are some other items that you might need:
- A change of clothing, rain gear, and sturdy shoes

Helpful Products...

Most of you know that I sell Tupperware products as a part of my business. I don't want to take advantage of the fear level of today in order to bring gain to myself, but I would like to share some products with all of you. I believe in all of these products as a lifetime user and 2nd generation Tupperware gal. These are some of the products I use everyday that can also be helpful in preparing your home:
