Added this guy Sawyer Products SP182 Squeeze Filter with Faucet Adapter for Boil Alerts https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0797KBCFL?ref=yo_pop_ma_swf to my kit. Have some reusable bags for it on the way as well. Only $10 for the 1500 ml evernew bag if you do the slower shipping option on Amazon.
Been cycling through the canned goods from winter.
Planted strawberries, grapes, and two blueberry bushes that are kicking ass.
Lost two sets of raised beds to frost in April and still haven’t replanted... considering a greenhouse for the backyard for seeds and saplings for next year. I don’t have a ton of space and the HOA might get pissy if it is too noticeable. I feel good about my water options but sustainable food concerns me.
Anyone know a site that can help you visualize the amount of vegetables it would take to sustain a family? Obviously hunting and trapping would supplement.
I've never liked 72hours' kits, but I suppose they are easy if you want a click and forget experience. They do have the best prices on the #5 food grade Mountain House dehydrated food tins though. 20 year shelf life and you can take them camping to rotate your supply. Unfortunately they're packed with sodium.
In the event of a moderate earthquake or prolonged power outage, you can assume that you will be able to return to your home after the utilities have been checked and/or turned off. The key things you need to do are to save what food and water you can. 72 hours is wildly optimistic, in a city supplied by bridges on all sides I'd think the average prepared family should be able to sustain itself for at least a week. Some people buy a big turkey after Christmas and leave it in a deep freeze only to serve as an ice block in case the power fails. Water is the larger concern though.
By that, having a sink adapter for a water filter is invaluable. So is a bath tub waterBOB if you don't have space to stockpile flats of water or aquatainers. Assuming the water still has slight pressure, even if the pipes have cracked and the water is now contaminated with rust or dirt, as long as you can get some of it into a BOB (or even just a bathtub, just, be aware that bathtubs are notoriously filthy), you can treat it. Even toilet water... Having aquatabs, an aforementioned filter or even iodine (5-10 drops per quart) can easily get a bathtub full of dirty water into drinkable condition.
I think people almost fantasize about heading out into a park, setting up camp and defending their homestead. In an emergency event, you will want to be in your home. Authorities want you to be in your home. The backpacks on their websites... they're not going to keep you alive. A proper bugout bag needs to have clothes, money, medication, luxuries to keep children calm, high protein snacks, some water and more money. Any bug out bag will not keep you alive for a week, it's just not possible to carry that much alone. Focus on having enough to keep you alive while not being able to return to your home for 24 hours, because the chances are you will be able to return. In all likeliness you will end up in an emergency shelter which will have food and water, but not the personalized things mentioned above.
So the shitty tube tent, the $1 plastic parka, the gardening gloves, the water juiceboxes.. all that junk in the 72 hour bag.. you may find it useful but in all honesty it's not going to help you for fuck all in 99% of the emergencies we may experience in BC.

It's not what you're describing, but Amazon sells the "faucet adapter kit," basically a squeeze and some plastic tubing, for $25.

Trying to save a couple bucks on a Sawyer... any reason not to buy the faucet adapter version ($22 vs $30) and use smart water bottles instead of the included pouch?

I found it without the bag for about $7 cheaper than with the bag. It includes a faucet adapter too!

If you order the "faucet adapter" option (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0797KBCFL/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_U_hzAyCb2C6SD3Q ), it's only $24. It still comes with the regular Squeeze and the cleaning plunger. If you already have collection bags and such, it's a very affordable option to get a new full size Squeeze.
