Huricane Survival

My kit is pretty similar to all those listed here but what makes mine unique is the bag. Its not a bag at all. Its a cooler. Reasons why:
1) Its waterproof and bug proof. Can store it in the garage or attic and the contents are not affected.
2) We mostly bug out via car for hurricanes so weight is not an issue.
3) During hurricanes, any cold food has to be kept with ice and what works better for that than a cooler? Before you leave you just transfer the contents of the cooler to a couple of trash bags and fill the cooler with cold stuff and roll.
