I would add a tracker to each backpack just in case you get separated or somebody gets lost. I would also add hair ties because you never know what you might need to do and having your hair in the way makes everything harder. Plus they can be used to seal bags and as first-aid in some situations. And either a lighter or matches so you can light a fire for warmth, to get somebody's attention, or if it comes down to it to cook food.
I would add: Astma inhaler Mosquito spray Thermometer A little chewing gum packed helps for stress you may have then Self defense tool just a simple thing what can protect you A belt can always be handy And the last thing i would add is a old towel you can use it for almost everything BTW love you're family I've been watching you for a while now but just realized I wasn't subscribed yet🤦♀️ love you all keep going with these fun and learn full videos😍❤️
What they didn't add that I would recommend: 1. You did add outfits, but having 2 of each undergarment is a good idea (camisoles, bras, underwear, socks) 2. Trackers so if the family is split up, they can be found 3. Lotion, dry skin is annoying 4. Mini deodorant, sometimes we all smell 5. Hair bands, they can keep items shut or stuck together or be used to pull back your hair 6. A lighter (only for adults) to make fires to cook food, to keep warm, or to signal for help 7. Tissues, to clean up messes and to wipe our noses 8. A battery operated lantern, sometimes we need light when it's dark 9. Tick remover, ticks are everywhere 10. Bug repellant 11. Baby powder for rashes on any part of the body 12. Melatonin (sleep gummies) 13. Tide to go wipes and pen (accidents happen) 14. Thermometer (to detect fevers) 15.

Wow your 72 hour kits are awesome! What I like best about this video is the example you are being to be obedient to the things you’ve been taught. Hopefully your family will never have to be in a situation to have to use these bags but if you are, being prepared is a great way to be. You are teaching that to each of your children and as someone who found your you tube page, I appreciate the examples you are sharing of being intentional in your life’s, prioritizing and sharing. Thank you! Keep it up, it’s a good work! I’d add tick remover. Snake bite kit. Redmond clay Essential oils Blister kits Baby shampoo Hair ties for girls Some small toys for the little ones-maybe hot wheel car Melatonin Dramamine Baby powder-helps with rashes Eye drops Allergy medicine
I love how you think ahead and for everything!! People don't like to think of these things but it really is important! As we have all learned...anything can happen!! I think I would add a windproof lighter, roll of toilet paper and some candles. The candle wax can also double as a fire starter. The toilet paper could also and be used as Kleenex too. You might not want to put the lighters in the littles bags but I think the adults and older kids might find them useful. Thank you for all you do!
For the adults, I would add copy of drivers license, credit card, social security, insurance documents and cash. I would put these in a ziploc or waterproof container. I’d also add matches or a lighter. This video was great! You definitely had items I hadn’t thought of. Thank you!
I’d probably add like walk-talkies, mosquito spray or just a normal bug spray. By the way I’m not in the competition live too far away sadly! But congratulations for the ones that gets to be the winners!
i would also add... - bug spray - just incase you have to sleep outside (like where there's bugs) - sunshades/visors - no one likes sun in their eyes! - extra socks/undergarments - always helps to have a few extras :) - portable sewing kit - (great if anyone's socks or masks rip) - 4 in 1 shower gel (hypoallergenic) - it's nice to stay clean :) also, it takes up less space in your bag - shower caps - if you don't want your hair to get wet; or if you are scared bugs will crawl on your hair - lotion/healing ointment (such as neosporin) - if you are in a dry area, these help for cuts & cracked skin writing everyone's names in sharpie on the inside of their backpacks helps too - just incase you have special items (ex: medication, vitamins, spare glasses :)
A Hammock so you have a bed and so you don't get bitten by bugs or anything like spiders and snakes and it's comfy and it will keep the wind off you so you dont get hypothermia and you can fit two people so you don't have to spend as much money and it can compact easy so it can fit in your bags
I would love to have a mini bible with me! I believe it’s important to be able to relax and receive comfort from reading and remembering the promises of God in scary situations! 🤎 I also think it would be nice for the kids to have one small toy or booklet from the dollar store to give them something fun to keep them occupied ☺️💕
I would add a waterproof piece with some important phone numbers, for the kid's backpacks the number of their parents and grandparents or other trusted persons, just in case the family gets separated in a chaotic situation.
Love that you made this video! We added the Disaster Deck to ours. We had a winter storm last year that left us without power for a week as well as massive forest fires going on around us which caused us to be on standby for evacuation. In addition, we also had a heat wave with 120 degree weather for a week. Other than forest fires, these are all things that we don't normally have in the PNW. Our kids kept getting nervous about remembering what they needed to do for each type of emergency. So we found the Disaster Deck to add to each 72 hour kit. It's a pocket size emergency survival cards with Instructions for disasters. After reviewing them as a family, we added them to their bags and they are much more comfortable than before on what to do for an emergency. We also labeled names on each bag to make it easier for them to know which bag is theirs in case they panic and grabbed the wrong one.
One thing I would add is a Bible. Instead of worrying about whenever there’s an emergency, I can just read the Bible and feel safer in the name of the Lord! Awesome video!
I'd definitely add: Matches, Lighters and even some coal. Perhaps with the tent I'd add a small carry stove with small bottle of gas. In case you need extra heat, cooking, heating water... As well as plastic bags. They always come handy. In fact I'd store the clothes and everything in the plastic bags (even double bag the clothes / shoes and have double socks.) or inside giant plastic bag inside the backpack, incase it got wet or you neededed to cross water / swim. Or heavy rain... Perhaps a rubbish bag or two would help as well. Clear plastic bags can also be used to cook in over an open flame. ♥ Loving these kits. Especially that wind up radio, simply brilliant. Makes me feel like I should & would need to make one in case of a tsunami, hurricane, cyclone or fire warning here.
I would add a timer to keep track off time so if they are lost and they need to know if they should stay at the place or see if they have more time to find maybe a safer place when there's light outside
You guys definitely need to add a power bank so that if your phone dies or something you can just charge it through the power bank and some money in each kids bag and maybe an umbrella can come handy while there is a down pour of rain
Tiffany you are a super mom! Your super powers are a Faith based life loving God, loving and caring for each other, responsibilities, rules, priorities, mixed with hope, fun, preparedness and joy. This is such a gift to your family. Blessings to all!
I so agree! She is such a role model! I don't know if I want 16 kids (haha) but I defiantly want a ton of kids so this channel helps me prepare (even though I am 14 years old tehe). God bless you too Mary and have a great day!
Me and my family just made 72 hour kits and something I would add is long lasting meals we added tuna fish because it dosnt go bad very quickly we also added things like beef jerkey ( yeah it might get hard but it does give you protein and fills you up!) 😋
One item that I would have is a hair tie or an extra pair of glasses, for me personally I'm always need my hair up , and I can't see without my glasses so I need glasses to add to my bag. Just in case I didn't have my glasses on in the time that I needed to grab my bag! I just love your guys's videos, you guys do such a good job on them and always make people that are down a lot more happy, Thanks for all the happiness you put out into the world! Good Luck to everyone that try to get into the contest! @NotEnoughNelsons
Items we thought of was a hat for the sun or cold, small games that are packable, cash (just in case), walkie talkies.. We just love your family. My daughter and I recently found your youtube channels and love watching all of the Nelsons. Thank you for sharing your family and especially your tips to all of us moms. Would love a chance to win the survival backpack but am happy for whoever gets it also :)
What a great idea!!! The one item I would add would be CASH. We recently just had a huge storm and we lost power everywhere…. Most gas stations were out of power except we found one… and it was cash only since everything electrical was down. So that’s something I would add…. I LOVE the idea of those straws that you can drink dirty water with. How cool. I wish I had spare money to do this, but maybe I’ll start slowly buying the most important items and as I get spare money, keep adding to the bag. This must have been a fortune for such a large family! But you’re super smart to do this because you never know…. This would make a great Christmas gift to a loved one. Thanks for sharing this video.
I wold add a box because I can use it for my head for not sun burnt on the face and I can use it like if it is to sunny for you can do anything with a box or sum cardboard
This is such a smart and clever way to prepare for an emergency I would probably add an instant ice pack for sprains, strains, aches, stings and overheating by reducing swelling and alleviating . I love your clever hacks and ideas 😘💗
I would definitely add a solar powered power pack for charging electronics. If you were to be in a situation where this kit would be appropriate then a power pack would be great! It could keep your phone charged so that you could keep checking updates or reach family members with no power.
I would probably pack for the younger kids a stuffed animal of a comfort thing so it they are very nervous they can look at or hug it 🥰 also love you guys
One thing that I would add is something that our teacher always reminds us to include in our emergency bags are my important documents like birth cerficates, etc. 😀
I have all of our important information like this in a binder and have it where I can grab and go. I got the idea from a Red Cross worker and it is a lifesaver
Amazing ideas of things to include! As part of the parent’s bags I would include a binder of important documents, and for the kids a laminated current family picture (updated when you update the food) so that if kids are too young/ scared the pictures can help authorities more easily identify safe family members. Also fire starter (I fill old toilet paper rolls with dryer lint) and waterproof matches or lighter. Thanks so much for sharing what your family puts in your 72 hour kits!
I would love to have a 72 hour survival kit for my daughter and I. You really thought of everything but I would add a hat and a pair of socks. I've been a big supporter for a long time now. I never miss a video! Subscribed and liked 👍 Love you all ❤
I would add a list with family phone numbers or emergency numbers for each kid in case they need to call someone or ask for help, maybe I would even add a picture of the family so if they get lost they can ask for help ❤️ You could also add a clock so you don’t lose track of time I love how you plan all of this in case and emergency ever happens! You’re great parents!
I love how organized this is! My aunt tried this with her kids but they didn't end up finishing cause my cousins were messing around too much. This is so amazing, if I don't win the giveaway I will definitely make a couple of these for my family! A few things I would add are toilet paper, a watch, and spare cash.
A sewing kit, a fire starter, a small waterproof map of local area, a waterproof deck of cards, for adults a small survival book, a laminated card with important phone numbers and addresses (nobody knows phone numbers anymore because they are stored in our phones), a chocolate bar because it lifts spirits in a stressful situation, laminated photo copies of ID, SS card, Birth Certificate. Container of a few instant tea, coffee, small hard candies for blood sugar. A small fold up knife saw (never know what you need to cut yourself out of or for cutting wood etc for building shelter.
Living in Louisiana we have had our share of disasters the past few years... I would add bug spray, sunscreen, Female items, and identification cards for little kids who may not know parents or medical information in case you are separated. And Please don’t forget the furry family members pack them emergency kits kept inside or strapped to a travel cages ( depending on storage) ❤️❤️❤️ love love love your videos
I would add a list of medications and a list of family medical history to each pack. Someone will always ask about any medical history and any allergies. I would also add contact information to each pack, in case of seperation. Love your program.
I think a great thing to have is Mountain House freeze dried food that has a 30-year shelf life and a Jetboil to boil the water needed to cook the freeze dried food. I started to stock up on the food. I did try some and they taste good. Thank you for giving subscribers a chance to win a emergency kit.
Two more things I would add to the survival kit is $40 cash each, and a survival guide to help remind the kids about certain thing like starting a fire or emergency aids. Adding a pocket sized bible would also be important.
An item I would include in the older kids/adults is a manual food can opener, one or two flares, a garbage bag (or a few) in each kits maybe. You guys are great preparing these and helping people with ideas of what they should have, especially with a family this large!
If there was one thing that I would add to this emergency kit that is not already in it would be something called a shenis 😂 if you’re not sure what that is it’s basically a funnel that helps girls use the restroom where it’s not so convenient for us!💕
One item that would be a must add for me personally is my EpiPen. I would add this because sadly I am allergic to milk and peanuts which result in serious allergic reactions and hospitalization if I come in contact. Epinephrine helps to halt the allergic reaction and it helps to reopen the victim's airway that the anaphylactic reaction has swollen shut, which mine does. Not including this in an emergency kit for myself would be a serious hazard and you never know when this kind of stuff can happen. Adding to this, even if you are not aware of having any allergies, this would still be a useful thing to pack because you could possibly discover that you are allergic to something in an emergency, plus if you are with someone who encounters a situation when they or somebody needs an EpiPen you can provided them with one and possibly save that person's life.
One thing I would add is some kind of fire starter whether it’s matches, fire starter kits or something of that sort. There are some wonderful ideas in here. Thank you for this video!
I would add a lighter or matches, a few dehydrated meals, toilet paper & definitely a big ziplock with some dog food... for my dog. lol Everything you added were such good ideas! We just got some rice, beans & pasta and some mylar bags, oxygen absorbers & 5 gallon buckets to start preparing for emergency food. Just need to learn how to seal it correctly. I would LOVE to win your backpack!
For adults and teenagers I would add an emergency credit card. Those who get one will partner up with 1 or 2 younger children, but the oldest has it in their bag. Love you guys so much!❤😊
I would definitely have something that means the most to me and my family like my family heirloom and or our family picture! It just means the most to us and everyone will be happy!
The kids who are new to periods wouldn't be comfortable with the menstrual cup and in emergencies I don't think they want to learn how to use it its not great for the little guys
Not everyone would be comfortable with using a cup. Some might not even be comfortable using a tampon. Trying to learn to use something as sensitive as that would just cause more stress to the situation. I get what your saying though maybe for the ones who can use it that would be good.
When I pack for emergency purposes. I find it helps to have a list of emergency techniques such as how to start a fire what to do if someone's choking or how to do CPR. But put that on a laminate piece of paper so that way it stays dry at all times.
Water bottles will be AMAZING and also sometimes some people will need sleep so I recommend a pillow and some cards for entertainment ❤❤❤❤❤❤😍😍😍🤩🤩😘😘😘😚☺️☺️
Just a couple of tips that I’ve been taught growing up 1. NEVER write down where you’re going or the directions to get there. Someone can steal it and then it could get dangerous if it’s a life or death situation in the first place. 2. You should have maps and a backup plan incase of any emergency. You can use the maps to find where you’re going but make sure not to mark where you’re going or your route on the map. 3. Make sure you pack shoes that are broken in and sturdy. If you suddenly have to walk several miles in a day you don’t want to have shoes that you’re breaking in. Thick socks also help a lot!
really good tips but I don't know why when I read this I felt a bad feeling in my gut that something isn't right. I'm just going to ignore it but anyways thank you for these tips.
I would throw in some extra clothes just in case and maybe also throw in something the kids will be entertained with like a board game or something. Also might as well get a tent just in case. Also add some extra money because you might need it. That’s some of other stuff I will add in a emergency kit but you guys did great 👍🏻.
I would add MREs those are great and last for days/yrs they have a shelf live of 10yrs. Also walki-talkies and along with emergency kits I would train the kids to always have a battle buddy and what to do if they get separated from the group. Love that you guys are always prepared for everything and anything.
a couple items i would include that I can think of are - mosquito spray - anti infection/bacterial cream - soap - plastic bags - lighters - money - passports / IDs (never know) I love your videos so much ! always brings me joy 🥰🥰
My mom has us do these and talk about these all the time. Being at college it’s a bit stressful to store this, but one thing I’d add is a list of allergies, phone numbers to call, or medications and what they treat. That way if you get separated you can survive and call someone if necessary. Love all these videos
Love this! And I love how you included the kids, and they helped pack their own bags. I would definitely add a small Bible. Something you just need to spend time with the Lord, it will help in those times when things get too crazy. Reminder to just focus on Jesus in that time. But I would also add some matches,in case you don't don't how to start a fire,water proof socks, adult might need to bring a small axe to chop wood, and maybe some kind of canned foods. Also a map, sleeping bags that attach to the backpack,bar soap so you csn wash hands,yourself and utensils.
As someone from AZ I'd add bug repellents, a hat (for sun protection), and a battery operated fan as intense heat is usually our biggest environmental enemy during a disater.
one item i would add it sunscreen! just as it gets cold it gets really hot, and protecting your skin is a big deal! i would love to receive a bag because as an only child i think it would be a really easy source to grab and go and know i have everything i need to help! Love this idea, if i dont win i would definatly love to do this myself
as a diabetic, i have to check my sugar and take medication. i would also suggest any diabetic keep an extra blood sugar kit in their 72 hour bag and 72 hours worth of the medication. obviously it might expire before you need it, so update those meds accordingly in case you don't have time to grab your everyday kits and meds before evacuating! and of course this goes for any other illnesses as well!
Omg I’m also a type 1 diabetic and I’ve been trying to find someone giving advice on one of these for my supplies, I’m on the Omnipod 5 and my insulin needs to be refrigerated What I currently have: -Spare charger for my phone and Omnipod -meter set -2 spare omnipods -spare dexcom sensor -syringes -ketone strips -glucose tablets -alcohol pads
I would add a list of everything that is in the bag and how many of each item. Then laminate the list and have a white board marker so you can keep track of what you have used and how much, but to also check that you still have everything. I'd also include a Sharpie or a small labeler so you can label what belongs to who so nothing gets mixed up or argued over.
I would add a bug repellent, portable charger, and maybe something small that everyone could pick out to keep everyone happy. I think 72 hour kits are amazing and I love how you are always prepared for everything!
I would add for the little kids a animal teddy and maybe for the older kids I would put a fully charged portable charger. Your videos are amazing love the Chanel so much👏👏😀
Each pack already has the most important factor: love and care. The only thing I might add is an identification tag on each pack. Just in case anyone gets lost, especially the young ones, a tag with their names and a phone number for an emergency contact would be useful!
I would recommend just taking as much packaging off as usual so that in an emergency you don’t have to try and open everything, especially since so much packaging requires a knife or scissors to open :)
From Canada! So I would 100% be adding lots of warm gear. Insulted mittens, toque, scarf and fuzzy socks. Would also be ideal to keep a winter jacket near the bag or the door depending on the time of year!
I would add more stuff like beanies, scarfs,a toy each, maybe a small pillow, a bowl so if you see any animal in danger you can give it some water, a book to read, some maths, a mini arcade (it looks like a box (very small) and very fun), a bigger bottle of water and a jacket or coat
I would add po up storage bins witch sounds wierd but could be helpful and I would add a pack of matches in case it is cold out side and a coarse I would make a extra backpack in case someone misplaced there’s
The things I’d have are; Long lasting radio, SOS signal, having a book on how to survive the wilderness, having extra clothes, comfort things (stuffed animals, blankets, pillows, etc), toiletries are a must, a couple of phones (if one dies, I have a back up, multiple battery packs and just having extra supplies if I need anything. Thanks so much for everything! Thanks for what you do for us and thanks for looking out for us! Love you guys so much!
You should maybe add a Wally talky just in case someone gets lost or maybe a hairbrush or mirror and also maybe vaccination cards if you guys took the vaccine.
i'd probably add: a life jacket, mosquito spray, walkie talkies, sleeping bag, and a portable charger. i really hope you guys don't have to use the kits because i don't want anything bad to happen to you guys stay safe ily!
I would add some bug spray or even a reusable water bottle, not just a plastic one. I might also add a fire starter for the teens and adults because you might really want that in an emergency! Then for Dad I would do one of those foldable shovels, we always keep one in my dads truck. Also even though you did a poncho a umbrella might be really helpful for if it is hot, rainy, snowy, or something else. Then also something a little bit more expensive would be a portable charger for your phone because you really don’t want to waist the radios life if can. Then even a little book that is just a few pages long of things to do in an emergency for everyone because it would help me to stay focused on what had to get done and it would help me to not go into full panic mode. :) Also pepper spry for the teens and adults could really save your life if you needed it to.
I would add a tracker to each backpack just in case you get separated or somebody gets lost. I would also add hair ties because you never know what you might need to do and having your hair in the way makes everything harder. Plus they can be used to seal bags and as first-aid in some situations. And either a lighter or matches so you can light a fire for warmth, to get somebody's attention, or if it comes down to it to cook food.
That’s a good idea

She said 1 not 7
@@belugathewhale6780 that's OK
@@trinityclaridge4863 If she wanted to win they wouldn’t pick her because they said one
What they didn't add that I would recommend:
1. You did add outfits, but having 2 of each undergarment is a good idea (camisoles, bras, underwear, socks)
2. Trackers so if the family is split up, they can be found
3. Lotion, dry skin is annoying
4. Mini deodorant, sometimes we all smell
5. Hair bands, they can keep items shut or stuck together or be used to pull back your hair
6. A lighter (only for adults) to make fires to cook food, to keep warm, or to signal for help
7. Tissues, to clean up messes and to wipe our noses

Wow your 72 hour kits are awesome!
What I like best about this video is the example you are being to be obedient to the things you’ve been taught. Hopefully your family will never have to be in a situation to have to use these bags but if you are, being prepared is a great way to be. You are teaching that to each of your children and as someone who found your you tube page, I appreciate the examples you are sharing of being intentional in your life’s, prioritizing and sharing.
Thank you!
Keep it up, it’s a good work!
I’d add
tick remover.
Snake bite kit.
Redmond clay
Essential oils
Blister kits
Baby shampoo
Hair ties for girls
Some small toys for the little ones-maybe hot wheel car
Melatonin
Dramamine
Baby powder-helps with rashes
Eye drops
Allergy medicine
Hair ties for girls that is a bit sexist boys can wear hair ties to
,why r you 72
I love how you think ahead and for everything!! People don't like to think of these things but it really is important! As we have all learned...anything can happen!! I think I would add a windproof lighter, roll of toilet paper and some candles. The candle wax can also double as a fire starter. The toilet paper could also and be used as Kleenex too. You might not want to put the lighters in the littles bags but I think the adults and older kids might find them useful. Thank you for all you do!
For the adults, I would add copy of drivers license, credit card, social security, insurance documents and cash. I would put these in a ziploc or waterproof container. I’d also add matches or a lighter.
This video was great! You definitely had items I hadn’t thought of. Thank you!
SMART
I would add a iPhone charger because if you can’t get a hold of anyone any other way then you can call 911 if it is a emergancey
Deodorant 😂
@@Ellie-ui9qt I also agree with that 😂😂
yup but they are not in the back pack because they need those items on them
NAYVEE is Cute young lady
I’d add:
Mosquito repellent-Prevents mosquito bites.
Asthma inhaler-you’ll never know when you need this.
Thermometer-Easy to detect fevers
not everyone needs the inhaler
I’d probably add like walk-talkies, mosquito spray or just a normal bug spray. By the way I’m not in the competition live too far away sadly! But congratulations for the ones that gets to be the winners!
i would also add...
- bug spray - just incase you have to sleep outside (like where there's bugs)
- sunshades/visors - no one likes sun in their eyes!
- extra socks/undergarments - always helps to have a few extras :)
- portable sewing kit - (great if anyone's socks or masks rip)
- 4 in 1 shower gel (hypoallergenic) - it's nice to stay clean :) also, it takes up less space in your bag
- shower caps - if you don't want your hair to get wet; or if you are scared bugs will crawl on your hair
- lotion/healing ointment (such as neosporin) - if you are in a dry area, these help for cuts & cracked skin
writing everyone's names in sharpie on the inside of their backpacks helps too - just incase you have special items (ex: medication, vitamins, spare glasses :)
its an emergency not a camping trip
@@dorathehomebody886 lol ikr

A Hammock so you have a bed and so you don't get bitten by bugs or anything like spiders and snakes and it's comfy and it will keep the wind off you so you dont get hypothermia and you can fit two people so you don't have to spend as much money and it can compact easy so it can fit in your bags
I would love to have a mini bible with me! I believe it’s important to be able to relax and receive comfort from reading and remembering the promises of God in scary situations! 🤎 I also think it would be nice for the kids to have one small toy or booklet from the dollar store to give them something fun to keep them occupied ☺️💕

I would add a waterproof piece with some important phone numbers, for the kid's backpacks the number of their parents and grandparents or other trusted persons, just in case the family gets separated in a chaotic situation.
Yess that’s a smart idea
Same
That's actually so smart thank you for adding this!
That’s a very good idea to add

Love that you made this video! We added the Disaster Deck to ours. We had a winter storm last year that left us without power for a week as well as massive forest fires going on around us which caused us to be on standby for evacuation. In addition, we also had a heat wave with 120 degree weather for a week. Other than forest fires, these are all things that we don't normally have in the PNW. Our kids kept getting nervous about remembering what they needed to do for each type of emergency. So we found the Disaster Deck to add to each 72 hour kit. It's a pocket size emergency survival cards with Instructions for disasters. After reviewing them as a family, we added them to their bags and they are much more comfortable than before on what to do for an emergency. We also labeled names on each bag to make it easier for them to know which bag is theirs in case they panic and grabbed the wrong one.
One thing I would add is a Bible. Instead of worrying about whenever there’s an emergency, I can just read the Bible and feel safer in the name of the Lord! Awesome video!
That is smart
ѕαmє
Great idea!!!
Jesus’s died on the cross for you and to go to heaven you have to accept him as your savior to
I’m so thankful that I have 🙌
I'd definitely add: Matches, Lighters and even some coal. Perhaps with the tent I'd add a small carry stove with small bottle of gas. In case you need extra heat, cooking, heating water... As well as plastic bags. They always come handy. In fact I'd store the clothes and everything in the plastic bags (even double bag the clothes / shoes and have double socks.) or inside giant plastic bag inside the backpack, incase it got wet or you neededed to cross water / swim. Or heavy rain... Perhaps a rubbish bag or two would help as well. Clear plastic bags can also be used to cook in over an open flame. ♥ Loving these kits. Especially that wind up radio, simply brilliant. Makes me feel like I should & would need to make one in case of a tsunami, hurricane, cyclone or fire warning here.
How long did it take to write this
I would add a timer to keep track off time so if they are lost and they need to know if they should stay at the place or see if they have more time to find maybe a safer place when there's light outside
You guys definitely need to add a power bank so that if your phone dies or something you can just charge it through the power bank and some money in each kids bag and maybe an umbrella can come handy while there is a down pour of rain
Good idea power banks, awesome
They put ponchos instead of umbrellas
@@emmyb5219 well ponchos would keep ur clothes dry not ur hair but the rest of u and umbrellas would be harder to store and more expensive
Power banks are also great to have laying around in case of a black out
Yes! Thats really a good idea💡
Tiffany you are a super mom! Your super powers are a Faith based life loving God, loving and caring for each other, responsibilities, rules, priorities, mixed with hope, fun, preparedness and joy. This is such a gift to your family. Blessings to all!
I so agree! She is such a role model! I don't know if I want 16 kids (haha) but I defiantly want a ton of kids so this channel helps me prepare (even though I am 14 years old tehe). God bless you too Mary and have a great day!
@@FlourishInFaith aw, thank you, I'm a mom of 5 grown children. Take care!
Me and my family just made 72 hour kits and something I would add is long lasting meals we added tuna fish because it dosnt go bad very quickly we also added things like beef jerkey ( yeah it might get hard but it does give you protein and fills you up!) 😋
It will go bad
@@editscreatah4980 no.
You make it so fun
One item that I would have is a hair tie or an extra pair of glasses, for me personally I'm always need my hair up , and I can't see without my glasses so I need glasses to add to my bag. Just in case I didn't have my glasses on in the time that I needed to grab my bag! I just love your guys's videos, you guys do such a good job on them and always make people that are down a lot more happy, Thanks for all the happiness you put out into the world! Good Luck to everyone that try to get into the contest! @NotEnoughNelsons
Items we thought of was a hat for the sun or cold, small games that are packable, cash (just in case), walkie talkies.. We just love your family. My daughter and I recently found your youtube channels and love watching all of the Nelsons. Thank you for sharing your family and especially your tips to all of us moms. Would love a chance to win the survival backpack but am happy for whoever gets it also :)
What a great idea!!! The one item I would add would be CASH. We recently just had a huge storm and we lost power everywhere…. Most gas stations were out of power except we found one… and it was cash only since everything electrical was down. So that’s something I would add…. I LOVE the idea of those straws that you can drink dirty water with. How cool.
I wish I had spare money to do this, but maybe I’ll start slowly buying the most important items and as I get spare money, keep adding to the bag. This must have been a fortune for such a large family! But you’re super smart to do this because you never know…. This would make a great Christmas gift to a loved one. Thanks for sharing this video.
I wold add a box because I can use it for my head for not sun burnt on the face and I can use it like if it is to sunny for you can do anything with a box or sum cardboard
This is so clever specially for emergencies!! I would add a hat and thick socks to keep warm or little jacket too
I would bring a XXXL😁
Gas mask were a smart idea! Never would of thought of that. Love how you care so much of ur family:)
ظ😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘👄
I would add a stocking hat or extra pair of socks in case of an emergency during colder weather!
Smart
Jesus loves u
@@PeyPey2010 Jesus love u
This is such a smart and clever way to prepare for an emergency I would probably add an instant ice pack for sprains, strains, aches, stings and overheating by reducing swelling and alleviating .
I love your clever hacks and ideas 😘💗
Your so late Oml but same
I would add military meals!! Congrats to everyone, God bless!
That's a great idea! God bless you Sheilah and have a wonderful day!💕✝
I believe she keeps a stock of 6 months worth of military type meals.
I would definitely add a solar powered power pack for charging electronics. If you were to be in a situation where this kit would be appropriate then a power pack would be great! It could keep your phone charged so that you could keep checking updates or reach family members with no power.
I would probably pack for the younger kids a stuffed animal of a comfort thing so it they are very nervous they can look at or hug it 🥰 also love you guys
Soo true!
Good idea but it’s an emergency bag and you don’t need that it just takes up space
@@laurasheehan4453 I know I meant more something that would fit in your pocket size 🥰
@@freyarose8279this is my fav comment ever!
I’m your big is fan
I love watching yall videos they entertain me so much
One thing that I would add is something that our teacher always reminds us to include in our emergency bags are my important documents like birth cerficates, etc. 😀
I think you would need those documents in things that are not emergencies but I would suggest you put it in a bag that would be easy to grab
I have all of our important information like this in a binder and have it where I can grab and go. I got the idea from a Red Cross worker and it is a lifesaver
Amazing ideas of things to include! As part of the parent’s bags I would include a binder of important documents, and for the kids a laminated current family picture (updated when you update the food) so that if kids are too young/ scared the pictures can help authorities more easily identify safe family members. Also fire starter (I fill old toilet paper rolls with dryer lint) and waterproof matches or lighter. Thanks so much for sharing what your family puts in your 72 hour kits!
Yeha
One item you should think about is giving everyone $20 just to have in case stores are open but only except cash.
That’s a great idea!! 💡
Cash is smart.
thats a great idea! 💡 ❤️
Ye but 400 dollars is quite a bit of money to be carrying around and some of it with quite young kids
I mean, I am sure Tiffany and Benji plus some of the older kids who are adults will have money in case they absolutely need it.
Love your videos and shorts I will like every single thing
I would love to have a 72 hour survival kit for my daughter and I. You really thought of everything but I would add a hat and a pair of socks. I've been a big supporter for a long time now. I never miss a video! Subscribed and liked 👍
Love you all ❤
I would probably add a pack of playing cards to help with the tention of the emergency! Xx
I would add a list with family phone numbers or emergency numbers for each kid in case they need to call someone or ask for help, maybe I would even add a picture of the family so if they get lost they can ask for help ❤️
You could also add a clock so you don’t lose track of time
I love how you plan all of this in case and emergency ever happens! You’re great parents!
You guys are amazing
The picture and phone numbers is a really good idea
@@mamiedition thank you!
That is very clever!
@@hollycowan455 thank you!
Jackets socks towels plates and a wheelchair for the older people
I love how organized this is! My aunt tried this with her kids but they didn't end up finishing cause my cousins were messing around too much. This is so amazing, if I don't win the giveaway I will definitely make a couple of these for my family! A few things I would add are toilet paper, a watch, and spare cash.
ohhhh toilet paper is smart
A sewing kit, a fire starter, a small waterproof map of local area, a waterproof deck of cards, for adults a small survival book, a laminated card with important phone numbers and addresses (nobody knows phone numbers anymore because they are stored in our phones), a chocolate bar because it lifts spirits in a stressful situation, laminated photo copies of ID, SS card, Birth Certificate. Container of a few instant tea, coffee, small hard candies for blood sugar. A small fold up knife saw (never know what you need to cut yourself out of or for cutting wood etc for building shelter.
Living in Louisiana we have had our share of disasters the past few years... I would add bug spray, sunscreen, Female items, and identification cards for little kids who may not know parents or medical information in case you are separated. And Please don’t forget the furry family members pack them emergency kits kept inside or strapped to a travel cages ( depending on storage) ❤️❤️❤️ love love love your videos
They did remember the female items, but the rest is great! They could even get dog back packs that the dogs can cardy
Congrats to everyone who comes every second!!💖🎉
I would add peanut butter because it’s a great source of protein, carbs, and fats! Also a great source of energy!❤️
This sounds weird but Walkie-talkies!! If y’all get Separated and there’s no cell service you can talk that way!! ❤️
Good idea
Really smart
I would add a list of medications and a list of family medical history to each pack. Someone will always ask about any medical history and any allergies. I would also add contact information to each pack, in case of seperation. Love your program.
I think a great thing to have is Mountain House freeze dried food that has a 30-year shelf life and a Jetboil to boil the water needed to cook the freeze dried food. I started to stock up on the food. I did try some and they taste good. Thank you for giving subscribers a chance to win a emergency kit.
Two more things I would add to the survival kit is $40 cash each, and a survival guide to help remind the kids about certain thing like starting a fire or emergency aids. Adding a pocket sized bible would also be important.
I don‘t think the Bible is necessary because it just adds A LOT of weight and they can live without one for a few days.
Love these! Been wanting to put one together for myself. I’d add a box of matches and fire starting bricks!
And Ty so much for posting I love love love love love your videos
An item I would include in the older kids/adults is a manual food can opener, one or two flares, a garbage bag (or a few) in each kits maybe. You guys are great preparing these and helping people with ideas of what they should have, especially with a family this large!
They already put the can opener in it
@@laurasheehan4453 gotcha, it was on the multi tool, still good to have a single one incase the multi tool fails.
a fire stater too
If there was one thing that I would add to this emergency kit that is not already in it would be something called a shenis 😂 if you’re not sure what that is it’s basically a funnel that helps girls use the restroom where it’s not so convenient for us!💕
I thought it was called a shewee but shenis is 10 times better
One item that would be a must add for me personally is my EpiPen. I would add this because sadly I am allergic to milk and peanuts which result in serious allergic reactions and hospitalization if I come in contact. Epinephrine helps to halt the allergic reaction and it helps to reopen the victim's airway that the anaphylactic reaction has swollen shut, which mine does. Not including this in an emergency kit for myself would be a serious hazard and you never know when this kind of stuff can happen. Adding to this, even if you are not aware of having any allergies, this would still be a useful thing to pack because you could possibly discover that you are allergic to something in an emergency, plus if you are with someone who encounters a situation when they or somebody needs an EpiPen you can provided them with one and possibly save that person's life.
I would add a Tracker for location, some dry foods and a charger just incase ur electronics die.
I love your family!!! Hope ellecee is feeling better and your new intro worked out!!! Can't wait to see it!💗
Yes I hope ellcee feels better too!!! Hopefully it's nothing serous and she doesent have any infections
One thing I would add is some kind of fire starter whether it’s matches, fire starter kits or something of that sort. There are some wonderful ideas in here. Thank you for this video!
I would add a lighter or matches, a few dehydrated meals, toilet paper & definitely a big ziplock with some dog food... for my dog. lol Everything you added were such good ideas! We just got some rice, beans & pasta and some mylar bags, oxygen absorbers & 5 gallon buckets to start preparing for emergency food. Just need to learn how to seal it correctly. I would LOVE to win your backpack!
For adults and teenagers I would add an emergency credit card. Those who get one will partner up with 1 or 2 younger children, but the oldest has it in their bag. Love you guys so much!❤😊
I would definitely have something that means the most to me and my family like my family heirloom and or our family picture! It just means the most to us and everyone will be happy!
For ladies I would recommend packing a menstrual cup instead of pads/tampons. They are small, hygienic and reusable 🌸
The kids who are new to periods wouldn't be comfortable with the menstrual cup and in emergencies I don't think they want to learn how to use it its not great for the little guys
Not everyone would be comfortable with using a cup. Some might not even be comfortable using a tampon. Trying to learn to use something as sensitive as that would just cause more stress to the situation. I get what your saying though maybe for the ones who can use it that would be good.
When I pack for emergency purposes. I find it helps to have a list of emergency techniques such as how to start a fire what to do if someone's choking or how to do CPR. But put that on a laminate piece of paper so that way it stays dry at all times.
yeah or maybe for the little kids a list of whats in there and how to use it and of course laminated paper
and phone numbers on there too !
@@galacticaqua2255 absolutely
Water bottles will be AMAZING and also sometimes some people will need sleep so I recommend a pillow and some cards for entertainment ❤❤❤❤❤❤😍😍😍🤩🤩😘😘😘😚☺️☺️
Just a couple of tips that I’ve been taught growing up
1. NEVER write down where you’re going or the directions to get there. Someone can steal it and then it could get dangerous if it’s a life or death situation in the first place.
2. You should have maps and a backup plan incase of any emergency. You can use the maps to find where you’re going but make sure not to mark where you’re going or your route on the map.
3. Make sure you pack shoes that are broken in and sturdy. If you suddenly have to walk several miles in a day you don’t want to have shoes that you’re breaking in. Thick socks also help a lot!
really good tips but I don't know why when I read this I felt a bad feeling in my gut that something isn't right. I'm just going to ignore it but anyways thank you for these tips.
@Maddison Kent
Been 2 months you good sis?
I would add a stocking hat or extra pair of socks in case of an emergency during colder weather✔️
Sadie is my favorite! Especially when you were handing out the body warmers and she was just like “those look like a bag of chips🥴”
i vote for more saidee content
Yeah she looks more happy at her new school
Adults I would copy down if bug stay track hat foeth the sunbathers operated fan love you nen fam ❤️
I would throw in some extra clothes just in case and maybe also throw in something the kids will be entertained with like a board game or something. Also might as well get a tent just in case. Also add some extra money because you might need it. That’s some of other stuff I will add in a emergency kit but you guys did great 👍🏻.
I would add some waterproof matches, and walkie talkies. You are such a great family and I LOVE your channel! That backpack would be awesome!
For 72 hour kits, a good thing to add into the kit would be a walkie-talkie so you can communicate with each other, in an emergency.
I think it’s all put together but one thing a tracker
I would add MREs those are great and last for days/yrs they have a shelf live of 10yrs. Also walki-talkies and along with emergency kits I would train the kids to always have a battle buddy and what to do if they get separated from the group. Love that you guys are always prepared for everything and anything.
Love the walki talkie idea
a couple items i would include that I can think of are
- mosquito spray
- anti infection/bacterial cream
- soap
- plastic bags
- lighters
- money
- passports / IDs (never know)
I love your videos so much ! always brings me joy 🥰🥰
what a huge family
You guys are my favorite RUclipsrs love you guy. - Parker 😁
My mom has us do these and talk about these all the time. Being at college it’s a bit stressful to store this, but one thing I’d add is a list of allergies, phone numbers to call, or medications and what they treat. That way if you get separated you can survive and call someone if necessary.
Love all these videos
Great, and soo true my mum does the same, its helpful to be prepared and great idea by the way
Love this! And I love how you included the kids, and they helped pack their own bags. I would definitely add a small Bible. Something you just need to spend time with the Lord, it will help in those times when things get too crazy. Reminder to just focus on Jesus in that time. But I would also add some matches,in case you don't don't how to start a fire,water proof socks, adult might need to bring a small axe to chop wood, and maybe some kind of canned foods. Also a map, sleeping bags that attach to the backpack,bar soap so you csn wash hands,yourself and utensils.
As someone from AZ I'd add bug repellents, a hat (for sun protection), and a battery operated fan as intense heat is usually our biggest environmental enemy during a disater.
They did put sun protection they added sunscreen
@@moda4895 ok but it’s not the same as sunscreen
Okay, a fan is a little extra
A Flint And A spair pair of socks
one item i would add it sunscreen! just as it gets cold it gets really hot, and protecting your skin is a big deal! i would love to receive a bag because as an only child i think it would be a really easy source to grab and go and know i have everything i need to help! Love this idea, if i dont win i would definatly love to do this myself
as a diabetic, i have to check my sugar and take medication. i would also suggest any diabetic keep an extra blood sugar kit in their 72 hour bag and 72 hours worth of the medication. obviously it might expire before you need it, so update those meds accordingly in case you don't have time to grab your everyday kits and meds before evacuating! and of course this goes for any other illnesses as well!
Omg I’m also a type 1 diabetic and I’ve been trying to find someone giving advice on one of these for my supplies, I’m on the Omnipod 5 and my insulin needs to be refrigerated
What I currently have:
-Spare charger for my phone and Omnipod
-meter set
-2 spare omnipods
-spare dexcom sensor
-syringes
-ketone strips
-glucose tablets
-alcohol pads
I would add a list of everything that is in the bag and how many of each item. Then laminate the list and have a white board marker so you can keep track of what you have used and how much, but to also check that you still have everything.
I'd also include a Sharpie or a small labeler so you can label what belongs to who so nothing gets mixed up or argued over.
I love your videos, they're so cool.😂😂😂❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊😅😅😅😅🎉🎉
I would add a bug repellent, portable charger, and maybe something small that everyone could pick out to keep everyone happy. I think 72 hour kits are amazing and I love how you are always prepared for everything!
I would add for the little kids a animal teddy and maybe for the older kids I would put a fully charged portable charger. Your videos are amazing love the Chanel so much👏👏😀
Each pack already has the most important factor: love and care. The only thing I might add is an identification tag on each pack. Just in case anyone gets lost, especially the young ones, a tag with their names and a phone number for an emergency contact would be useful!
I like the idea but never put your child’s name on stuff like that, just the contact details x
This one is for Beckham like if you can find it at a store it is like a book bag with a leash that you can put stuff in it .
More like ledger bc Beckham is 7 years old I think
I would recommend just taking as much packaging off as usual so that in an emergency you don’t have to try and open everything, especially since so much packaging requires a knife or scissors to open :)
That’s why they added the pocket knife and plyer kit
From Canada! So I would 100% be adding lots of warm gear. Insulted mittens, toque, scarf and fuzzy socks. Would also be ideal to keep a winter jacket near the bag or the door depending on the time of year!
#CANADIAN SQUAD🇨🇦🇨🇦
I would add more stuff like beanies, scarfs,a toy each, maybe a small pillow, a bowl so if you see any animal in danger you can give it some water, a book to read, some maths, a mini arcade (it looks like a box (very small) and very fun), a bigger bottle of water and a jacket or coat
Good ideas but not nessasary so they would need a HUGE bag lol
True
There are inflatable pillows so mabe than .the bowl i think they will be suffering like the animal so maybe not But there is foldable bowls
I would add po up storage bins witch sounds wierd but could be helpful and I would add a pack of matches in case it is cold out side and a coarse I would make a extra backpack in case someone misplaced there’s
The things I’d have are; Long lasting radio, SOS signal, having a book on how to survive the wilderness, having extra clothes, comfort things (stuffed animals, blankets, pillows, etc), toiletries are a must, a couple of phones (if one dies, I have a back up, multiple battery packs and just having extra supplies if I need anything. Thanks so much for everything! Thanks for what you do for us and thanks for looking out for us! Love you guys so much!
You should maybe add a Wally talky just in case someone gets lost or maybe a hairbrush or mirror and also maybe vaccination cards if you guys took the vaccine.
@Toya W ur hair.
i'd probably add: a life jacket, mosquito spray, walkie talkies, sleeping bag, and a portable charger. i really hope you guys don't have to use the kits because i don't want anything bad to happen to you guys stay safe ily!
A tracker and some stuff to keep them busy
I would add some bug spray or even a reusable water bottle, not just a plastic one. I might also add a fire starter for the teens and adults because you might really want that in an emergency! Then for Dad I would do one of those foldable shovels, we always keep one in my dads truck. Also even though you did a poncho a umbrella might be really helpful for if it is hot, rainy, snowy, or something else. Then also something a little bit more expensive would be a portable charger for your phone because you really don’t want to waist the radios life if can. Then even a little book that is just a few pages long of things to do in an emergency for everyone because it would help me to stay focused on what had to get done and it would help me to not go into full panic mode. :) Also pepper spry for the teens and adults could really save your life if you needed it to.
