- Hi Friends!!! In today's video, I am going to be sharing our 72 hour kits with you. We just recently put together brand new ones because our old ones were...old...ha ha. I involved my kids in the process so they could start to learn the importance of being prepared. It was a really grand time. Enjoy!!! #homeschool #72hourkits #emergencypreparedness

At last. I have actually found a sane 72hour kit that doesn't focus on weapons and gimmicks. I'm currently putting together emergency kits for my grandson and new (step) grandsons, while updating the adult kits I have had since before I got married in the 1980s. Which backpacks did you use? I like the colours. First suggeston I would offer is to weigh the children's packs (4-6yo - 2-3kg; 6-8yo - maximum 3kg; 9-11yo - 4-5kg; 12-16yo - 6-7kg). Use compressed towels/toilet paper tablets rather than toilet paper rolls. Perhaps switch out the heavier items for lighter items, especially if you have to ditch the car - your husband will be grateful, trust me. Swap canned food and jelly/fruit cups for sachets of freeze-dried fruits and vegetables - packs the same nutrients but weighs a lot less and takes up less space. Whistle. Always have one attached to the ring on the shoulder straps or the loop diamond on the front. Also, a small flashlight would boost a child's morale in a scary emergency, such as an Everbright Mini LED or a Riakrum mini pocket. Even a torch projector would be more fun than waiting for an adult to dig out and crank a flashlight. I would recommend glow-in-the-dark Velcro patches and a button LED light for their jackets and backpack zippers. And you didn't mention shelter. SOL (Survive Outdoors Longer) for example, do a great range of tents, blankets and sleeping bags that weigh next to nothing. Not everyone will be lucky enough to reach an evac centre, or even one that has shelters/space available. There's nothing worse than being turned away because they are full. Happened to us twice. Finally, I would absolutely recommend a local topographical map, so that you know where to find water on your journey and a foraging book relevant to your area. Fully enjoyed your video. Thank you for sharing.
I liked that you involved your kids it can make a scary situation less scary for them if they know they have there own things.
I would suggest some sugar packets...some games..dollar tree has small games..that could work nicely..a throw blanket...life straws...mess kits... foldable water bottles, collapsible cups and bowls... Vaseline will help start fires...a safety whistle for the kids..in case they get separated from u guys...throw a few cans of soup in the adult packs..carabeaners are also useful..q tips... dissection kit..can also help for first aid..from splinters to large gashes... liquid skin and liquid bandaid..new skin as well...
liquid IV..is a good source of hydration for water bottles...same as Gatorade powder...you could use Kool aid as a treat at supper time for the kids though...I have more if I need or want it
What great helpers you have, FYI put washcloths in baggy!!! (DON'T want other items to get wet if on the move) add Comb and hair ties. Add electrolytes packs for water. Add Thermometer 🤒 in 1st aid kit as well as oregel for toothaches
Great tip!!!
I recently made 72 hour kits for my family as well. You have some things that I hadn’t thought about.
What a great idea. Though I would go much lighter on the hygiene stuff. Focus on disposable wipes and a half bar of solid shampoo/soap. For 72 hours you can go without both shaving and washing hair. In that kind of emergency running water might be an issue, after all. And if you need to use these out-of-home every gram counts.
The water thing is why I don't get some people promoting Diva cups and reusable menstrual pads. Just get organic tampons or pads with minimal packaging/no applicators.
Sleeping bags, family tent, large tarps, multi-tools, sleeping pads, cooling towels, misting fans, head lamps, hats, travel towels, safety glasses, electrolyte powder pk's, vitamins, carabiners.
I thank you i forgot things 😂
Im new subbie ❤
Great video!
just one tip i would put some tape on the end of the scissors so not too pierce anything oh just seen that this was 2 years ago sorry better late than never lol
The utility cord you use it to build a shelter or hang clothes to dry.
I bought an extra bag for like tablets and stuff. I'd like to take those with me.
I am interested in this
Where did you get the bag you used for you and your husband? May i have the link to them? I love it seems so spacious and perfect for a 72 hour emergency bag (I tried going to your website for the link but it won't stay loaded)

My website has been having a lot of problems and we haven't been able to fix them. Sorry!!! Hopefully the link works that I just replied with.
Hairbrush and combs ?
What type of emergency would you use these for?
Where we live it would be mostly used for fire evacuation where you only have minutes to get out of the house. They can also be used in our home if there is a natural disaster, like an earthquake, where we can't leave or receive help for several days. They can also be used to help neighbors or people in your community when there is a tornado, fire, earthquake, or hurricane that didn't impact you as harshly as others.
