Good kits, I didn’t know that tooth gel existed ! 10/10 from 🐨🦘

[@deniseespeut1474]

Thanks so much for sharing 😊 gotta get our bags ready

[@lisahall-miller-estes4431]

Where are the extra pairs of socks.

[@lauraoverman9615]

It's good to have a bug-out bag, but do you have a financial bug-out bag?

[@susanwilliamson6717]

Could you share the link for the backpacks before your next video please. X

[@TheRiseAndFallOfJazzy]

I'm a preper grew up with hippies ad survivalist, dad was a EMT medic I been raised around this. I am glad to see moms doing this. Bug out bags have pros and con's so make sure you research :) p.s I would add a road map of your state and local area in the adult bag

[@francinemitchell3809]

Love the map idea!

[@cynthiaannblaha5127]

I have also heard you should teach your kids to read a map. Many of them have no experience with it.

[@Sarawarawara-]

It should be In both bags. Children aren’t stupid and If you’re separated It’s important

[@shondra4054]

I'm not sure if this has been mentioned, but it may still be good to bring at least just one can opener just in case the pop tab cans break off

[@grandcatsmama3421]

Definitely, I was trying to open a can of corned beef and the metal broke off. Had to use a can opener. Lol.

[@thewhitebackground]

Even a couple of those cheapo dollar store multi tools

[@OMGitsaClaire]

I’m someone who works outside in the woods, often alone, and I have a favorite backpacking first aid kit. The only place I can ever find it is from Forestry Supply and it may be exclusive to them, but on top of basic band aids, gauze, tweezers, alcohol pads, antibiotic ointment, etc. it has bee sting and burn cream, a poncho, a space blanket, a safety whistle, and a glow stick. For people that ever camp or backpack, those items are a really good idea. The poncho and space blanket especially to help prevent hypothermia and the whistle and glow light to help people find you if you need to be rescued.

[@ArmindaHeart]

I recommend a thermal blanket for each pack along with those ponchos. Love the head lanterns and hand warmers! As far as consumables, I would pack dehydrated food that is light and easy to prepare (keep the heavy canned goods in the house in case you’re all stuck there), the utensils and plates, the squeezy peanut butter (great idea!!!), protein bars, water filtration kits that you found, and a couple bottles of water to start off. Then for basic body care, the sani wipes, a pack of baby or body wipes for cleansing, the toothbrush kits, and the brushes - oh and feminine products for the fems! Just the pure basics until help can be acquired. The adult backpacks can carry more useful tools like a pocket knife and flashlight, medicines/first aid kit, tiny cook kit, and specific care items for emergencies. I think an emergency home kit apart from the backpacks would be really great! I sure do need to get some emergency backpacks made up. Thanks for reminding us all ❤️

[@michelewestover9330]

I bought some used but in great shape backpacks from thrift stores. I washed them in the washer in hot water and hung them to air dry. It was cheaper than buying new. Great video and you got some great items❤️

[@raechelyoung5890]

What an amazing thing you’re doing for your family! Such a great mama! Who in the world would give you a thumbs down or negative review?! For your community as well, you’re always helping, going above and beyond! Keep doing you miss lady!! 😊 So incredibly inspiring, love watching!! 💯💞😍

[@bethica-anncontreras]

When I was in the Army, we would put small amounts of instant coffee straight in our mouths with a sip of water as a boost/pick-me-up on night guard duty. 😄

[@debstrout1844]

My husband and I listened to this together and had such a good time discussing our needs and what we need to locate or buy. We have one bag but with having a list to follow I feel like we would be better prepared. We are retired so we are at the age where we take medication on a regular basis. I would be in absolute pain without my meds. We are considering putting in 3-4 days worth of our medications. Tobin is just a beautiful little boy and I always enjoy seeing him in your videos.

[@lynda6585]

I have week supply of meds..plus a pharmacy mini kit with pain med,Benadryl, alkaseltzer, immodium, tums, salt, mustard pacs, glucose tabs/powder, powder ASA..

[@grandcatsmama3421]

I don't know if you can do this everywhere, but ask your doctor for an extra months supply of your medicine. That will hold you longer than 3-4 days too. What if you have to be away from your home for a week or more? God bless you.

[@kimberlyd40]

This is a wonderful idea. My hubby and grandson had to evacuate from home this summer due to wild fires. I was away from home on a business trip. This would have been great!

[@joterry123]

Just a quick thought , we had a forest fire all round our house in Portugal a few years ago , we really needed eye drops for a few days afterwards because the smoke is very painful on the eyes , don’t forget hats also because in a fire there can be falling debris and it’s also good to keep rain off , if you can get them space blankets ( the silver ones ) ! Bungees or string to keep you all together in crowds or hiking in wooded areas etc thick wool socks if there’s a lot of walking to be done ! ( fingers crossed you never need any of it ) xxxxx 🌸💕💖🌸💕💖🌸💕💖

[@michigangrandma3452]

Great idea about the eye drops

[@kaesch2770]

What great suggestions!

[@slCHARACOUNSELING]

Hello again from Texas. For anyone who travels a "back home" bag is a good idea. During the last flood my dear husband was stuck downtown and there were no busses running. It's the same principle as the emergency bag but in reverse for anyone who is away. We are very rural so it would take some time to get home. Best to you from Texas.

[@kaesch2770]

Yah. I had to tell my husband to stay where he was during Harvey. Lucky for him, it was at his parents house, so PARTY! 😂

[@grandcatsmama3421]

And always carry a couple hundred extra in an old cleaned out chapstick tube. You can buy the cheap ones since you won't be using it. You roll up two-four hundred dollars in the cleaned tube. Put them in a go bag, a purse, any where, even bury a few just make sure you mark the spot so you don't forget where they are. In an emergency you'll have cash. Tell everyone your broke.

[@ariyaelle]

Pen and paper is a great idea for communication in case someone gets home & has to head somewhere else. Makes it easier to find each other.

[@slCHARACOUNSELING]

Hello from Texas. As a survivor of two floods, one of in which water rescue had to get me, I think this is a great idea. We don't like to think about this stuff but it's necessary. Don't forget supplies for the fur babies, my 200# Great Dane was in the boat with us. 😁 A light windbreaker in case it's raining and those glow toys would be great. Hugs to you my friend.

[@Thisisit120]

Another step that you need to do with all this preparedness is actually use that cooking set, before you need to. It cooks a lot different on an open fire than what you’re used to.

[@bethanymehling5025]

Just got back from Hobby Lobby and channeled my inner Jammerrill the whole time. To come home to a new video?!? What a great day!!

[@jacrispy2068]

I hear you Jesus! I kept feeling an urge to revise my big out bags. I’m doing that now and I started thinking do I have the right stuff and your video shows up😊

[@feliciajohns4148]

Oh my heart! Tobin's hair is the cutest thing going on earth. He has a style guys pay huge bucks for and his is just au naturel 💙.

[@myfamilyismyworld]

Those Jif Peanut Butter squeeze containers are genius. We use them to fill the kongs for our dog. So much easier than using a knife!

[@Binzany]

Love the sour cream in squeeze too

[@marydamara7507]

Awesome idea to fill the Kong toys !!!

[@dawnmabe8777]

It’s just my husband and I now but still enjoy watching. We are doing emergency bags also. We have ordered solar chargers for cellphones one for each cellphone.

[@ayronsmama05]

Just wanted to say that dryer line is the best thing for fire starter. I actually have some that I will vac pac for each bag and also dip some in candle wax and let dry for a slower burn in windy conditions. Great haul. Also the rice pouches can be warmed by laying in hot water! Also the mountain house meals which are 2 servings are great!! Blessings y'all

[@YT4Me57]

Cotton balls covered in vaseline. Store them in a snack size baggie. Put one or two in a bundle of twigs and dry brush and light with a lighter. They burn long enough to start a fire.

[@dianariconda9258]

You can also use the paper egg cartons, put the lint in and melt the candles or even crayons into it. Excellent firestarter. Also, keep matches in a waterproof container like an old medicine bottle and you can put sandpaper on top to start the match. If you need to start a fire outside and it is raining....look for broken branches that are hanging on a tree....they will be dry because the rain runs off of them instead of soaking into them.

[@grandcatsmama3421]

@@YT4Me57 The cotton rounds or balls for your face are great too. Make sure they're real cotton and not the polyester ones. They'd be great for babies face too on a camping trip.

[@amariahg5450]

My husband and I have been married for nearly 5 years and I put our kits together a little over 2 years ago. Now I go through annually to refresh the food supplies and make sure all flashlights have fresh batteries with them. We also have hand crank flashlights and radios.

[@krazyzoovlogs]

Something to consider since you have your cute little guy there is to include a small can of formula and a bottle. There are times that one parent will get separated from the family and it would be bad if baby got separated from mom and didn't have anything to eat. I used to live where people had to evacuate because of wildfires on a semi-frequent basis and when I volunteered at some of the camps I saw situations where they didn't know where mom was nor did they have formula for the baby.

[@littleoldlady4154]

I regularly purchase formula and donate it for others in need. I raised the nieces and nephews and struggled to keep them fed with formula decades ago. It is why I donate it. I have a dresser drawer full of 2 different brands that I am getting ready to donate. It's good until late 2022.

[@kaesch2770]

@@littleoldlady4154 that’s so sweet of you!!!

[@ChaosAndKendra]

I went on a canoe trip this summer, the squeeze peanut butter was so good and easy to pack in the bear barrel.

[@jamiemengers3831]

Awesome job girl!!!! We have had our backpacks for about 5 years. Yes we have an additional medical bag too. You might add coloring books for the kiddos and at least 1 Bible for family. Also might consider a wagon to pull as well. We also hooked on those D-rings to the outside of pack, and hung flashlights and canteen of water. Small roll up blanket. Tarp to make quick shelter. Another tip.....take a used medicine bottle with pieces of cotton balls covered in Vaseline. They are excellent fire starters. Also from Amazon get small tabs of toilet paper!😉 We bought one large extra sturdy shelf to place ALL our backpacks on so they are all together in one place. Love all your videos and family ❤

[@Mom-pu8vt]

I have all important travel documents, birth certificate etc. in a large leather pouch to go whenever I need it and a large document file with housing documents etc. in it. Next to this, I placed a large shopper tote bag, so in any case of emergency, I can just grab the pouch and file holder and put in the tote bag which already has a pack of batteries and a torch ( extra stuff I can reach for in case electricity is shut off at night). Other great ideas I read about were as follows: -Neon sticker lights for bags etc.. -stick on battery operated round lights - fantastic item! -mini packets of glucose biscuits -dried pkts. of chicken noodle soups that just need hot water. -sachets of sugar/ coffee / tea ( all light to carry) -powder milk packs ( in small ziplock bags) The other tip was to bury a trunk of emergency supplies and copies of important documents somewhere in your garden ( little far from house) or even in a relatives house ( if no garden) and dig this up in the event of earthquake or natural disaster. Thought you might like these :) -

[@donnagarretson3621]

Very good, just a wonderful job of getting all the emergency things put together. That sweet little baby of yours is sure growing. My newest great-grand son has been cutting his first teeth and I know exactly want the little guy is going through; oh, it is so painful. Your baby sure has the cutest curly hair, what a precious doll baby. God bless you all

[@dianariconda9258]

You are such a blessing! Thank you for taking the time to take care of all of us! Making that list took time and the videos too! I really appreciate you!

[@SunflowersAndPumpkins_Eturnal]

Dont forget make time to take care of YOU; so you can get better and stick around for thoughs kids. Big hugs momma!

[@nolacockerham4823]

You made me remember a funny family story. In 1991 we were doing kits for our small family. I had just fastened a pack onto our 3 year old’s back. I had turned to the counter and then heard a loud squeal. She had tipped over and was waving her hands and feet wildly in the air. She looked like an upside down turtle, we laughed and laughed. I think one thing you are going to realize is that you don’t need everything for everyone. For instance, you can all share a tube or two of toothpaste and you can share one bottle of ibuprophen or sewing kit, etc. You each need a poncho and toothbrush but perhaps not a brush and comb or antibacterial ain’t meant or playing cards. This is especially true if you need to walk somewhere instead of sheltering at home. Streamline as much as you can or the weight will do you in.

[@jeannebrown484]

I LOVE this video and the thought process involved. I loved your raising and processing your own meat birds,buying and storing food in your large storage buckets as well. I think praying and hoping for the best while preparing for the not so great is very wise and comforting.

[@maryreynolds5310]

Hi Jamerrill, When my kids were young I actually did this. The town we lived in at the time was and still is called tornado lane. There were many times I had to get my kids together and leave our home to go to pizza king and wait out the storm. I had everything needed for a few days, definitely made me feel better! So when we had to leave, it was a quick process for sure. Come to think about it, I didn’t have one for myself. I say it’s pretty important we do this…if we, the adults can’t take care of ourselves, we won’t be much good for our children. Thanks Jamerrill for all the tips.. I greatly appreciate it! Have a great day 🤗

[@NoobyGamess]

So happy to see you do a prepping video. Everyone should have a go backpack and be ready for anything. We are in the latter days. Pack that bible your best prep!.

Yes, I thought about doing this for a few people for Christmas.

[@lynda6585]

Great idea..esp if have older kids..any kids..imagine fun of playing with headlamp, and radio..no batteries needed..and they'd get to use it so when needed wouldn't be foreign.

[@rw3687]

You may want to compare the items you've accumulated to what is in the "bug out" bags that are sold by several online companies, just to make sure you aren't missing something major. Some of those companies also have emergency preparedness brochures. Looks like you have already put a lot of time and thought into this endeavor!

[@martinwesterlund957]

That’s good that you have been doing and preparing your 72 hour kits for all the family members. I have a 72 hour kit, food, cloths, important documents, pictures and water ready to go we had a wildfire in June that was 12 miles from our house we where in a “set evacuation order”. It was scary luckily we did not have to leave was on watch for 5 days. You never know when your going to need or use 72 hour kits it’s good to have them ready.

[@lynda6585]

Get idea..must get my important papers ...ie.birthcerticate, licenses, insurance pspers...hadn't thought of this..also perhaps..pictures of everybody..update it yearly.

[@lpschick7237]

Oh my goodness….little Tobin man looks like his brother Daniel. How adorable. So glad we got to see him.

[@kpowe65]

Good ideas! You can also use straws as containers. Fill a plastic straw with salt, pepper, sugar just about anything and melt each end. Water proof and lightweight. Now they have the large straws like for bubble tea. Also Amazon sells the military can openers, P38 a pack of 10 around $8 and a larger one P51 pack of 4 for around $7. I am slowly making our backpacks. :)

[@s.cbelle1844]

Great video! As it is now hurricane season, I am starting to put together bags for my husband and myself. This video gave me ideas for our bags. ...Ladies, the hand/foot warmers can also be used as a heating pad for cramps. I make sure to keep some on hand.

[@Caneset]

Hey Jamerrill! Hurricane survivor here, don't worry about weighing the bags down. What my family does is bags and a big container (heavy/ food items (outside of snacks)/small energy creator goes in the large container- container on wheels) stay safe and happy

[@shopsipsaute6981]

I love this! I've started a little collection of "bug out " items. I love those head lamps, great idea! I packed a couple can openers, but those tend to fail when we need them. I'm going to stock up on more pop top cans. Thanks for all the great tips!

Such an amazing person for doing this for people ❤️ it can be a really big struggle for some people to even imagine what you may need I know I’m one of them

[@julieann5196]

Wow this is a really great idea. Being from the midwest not sure if we would ever need an emergency backpack. We've lived here for 36 years and once our electricity went out for about 8 hours, luckily we have a generator so we were the only ones on the block with electricity. But this still gives me the idea of maybe having a backpack, doesn't hurt to have one for myself and husband. Thanks for the ideas!!

[@debadamsuksouthwales6766]

Tobin's hair is so cute 🎊 having an emergency backpack isn't something we do in UK but the way things are in the world right now I think it might be a good idea 🙏

[@makeuplover6852]

Thank you for doing a lot of the leg work for us ! We’ve got a lot of our bug out bags ready but this video and lots of good suggestions in the comments ( highly encourage people to read all the comments)have helped me put together a list of other things we still need. I’m encouraged to see most people already have some sort of emergency preparadness bag ready..and for those who couldn’t understand why One would need one, I hope they read some of the comments to understand why. Looking forward to watching the next new video with some dinner! Somehow I got two videos behind !

[@rachelwarrum2353]

So glad you are doing this for your family.. We get each person a head lamp. We just pack each bag with extra set of battery’s. Or you can get the rechargeable ones. It’s nice to have hands free if we walking in the dark. Our grands love them. The hand crank ones take a lot of work to keep Then lite. At least the ones we have. I also keep a head lamp in my first aid kit with a set of magnifying glass to see the passant! Your doing great.. thanks for sharing.

Two gallon zip locks are great for storing a change of clothes and a couple of pairs of socks and undies.

[@Stevie37]

We put two big garbage bags in each pack. They can be super useful! You can use them as a makeshift shelter or sleeping pad, use them in the rain to keep things dry, use them to collect rain or dew if you're desperate for water, etc.

Wow look who’s turned into a prepper. Good for you!

[@peteboyz2]

What is your plan for rotating some of the food/medicine that might expire? OR kids that will grow out of their clothes/shoes? We live in a hurricane area (just moved recently from the midwest) and this would be a great idea for us to gather up for times when we might need to evacuate quickly.

[@JamerrillStewart]

So I’ve talk to folks who had their bags done for a while. In high hurricane areas like where you live, you might want to set a timer notice on your phone to just check them all and go through things real quick every three months. I plan to check mine every September and rotate things out. But because I’m new at this I’ll probably do every six months for a bit. At that time you rotate out your food and switch out seasonal clothing. When I rotate out my food I plan to just give the kids the backpack food for lunches/snacks for a few days and will rotate in fresh.

[@Stevie37]

We revisit our bags with major seasonal changes (we get snow late September- early May and have 100+ degree days the rest of the year). This allows us to have seasonally appropriate clothing in the bags and to cycle out any food or medicine that needs to be used soon.

[@lynda6585]

Check clothes and outdates..every July...this is when....you start to think about fall and back to school anyway..

[@christawright2685]

I've lived in south louisiana all my life, hurricanes are a way of life but fortunately you always have plenty of time to gather whatever you need because hurricanes do not just appear, they grow into the dangerous storms, so yes it's an emergency situation but you won't need to grab your bags with an hours notice to get to safe ground you'll have plenty of warning it's coming!

[@JamerrillStewart]

@@christawright2685 that is great that you haven't needed a go bag. They are not for everyone. September is National Preparedness Month www.ready.gov/september so folks should think through what they'd need in an emergency.

[@bettywurm306]

We have emergency backpacks. We also have our cars prepared with other items. If we are able to leave by car, or if we are stranded in our car by snow or ice. Ever since the Y2K scare, we’ve often thought of what is needed if we lose power, etc. Those hand warmers are great for feet, too! I’ve heard that having cash, small bills would be helpful. I haven’t got that, but it’s on my list. I’m so glad you are focusing on this and look forward to the rest of your series

[@JamerrillStewart]

I agree, I definitely want to continue to work to the point where we have emergency documents ready to go, small bills available, emergency kits and every car. It’s gonna take me a while, maybe even another year 😂. Thank you for sharing how you’ve made it work for your family!

[@marjoryealday686]

Agreed that it’s better and wiser to be prepared and not need it than to need it and not have it! The state I live in has a handout for emergency preparedness and mentions we should keep copies of important documents like birth certificates, passport/ID etc along with some cash (in a waterproof baggie). In case the house suffers damage etc copies of those important documents are safe with the person.

[@marjoryealday686]

[@2Blessed]

Great video, and I am reading through the comments for additional ideas too! We live near a nuclear power plant, and we are supposed to have bags like this prepared in case we need to evacuate, but they didn't give us suggestions on what to pack! We are also stocking up a bit on non-perishable food and water for the house also, and it feels better to think we are at least somewhat prepared! I'm thinking of 2 separate bags - if we ever have to evacuate, most likely Hubby will be at work, so I have to carry for him, but I'll do one bag of personal items/clothes, and the other of emergency items. I am waiting on a kidney transplant, so if they call me, I want a bag with both of our personal items all ready to go also, so it would work for either situation.

[@mommyandthewildlings2626]

So I have 8 kids and when I made our bags I included the canned pop tops too but once I added the other things the bags would’ve been WAY to heavy for my littlest ones to carry. So what I ended up doing was taking the heavy food and camping stove and other camping equipment and put them in an emergency tub where we have our bags. So heading out the door if we aren’t on foot we can also bring the tub of stuff. If we should end up on foot from there we could always disperse and rearrange!

Looks like your family is going to be living good. Don’t forget to bring lots of water and a. Flashlight and fresh batteries. I would make up one and see how heavy they are because I’m pretty sure you’ll have to eliminate some supplies. They will be too heavy to carry. I would also buy some of those tablets to put in water to make it sanitary for consumption. Good job planning Jammeril!

You should look into a home freeze dryer. Harvest Right is the only manufacture. You can make your own MREs with your own recipes. You just add water, but, can also eat foods in the dry state. Freeze dried foods can last 25 years. Also, have you considered building your own underground storm shelter? You can store distilled water and supplies in them. Good luck!

We want a home freeze dryer SOOOO bad, but they are a big up front investment at nearly $2700. It's definitely on our "someday" list.

Can’t wait to see the rest of your stuff! Looks like you got some great stuff already! I know they have shower wipes those might be good to have too and some dry shampoo if you don’t have access to showers.

[@eliciasanders7488]

Goodness Tobin is growing and so stinking cute!

[@lithottamera6089]

Great video. I need to do a 72 hour backpacks for my family, just in case. You can never be too prepared

[@maeg6444]

Your sweet little Tobin reminds me of a baby Kramer from Seinfield with that incredible hair :). And, I kinda already have an emergency backpack in my trunk. I am diabetic so I travel with food and medical supplies. And, I often get a "wild hare" to go for a nature walk or dive into a gym so I have workout clothes, shoes (even rubber boots--ruined nice boots at a random bunny farm....), and showering supplies. Memories of long trips for sports have me tuck away a blankie in the trunk, as well as emergency roadside kits with first aid supplies. I figure if I am home, my trunk is in the driveway with those supplies, and if I am on the road, why it's there, too. I've been known to make a "stash" in boyfriends' rigs, too, as it's just easier to avoid crisis mode or forego spontaneous adventure fun if I am being chauffered :) Maybe you could store your backpacks in the car, too? And, out of curiousity, how did you feel as a nurse when you read some of the survivalist ideas of stocking up on fish antibiotics and veterinary IV supplies for human use during emergencies??

[@tammybelt1621]

Get showers curtains at dollar tree to make temporary shelters also clothes pins and cord. Dont forget 3 pair of socks. Very important

[@donnastevenson6700]

I loved this vlog. Very informative. Once again sending huge hugs from upstate ny. Everyone needs a hug. Sending 10 more put in the back backs. If you are in a situation to use these packs definitely going to need a packed hug lol

[@serenacoronado9822]

Love it i never thought of that now ill need to do that thank you for sharing You could put the heavy foods in a container store with back packs Tobin is so cute he wanting to blog now 😍Have a blessed week

[@Brotherdavidl]

I suggest some coloring pencils and coloring books as well, and some sleeping bags for each person and you can even find online or have someone to make the baby one as well..maybe even some Hand held games to keep them occupied, Just a thought from one mom to another

[@jent.3816]

Great! I am working on lists for my bug out bags. We have nine kids as well.

[@naomidunbar719]

I remember from when I was around 3 years old, my mom had done packing like this because a forest fire was threatening the small town we lived in. Way back in the early 1960s there were no such thing as back packs. She had suitcases and boxes packed and in the car trunk, ready to go if they called for evacuation. Luckily for us the wind changed direction back on the fire and the firefighters were able to get it under control. Now, this is all told to me after I got older. All I remember of the incident was the strong smell of burning wood as the smoke blew toward town and the red haze I could see from my bedroom window.

[@busybaldaufs896]

This is awesome, I remember you talking about this last year and I started my own for my fam of 5, but of course got sidetracked with other projects Lol. I did, however, get inexpensive packs of whistle key chains(so you can hook on backpack zipper) and those foil blankets on Amazon. Can't remember price but both were very inexpensive 💜

[@mamasaurusrex5915]

I think the back packs being a little heavy would be worth the promise of food 😂 at least for me anyway!!

[@becskirk293]

I think for the very little kids they wouldn’t even be able to carry them…..especially since clothes and shoes have to go in too. The bags would need to be huge to fit it all in.

[@lynda6585]

I have two ..one has wheels...can roll if too heavy or I'm tired, etc.

[@JordanBudgets]

Love all of your videos Jamerrill, thanks for sharing! 💗💗💗💗

[@blueharley84]

Lil Tobin is absolutely adorable

[@hobocamp1072]

I would also add birth certificate and ss cards, depending on where you have to go- also don't forget about pets! Thank you for your awesome list and great ideas, super helpful!

[@AbbyWoodlandAuthor]

This! I’m a prepper so I love this 🥰

[@lynda6585]

Have started MT kit...thanks for your guide ..will check it against what I've collected so far..Need radio ..saw one Amazon.. that was windup and solar with phone charger and had flashlight with emergency flasher..price wasn't bad $23..getting it this month. Cute baby😘😘😘..

[@grandcatsmama3421]

On one video I saw a man hung a tarpaulin all the way around his camp site, it helped cut down on the wind blowing, and the temperature too. You could leave a couple in the van for cold weather, or a windstorm.

[@utoniaraaf7367]

Great idea! You could put safety pins and other items on clothing or hats. How about tools for the older kids like pocket knife pliers, screwdriver, nail Clippers, etc. Its also nice to emergency packs in case to have to take off for a family emergency.

[@grandcatsmama3421]

Remember to pack an extra pair or two of leggings as an extra layer in case the temperature drops. Use them for girls and boys too. They may not like the idea of wearing "girl's clothes" but when it's freezing out, they won't mind any more. Buy them in navy, brown and black for the boys. No silly designs for them. Especially in a grid down, they'll be glad to be warm. I bought a backpack for myself and one for my nephew. As well as two small mini packs, I figured he will carry the black backpack and the black mini pack could be worn in front. I ordered another mini pack in purple for myself. I use it as a purse for now. You can always carry extra socks, undies, an extra water bottle and small things in them. My backpack has pockets for two water bottles on either side. Rose Red Homestead has shown water reservoirs that she and her husband carry with them when camping. Great for the adults, but I don't know if they come in smaller sizes for the older children or not. You'd have to check the website.

[@melissasoriano1745]

Thank you so much for this, Jamerrill! ❤️

[@jeanettenancyscott2743]

My opinion any back pack to heavy for a younger child can be carried by an older child. Although younger children can carry more than you think most of the time. The thing is to have enough for 72 hours plus you never know you may have visitors when it happens so you may need extra for them

[@kimscrafttime9184]

Make sure you pack the change of clothing and extra pair os shoes in water proof zip bags
