Most imaginative and creative Dollar Store bug out shopping trip I've seen.

[@Lonewolf-mz9ow]

When I was in the military Foot Care was a High priority,The fresh socks prep caught my ear for sure, Great Haul👍

[@jeffriffel4364]

Pencil sharpeners can be used with sticks for tinder. Tea light candle wax is good for water proofing boots / bags. Great video.

[@urbanhomesteadingchannel1813]

More $$ tree items that are vitally important are changed of clothes. You can get t-shirts and socks at every $$ tree. Also hand and feet warmers. Get a stack of the small potpie size foil pans so you can prepare food. I know you prefer not to cook but for extended periods you will need more than just trail mix and snacks. My suggestion would be to practice preparing small nutritious meals at home. Also get a mini propane tank and some kind of grill top. You may find yourself in a situation where you don't have access to wood for a fire. I realize these suggestions are for extreme situations. But as an army brat married to a US Navy veteran I've been taught to be as prepared as possible. Also consider personal protection. It's your choice how you want to address that.

[@brianfurry348]

great kit. the little scissors maybe for cutting thread. maybe ad a needle and thread in the kits not just for if u tear ur clothes but emergency skin stitch.

[@frankpabon8329]

[@malissa4901]

Maybe garbage bags, not just for garbage but a large one you could make a poncho. You did an awesome job!! Thanks for Sharing and God Bless You!!

[@sophiagrace8362]

I would use the tin foil use as a make shift solor oven.I have the shower curtain liner in each go back to make a shelter and have tea light candles in a medicine bottle along with a few matches and strik e plate from empty boxes of matches also you could dip cotton rounds in wax as a fire starters. Old medicine bottles work great to keep things safe and dry and they float

[@sunshinestatesurvival]

Awesome suggestions!

A woman could carry that into work & no one would ever know, she was ready to go. TAKE CARE..

Love the pencil and magnifying glass idea and I really need that. Very original!

[@shawnclark7326]

Very helpful and great ideas! Girl, you cracked me up when you had the net over your head and also when you said you can play dress up in the woods (with the pantyhose). I love your humor! I follow a lot of preppers, but you and Homestead Corner are my two favorites. I love it when you upload a new video. Keep doing what you do 😊

[@sunshinestatesurvival]

Oh that's awesome. Glad you had a laugh. And I love Homestead Corner too!

[@susans9491]

Those are my two favorites as well! I think it’s because they’re good common sense and offer practical ideas with a positive attitude.

[@christianpalmer]

Sailor's use them

[@cruiser122s.d.8]

For Dollar Tree items, that was a pretty good bugout bag haul. For my bugout bag, I would get water, food, hygiene, medicines, first aid stuff, some entertainment items, etc., at Dollar Tree. There are things I won't get at Dollar Tree. Like you said, the knife and other items we should invest in more quality items.

[@jessicathompson236]

*Tortillas *Refried beans *Rice *Cheese sauce *Guacamole *Salsa *Chips *Can chilli *Shelf stable pepperoni *Pizza sauce in the squeeze bottle *Cheese sticks and beef sticks *Mini shelf stable cheeses *Mashed potatoes *Gravy packets *Ramen *Peanut butter *Jelly/jam *Trail mix *Dehydrated banana chips *Pretzel sticks *Meat packets *Granola bars *Poptarts *Peanut butter crackers *Cheese and crackers *Jar of instant coffee *Creamer *Cocoa *Tea *Electrolytes *Powdered drink mixes

[@Texasgirl4real]

FABULOUS video... mosquito net is brilliant. 🤠🤠🤠

[@sunshinestatesurvival]

Lol, it was a little tight, but would be worth it

[@LS-lb7pw]

When I first began prepping, I made our packs from Dollar Tree.. They have some great items, no need to go expensive for short term survival. We used our DT bags 3 times in evacuations. I did add mini sawyer water filters for each bag. If we got separated each of us could safely drink mountain water. We live in the forest so depending on one's area, I would suggest Dollar Tree's Tool Bench 4x6 blue tarp... pack 2 tarps /bag + their leaf trash or heavy trash bags to fill with leaves to sleep on if no adequate shelter available. Tool Bench 40ft diamond braided rope or TB 25 ft paracord , can make a ridge line for the tarp etc.. Tool Bench safety glasses or goggles. Tool Bench 5 pack bungee cords. TB disposable masks (protect from smoke etc.) There's much more DT has to offer to make a decent bag, these are just some of the items we actually used when we had to bug out. Prepare and stay safe everyone. 😊

[@jrae6608]

Good idea’s

[@vickiemears1363]

You should add trick candles to your bug out bags

[@micheleaday3902]

Thank You Great Bug Out Bag And Items❤

[@seanpenrod]

Great ideas, I'd add a shower curtain for a tarp from DOLLAR TREE.

[@sunshinestatesurvival]

I actually needed a shower curtain for home, and they didn't have any!

[@keahithefieryone8513]

The shower curtain holes really is a plus!

[@patriciagale5047]

I have a knee brace, ankle brace, Neosporin, heavy duty garbage bag, jar of honey roasted peanuts for protein, extra shirt and socks, handkerchiefs, two bottles waters, life straw drink bottle, sawer water filters, foldable reading. glasses,, some cash, solar radio which can charge a cell phone and pain relievers

[@patriciagale5047]

Also a three pack of lighters, some thin cardboard for starting fires if everything is wet, duct tape.

[@eddiealexander8362]

Love the net on your head

[@sunshinestatesurvival]

Lol

[@judiehavard4903]

Add 2 large rubber bands to go over shoes and around pant leg bottoms. And at least a piece of rope for a belt. To keep those bugs out. Also a small hairbrush and ponytail holders.

[@sunshinestatesurvival]

Great ideas. Live the rubberbad/ hair band for covering shoes!

[@nannyprep2690]

The best content today. Thank you ❤ Stay blessed

[@laurievoelker9005]

Wow, what a bag of tricks ❗ 😊

[@Inthesouth2]

Get a dish towel at the $ tree too. Good for cleaning up or wiping sweat. Add nutritional bars.

[@joeyjennings9548]

lots of good ideas 👍 also helping to remind stuff i ran low on. my backpack has not been updated lately. my gloves are very used need replacing lol. what i used to start fires in damp or rain was sterno gel from those sterno cans it burns good to start damp wood. just store in a ziplock bag might leak.. i like the long lighters. baby wipes & zip lock bags i used most. paper towels too. plus walmart bags the plastic ones are free 👍

[@jeffriffel4364]

Only thing missing is bacon 🥓 and a machine gun oh yeah dollar tree, great haul.

[@krislarsen6546]

Hey another thing the dollor store has a 4 pack of heavy duty black trash bags that would work much better than those thin plastic for shelter

[@therobinmasterstheory1636]

Also those rain poncho's are good too, except my DT never has them but some other stores do. Thanks for posting. 😊

[@susans9491]

Well thought out choices! I think I’d include a DT container of petroleum jelly (no name Vaseline) because it is a great fire starter, will go further than the chapstick. Also is a good skin protectant, my skin is really dry.

[@josephmckenzie8953]

If you watch for the medicated lip balm, it usually has an SPF rating, and though not great sunscreen, can protect your ears, cheeks and nose from sun burning. Did a lot of Dollar Tree first aid kits and grub stakes with my Boy Scout Troop. I used to give each patrol $20 to buy their groceries for a weekend outing, to teach them how to budget.

[@sunshinestatesurvival]

Oh that's awesome!

[@louisejohnson6625]

You could sleep on the table cloth to keep the dampness of the ground away from your body.

[@dachedetre]

My additions would be cup of soup packet and tea bags individually wrapped. And for medical would be allergy med. Ive never had allergies and last year I swelled up so bad and I couldn't breath. I ran to my everything bag and sure as **** I found Claritin from the dollarstore that I had bought and had instant relief. I thought I was having a reaction to beer but it was the pollen that was on my deck. I've since went to Costco and stacked allergy medicine lol. I like your idea of the toiletries bag. I am going to keep an eye out for those. Keep gathering even if u don't think u will need something. It might just save u someday xx

[@ozarksprepper]

Great video!

You can use tampons and female pads to help bleeding, I have seen a person actually use a tampon to put in a open wound

[@sunshinestatesurvival]

[@axerxes3981]

Sunshine.... Darlin.... Esculent, excellent!! Your ideas are terrific, but lack practical application. Before the SHTF, take your sweet self and your hubby and/or kids and try spending a night out with your kit. Even if it's only in your backyard. If you are expecting to encounter scarious, life and death problems along the way, you need to upgrade your kit... easy to do on KZbin or Prepper channels. You're off to a good start, but you have aways to go. Keep at it and may God bless you. Ax

[@gericheng3156]

Very practical. Good suggestions

[@TheresOnlyOneWayToRock]

Had a knife just like that as a EDC pocket clip-on and it lasted me for a couple years. I think I paid about $7 for it. The flashlight looked good for being a dollar store light. Some great ideas for a budget BOB. 👍

[@gatorfamily7523]

Great video! Coffee filters maybe a good addition to your pantyhose.. so many uses for filters and a really lightweight item. I am definitely adding those poop bags to mine!

[@sunshinestatesurvival]

Oh you're right about the coffee filters! You can use them as makeshift paper plates, napkins, toilet paper, water filtration

[@michaehayes7922]

Crayons for "fire"

[@greyhatdone]

❤️

[@FloridaHippie]

You’re so clever! The only thing I would add, unless I missed it, is a toothbrush toothpaste and soap garbage bags ☀️

[@sunshinestatesurvival]

Got the toothbrush and toothpaste, and little doggy doodoo bags lol. But no soap, that's definitely a must!

[@lynnheffron6905]

Sunshine, try the foaming no-rinse soap like that used in hospitals to conserve water. I order it through my Medicare Advantage OTC Benefits. ⚘️

[@chammer1071]

Pads and tampons are also good for wounds. Shower curtains, tarps, and garbages bags for shelter. The small peanut butter cups and my DT have individual bottles of Boost. The bottle would be good for other things. And to keep in the vehicle but light enough they could be carried or attached to the bag and have multiple uses are the sun windshield covers and the cooler bags. Now is a good time to look at the garden area. The small tools like the spade and clippers. And the open top watering can is perfect as an urinal. Anti diarrhea meds. Sometimes they have the flashlights that you squeeze and don't have to worry about batteries. Also headlamps. Also a poncho, baby blankets and pillows cases.

[@btolson66]

The net bag could also be a refrigerator system. Put items in and drop in an area where you are getting water to filter. The water should keep it cold or cool. Another option would be a sling if you have a arm injury. Use a cord or even bungee cord ( from the dollar tree) hook on either end and rest arm in( maybe cut end? Put cord around neck. This was awesome. I love the grey woman concept because mine is obviously a bug out bag!

[@sunshinestatesurvival]

Awesome ideas!

[@kissitnow898]

From another great channel here on KZbin Ranger survival and field craft "Always have a knife a way to start a fire and a snack in your pocket" Just like your budget kit presentation Good advice. Thanks

[@mrshomer3218]

Great video. We packed get home bags and included stuff from around the house. We packed a couple of days of our medications, sewing kit, lighters and hot hands. Thanks for the great ideas.

Shower curtain can also be used to make a shelter.

Great finds Sunshine.

[@chrisrasmussen4612]

Bakers twine. I bought a tarp and a shower curtain for my shelter. I also use parachute cord for stringing shelter. From Dollar Tree

[@anniewildmush1284]

the pencil sharpener is perfect to help keep those shavings in that compartment if its windy.. :-) i like that ... and u could undo it and use that small blade to gut fish ... lol

[@sunshinestatesurvival]

Awesome idea!

[@paemtff9412]

Celebrity Luncheon Loaf made in Denmark. Protein packaged very good utilizing an attached key to open it (vs pull-top which is a liability) I keep a couple cans in my bag.

[@nildasantiago6330]

[@marilynparmelee]

Good job

[@susandavidson635]

Some really good ideas here!!

[@ggdeb2963]

You should also add a needle & thread , some cloves for numbing or clove oil , a small bottle of alcohol & any meds the person is on. Also, some jewelry wire for example, for making a snare to trap food & a fishing hook & fishing string etc.

[@crickettjd]

Love all the ideas, a shower curtain may be a little thicker for shelter, cover, etc. and make sure you check in the craft area for the jute twine they have it there and in the gardening section.

[@sunshinestatesurvival]

I checked all over for jute twine and a shower curtain, and unfortunately they didn't have either :( Maybe next time I go, they'll have it stocked up

[@patriciagale5047]

Dollar General has jute twine.

[@kimbalion5545]

Be careful putting loose batteries in a bag. They line up right and can create a very hot environment. My pocket got burning hot.

[@mariewaldrep863]

Loved this video. I need to put something together. At the least get some of the first aid and foods to put in a bag and water. God bless you and your son.

[@johnlynch7834]

Hi Sunshine! Okay, you got me thinking!!! This is why I love, love, love your video's! Multi vitamins very important. Small bottles of wine? A plastic folding cup and small paper plates, small bag of plastic utensils, bandaids, small pepto-bismol or the tablets, hand lotion, neosporin, coloring book and crayons just for fun. Love the small mesh bags. In a pinch, the pair of pencils could be used as chop sticks. Small salt and pepper things, and sugar packets. The tea lights are perfect. Going to my $Tree tomorrow and fill in based on your suggestions! Thanks!

Great video, may I add that shower curtain is great temp shelter and it has holes already to tie off to a branch, alcohol wipes, a puzzle or crossword to keep you entertained, can opener or even a military P38, but I have used a knife in a pinch, couple of handkerchiefs can use around your neck to keep sun and bugs off, also a makeshift mask, a hat to keep the sun off your face, Happy Bug Out everyone!

[@lavondakrout2848]

foil can be used to sharpen your scissors. you fold it over the foil and use the scissors on it. I take used foil and sharpen my kitchen scissors with it. for eyes I have used polysporin to help with eye irritations. it works rather well as it melts on contact with the eye
