What's INSIDE Our 72 HOUR EMERGENCY "BUG OUT" Bags? (Prepping for a HURRICANE)

[@MrsAlmaTrumble]

Praying that everyone stays safe from Hurricane Melton and those affected by Hurricane Helene.

[@starshinning]

Thank you friend for you kindness 🙏🏾

[@MrsAlmaTrumble]

Milton but Melton*

[@maibrittbirchrasmussen9762]

Does anyone know how the family is doing after the Hurricane Milton? I am so worried.

[@JsFirstUTube]

They have just posted a new video so they are ok😊

[@cecilyerker]

If you have cats, you need to get harnesses and leashes for them. You may have to travel on foot and not be able to carry them, and you cannot let them run free because they are prey for coyotes. You might also have to forego the litter box in the car and get them to use the toilet outside on the grass.

[@SpinoReindel]

I came across this video by chance. I looked at *hotdups* bags. They have many styles. In the end, I chose the most classic ones. After receiving the bag, its leather and details were very good.

[@mchowe01]

I just updated ours too after seeing what happened to Asheville. I added a Fannypack attached to the backpack in case they need to ditch the heavy backpack. The Fanny pack is really the essentials. Insulin, epi pens, Inhaler, meds.

[@Amaya_Doll04]

Cat rescuer in tornado valley here! You're going to want a hard plastic cat carrier. Yes, it takes up more space and is more expensive, but well worth price, you can even find ones with wheels to be able to even easier transport your kitties. Predators can easily tear into the mesh sides of these as well as if your kitties get scared/stressed/bored they can claw out. Its also not going to protect them in a car accident or fallen debris like a hard shell carrier

[@OussyKhanna]

Rich people are not like you or me. They compete with each other in yachts, jewelry, art, travel and homes. Meanwhile, we're on the subway or bus with our precious Louis Vuittons. Why bother? *hotdups* More rational.

[@LunnaLupus]

Praying your family stays safe. 🙏🏼❤

[@tinas_craft_creations]

Thank you for including your pets..I know too often people will leave their pets behind in an emergency and it's so sad. Hopefully the hurricane misses you all but if not, stay safe and get out if you need to. ❤️

[@jenc7017]

For the cat litter, try using newspaper in a baggie to keep it dry. It’s a little bit less bulky and all you have to do is tear it up and put it in the box they’ll use it.

[@annacarlsson1280]

Get a small blanket or souch that you realy get the cats scents on and put it in the carrier!!! Stroke it all on them, especialy the cheeks and souch!! The scent can help calm them :) And harness train them and put the harnesses and leashes together with the cat supplies!! And some kinds of dry meats with no flaworings would be nice as treats 😁 It would actualy be great to keep the carrier in your living space a few weeks to realy make them used to it and to put their scent into it!!

[@MichelleJones-p4e]

Thanks for the updated video. I try to review my 72-hour kit supplies every 6 months, so now is the time (for me)! 😁 You have stated you are new to kitties: love the thought & energy you put in for their benefit! One thing to consider: get them both a harness & leash to pack with their kits. If the situation allows, they would probably benefit from ‘stretching their legs’, and with a leash you won’t lose them, even if something startled them. If a harness / leash is new to them, work with to get them used to them now, so in an emergency situation they are already used to them. ❤️

[@theedgyteenager9383]

I am very late I know, but I just wanted to mention that you should take any batteries out of devices before you store them long-term. I hope y'all don't need them at all, but battery corrosion happens faster than you'd think. I'd also recommend replacing the pack of batteries in your kit every year or so, just to make sure they're still good. They stop being as affective after awhile and the only thing worse than being underprepared in an emergency is being prepared only to find out your gear is no good.

[@Dolce_Far_Niente]

You are super organised. I hope you won't have to use it.

[@cecilyerker]

Very important to also pack extra underwear, you can get an infection if you wear dirty underwear for many days. Probably the most important item in the clothing bag.

[@Rachel-id8tt]

A good option may even be a pack of disposable undies. Pull ups for littles, and something like TENA incontinence pants for the adults. They're light and can be discarded after use.

[@31782mbnh]

Get protein shake packets instead of pre-made shakes. Then you can add an extra bottle of water.

[@elisaquilling682]

Prayers for everyone! Thank you for the video and great ideas! ❤

[@happybaby323]

For the cat litter in a car we use a storage container. We got one for $5 from Walmart with a lid. Then cut a hole into the side we wanted so they could enter as they wanted. It’s not too big to take up a bunch of space in the car but large enough so that our larger boy can comfortably be inside with plenty of space to move around. Our litter we use is the wood chips that people use for animal bedding usually. It works great, it’s lightweight and super cheap. We get a giant bag from Walmart for $9 that lasts us months though they have smaller packs too. We put a blanket that we can shake out and wash easily in front for any wood chip transfer, as well as a corrugated scratched in front of the hole to help catch any litter as well and they can scratch after getting out. We also sometimes put pee pads in the bottom of the container and that helps too. The wood chips also don’t smell as much as litter imo.

[@kayliginocchio831]

I watched your last one of these videos about a year and a half ago and immediately made one for my dog and I. I'm so thankful I saw the video and did because my apartment building had a fire a few months back and while I wasn't actually displaced, knowing I had this bag with me with everything I needed for me and my dog took a huge level of stress off of me.

[@31782mbnh]

Also helpful hint on box under the carrier. Wrap it in plastic wrap or something or just bring a regular cheap litter box just punch a hole in the corner and rope tie it to the backpacks. You might also want to upgrade those backpacks to more camping style backpacks for the adults. As for kitty litter. Just regular dirt from outside would work if you have to bug out. Make sure kitty documents are stored too

[@kristenkrzepek3577]

For travel litter, we use feline pine. It smells good and fits perfectly into a gallon zip-lock bag. It also is biodegradable. Great update video! I’ve packed similar bags from your last video a few years ago. So this will help me also update with my older kids too. Stay safe and praying you never have to use them!

[@kaumadiewickramasinghenuga9012]

Praying everyone is safe and well. When you were packing, I was like "Hey I pack the same way!"... then I realized I learned to pack and organize (especially bug out bags) from YOU. 😊

[@auntrowdy]

Jennifer, look for the Tidy Cat Lightweight Litter. It’s a little bit more expensive but the weight limit is drastically less! I just put a gallon size ziplock freezer bag of it in my cat’s go bag. I’m not sure if there’s a better way to transport it, but I figured it was enough for at least one or two small boxes.

[@yaowsers77]

I love the 2 -gallon Ziploc bags! I use them for travel as compression cubes and dirty laundry. Stay safe

[@nicoleward8839]

I will be praying for you and your family and everyone in Florida.

[@amandapike3333]

Praying For You Guys. Please Be Safe. I Hope You Guys are At a Safe Location.

[@libertyg4402]

Thank you for sharing about the totes you use! Ive been trying to think of a good way to keep all the bags together but out of the way. This is perfect!!

[@tracyforrest2253]

Thanks for the tip. I’m here in Central Florida too. Stay safe

[@nasir-tj9tb]

I hope you and your family stay safe during this hurricane

[@emmarubenstein9085]

Sending prayers to your family...be safe ..💜🙏💜

[@josiee4657]

We live in south Florida and hope we never have to use our kits either!

[@suebaxter301]

all last night been watching 72 hr emergency kits and heating, when i came back on this morning your video popped up on my page. i love the idea of the backpack. i sent this to both my daughters. yes if you have pets you need to make something for them. my church does what are called crisis care kits, which helps when there is a disaster, the main warehouse i think is in Penn. thank you for your idea as well... the only thing is that my youngest granddaughter and I have to have things that are gluten free. so that will be a challenge, but we will figure it out

[@OussyKhanna]

I love *hotdups* that on the butterfly bag it says auguri / tanti auguri which means happy birthday

[@lisalopez5078]

Yes we live in Northern California and i just up dated mine this weekend !! must be prepared !!

[@SuperGiggles1982]

I hope you all stay safe. I have been thinking about you all with these hurricanes. I can not imagine what you're going through. Make sure to have some cash on hand as well.

[@emmerenchianortje9671]

You can teach your cats to do their business outdoors. You can also just add a small shovel (like what hikers use) to fill the litter box with sand/dirt/small rocks instead of carrying litter with you.

[@VanillaBelleASMR]

Love how there are four people who are ‘first’

[@kanchalaj9978]

Also best to have some emergency cash! Great video :)

[@janjones4224]

Very helpful, thanks for sharing.

[@angelicagutierrez666]

Honestly. I’d probably go thru the whole bag in a day just from stress 😅 hope you guys stay safe

[@katrinaluxford6400]

i would add sleeping bags for each person and a family tent.

[@calliegagnon3188]

aww you’re two kitty’s are soo cute

[@leybapat]

Jennifer icon in a lot of videos. You’re such a good mom I’m subscribed to you and I like your videos and I think you’re just a great mom.❤❤❤

[@apt221bbakerst]

As to cat litter, they have pine pellets and light weight litter that you can try.

[@ayraandhafnabff]

I love these bug out bags they are really helpfull ❤ Edit 1:- Under 1 hr ganggg

[@kristenhamilton5843]

Please add some type of life vest to your emergency kits either regular ones or the pull string inflatable ones stay safe

[@janh5199]

I may have missed it, but did you include a couple pairs of nitrile gloves for handling contaminated items and your emergency records binder? I love your choices and organization. Be safe!

[@PaisleyScott-cx8qt]

y'all hope your ok! I love y'all

Don’t forget to make a copy of the pets rabies vaccination paperwork and chip information along with your vet’s contact information. I have my bug out bag for our dog ready. We also packed a spare leash and harness.

[@calitopgun]

I hope you stay safe😍

[@hihihehe1172]

Good luck❤

[@Camicutzherself]

I have been subscribed to you for like so long and I've been waiting for another. One of these videos for so long cause. The last time I watched you was from the last bug out bag video.

[@btsrosaline3559]

We don’t necessarily get hit by tornadoes or hurricanes in my area, but this might be a good idea to do one for winter considering we have a chance of losing powers

[@kaylawhite8529]

You’re such a good momma!!🩵

[@JuliaJassova]

Was here for the first video and state until the 2nd

[@jesuszubizarreta]

This is great 🎉

[@onlyinparadise4613]

Nice kit! Thanks for sharing 👍. Stay safe! Do you end up eating all of the food at the end of the expiration date and replacing them again?

[@brunoyearns239]

Are you okay after the crazy hurricane came and straight

[@jepense82]

I hope your family is safe during hurricane Melton and hurricane helene

[@SyedaAlishaNaqvi]

One should also keep a power bank and extra chargers in their bug out bags

[@HELLOISME_blablabla]

FOR 3 days?

[@Cindi.Bennett]

Yes, that gives time if people in the family get separated and need to rendevu at our safe spot or need to figure out more permanent relocation or travel or help from emergency services. (Our family does not rely on the government services for immediate assistance for housing or food in the event of a disaster) Hope this provides some clarification.

[@thegreatestoftheseislove1c379]

Also, in the likely event that we lose power. It may take the city a couple of days to recover electricity. We may actually need more days if the stores remain closed for a couple of days due to the outages.

[@MelanieCravens]

No books to read? I'd at least put in a couple of classics in paperback form. They could be read outloud for the family to enjoy and I bet if you ended up in an emergency shelter people around you would be drawn into the stories too as a bit of escape.

[@HeidiTEFLTeacher]

These are some great tips! Thanks for sharing. 😊

Now hurricane is over and all safe

I just hear something on the news dude y’all should probably have about. I’ll be yawls a new person in my family calls me the weather girl and I just heard them said tornadoes. By the way, be safe and I don’t know how that works. I live somewhere that no one doesn’t know where it is and and and I just feel bad for y’all.🌪️☁️⛈️🌧️💨

[@Kamyathegreat1]

Be safe

[@addiprice7976]

I think you forgot to put in a power bank for cell phones and stuff like that

[@rdenney14]

Helene is a hurricane that will go down in history

[@user-bi8ko7kc6h]

I would get better backpacks, especially for kids. Those have almost zero back support and no chest strap. Also family photos and contact details of you and extended family so if (I hope never happened) you guys get separated whoever see the kids knows who to contact. Pull opened cans are great but they may break so you still need can openers.

[@stonedrone001]

I feel so bad for you guys I will not be getting a hurricane because I'm not in America but I'm close to your country

[@pippaburt8485]

Hopefully you will never need these, but such a great idea

[@JamiePopinski]

If you have cats you need to get harness

[@leighahoisington1415]

Definitely evacuate if you are required to

[@StevenReynolds-hf8rm]

She forgot the second most important thing after family. Passports, ssn cards, medical cards, birth certs or immunizationcards. I would toss MREs instead of lentils would keep the beans, Dont think kids will be comfortable enough to play with things in tough conditions. Anti freeze blanket, flares are important too. Its cold up in NC mountains now and hopefully military got to the people on time.
