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.
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
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. Asthma Inhaler ( even if you don't have asthma you might get outnof breath sometimes) 16. Sunglasses 17. Showercaps to protect your hair from bugs and water 18. A note with the kids name, their parents names, the parents email and phone number 19. A note with their doctors contact information *for emergencies where they need a doctor*
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😍❤️
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.
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!
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 :)
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'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.
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 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.
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
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 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
Water bottles will be AMAZING and also sometimes some people will need sleep so I recommend a pillow and some cards for entertainment ❤❤❤❤❤❤😍😍😍🤩🤩😘😘😘😚☺️☺️
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 🥰🥰
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
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.
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
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 ❤
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 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.
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 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’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!
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 :)
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
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.
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.
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.
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 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 👍🏻.
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
If I would add anything- I’d add some more lightweight food! Or even light tinned food. I know the nuts and snacks would last for 72 hours, but it helps to have more of a ‘meal’! ❤️❤️
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.
I reserved an airbnb in Kyiv for a few days with the intention of the owner to take the money and use it for their family. It warmed my heart because the man was able to buy a few survival items and some warm clothes ❤
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
insect bug spray this really cons in handy if a bug bites you spay or is like a cream use this and the swelling or anything it Prevent it Or scratching I use it a lot this is really good ❤❤❤
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
You literally think of everything! I have seen so many things you’ve prepared that I never thought of making, such as the teen emergency kits. I love that! Implementing this kit in my home as well asap! ❤️
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!
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!
We’re coming to your house when there’s an emergency! 😂 Even though it’s an 11 hour drive! Anyway, your 72 hour kits are amazing! Love how prepared you guys are! Especially since Utah has been weird the last 10 years with tornados and earthquakes! 🤔
I would suggest to put something in the 72 hour bag that is something meaning like a memory item so that you have comfort with you Thank you for the opportunity to try and win this I’ve been trying to win one of your giveaways for so long but never happens to maybe this time 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 I love you guys so much and that’s really great of you guys to do giveaways also hope ellcee is feeling a lot better
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!❤😊
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
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 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!
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 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👏👏😀
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!
Literally the most organized Mum I know. I have an emergency bag I use every time I go on a walk.safety in a walk is best. The lip balms are the cutties and got strawberry 🍓 one for my last Birthday and clean still. I like the inspiring videos and Tick Tocks and love the music on videos as well. Your an amazing caring family,so organized and house is big but amazing and family orientated,that's a sweet thing,good.My Nephew of 6 said I'd take Bubbles to a desert island 🏝️ and it was a chat about what would you take and I won due to saying first aid kits.
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.
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
whats in the kit- Hope this helps!!🙂🙂

They did remember the female items, but the rest is great! They could even get dog back packs that the dogs can cardy
I would add an AirTag to all of their book bags ❤❤❤❤
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!

Asthma inhaler-you’ll never know when you need this.
Thermometer-Easy to detect fevers
not everyone needs the inhaler
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
I love your guises channel it’s amazing all the support you get each other is amazing😊
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.
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!

OH MY GOSH. THIS IS THE FIRST VIDEO OF YOURS THAT I WATCHED AND YOU HAVE A LOT OF KIDS!😊 not in a mean way
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.
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.
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
me and my sister love your family❣❣❣❣❣❣❣❣❣❣❣❣❣❣❣❣❣❣
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 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
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 actully cant think of anything you Guys thaugt of everything WoW btw i love your vids keep the good work up❤️
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
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
I would definitely add bug repellent and anti-fog wipes, especially for people who have glasses!! And for the gas mask.
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 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!
Gas mask were a smart idea! Never would of thought of that. Love how you care so much of ur family:)
ظ😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘👄
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 love your videos, they're so cool.😂😂😂❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊😅😅😅😅🎉🎉
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 :)
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💡
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 think that you got everything 🤩 i love your videos and i would love to meat youuuuu😘😘😘🥰🥰 even if i liv in spain😭😭😭😭😭💓💓💓
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.
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.
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
NAYVEE is Cute young lady
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 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 will obviously subscribe you deserve it for your lovely vidoes
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 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😁
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
I love our videos ❤😊
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.
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.
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've been trying to start one and if I won this really helped me out❤❤ god bless you guys
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.
If I would add anything- I’d add some more lightweight food! Or even light tinned food. I know the nuts and snacks would last for 72 hours, but it helps to have more of a ‘meal’! ❤️❤️
I would probably add a pack of playing cards to help with the tention of the emergency! Xx
You guys are my favorite TH-camrs love you guy. - Parker 😁
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
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
I reserved an airbnb in Kyiv for a few days with the intention of the owner to take the money and use it for their family. It warmed my heart because the man was able to buy a few survival items and some warm clothes ❤
I would had a ligther to make a small fire to make food you can stake like fish❤😁💪
what a huge family
Love these! Been wanting to put one together for myself. I’d add a box of matches and fire starting bricks!
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
insect bug spray this really cons in handy if a bug bites you spay or is like a cream use this and the swelling or anything it Prevent it
Or scratching I use it a lot this is really good ❤❤❤
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
You literally think of everything! I have seen so many things you’ve prepared that I never thought of making, such as the teen emergency kits. I love that! Implementing this kit in my home as well asap! ❤️
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
Just in case of the flashlights die you should add a crayon flashlight😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
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🇨🇦🇨🇦
We’re coming to your house when there’s an emergency! 😂 Even though it’s an 11 hour drive! Anyway, your 72 hour kits are amazing! Love how prepared you guys are! Especially since Utah has been weird the last 10 years with tornados and earthquakes! 🤔
I would have to get on a plane I live in Ohio
mine 31 hours away in car
never mined its 39
Might as well go to the nearest target if you're planning on traveling that far lol!!
I would suggest to put something in the 72 hour bag that is something meaning like a memory item so that you have comfort with you
Thank you for the opportunity to try and win this I’ve been trying to win one of your giveaways for so long but never happens to maybe this time 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I love you guys so much and that’s really great of you guys to do giveaways also hope ellcee is feeling a lot better
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!❤😊
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
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 a stocking hat or extra pair of socks in case of an emergency during colder weather✔️
Can we just appreciate how they make these videos to inertan us and do all these things for us 😊😢
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!
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 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👏👏😀
Sleeping bag for you and your family can be comfortable well they sleep 💤 ❤❤
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!
One item could be a flash light for the dark in case someone doesn’t like the dark! Or £20 for each person ❤️
they put a flashlight in there
Literally the most organized Mum I know. I have an emergency bag I use every time I go on a walk.safety in a walk is best.
The lip balms are the cutties and got strawberry 🍓 one for my last Birthday and clean still.
I like the inspiring videos and Tick Tocks and love the music on videos as well.
Your an amazing caring family,so organized and house is big but amazing and family orientated,that's a sweet thing,good.My Nephew of 6 said I'd take Bubbles to a desert island 🏝️ and it was a chat about what would you take and I won due to saying first aid kits.
Hair ties, matches ,lighter, underwear, bug spray, body products /hair, sun shades, cash ,books,bandages,
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
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
This must have cost a fortune
@@savannah2683 if it was sponsored then there would be an ad in between the video
