Building a 72 Hour Emergency Kit

Folks that NEED glasses should keep a spare set with their bag , also if you expect to go through woods, get the safety side shields for your glasses. I also keep a brand new set of insoles for my shoes.

I'd like to add a couple things to this great video: 1. Setup two dates (fall and spring) to review the contents of the kit and make sure that everything is still good to go. Things do go wrong and I've seen batteries leak, seals fail, etc. 2. Verify expiration dates and ensure that everything has at least two years left. I was out with a friend and had a headache and they dug through the first aid kit they kept in the car for some aspirin...that had expired five years earlier. 3. Just like the tag on the cape warns, "Possession of cape does not convey the ability to fly", so to, possession of all these items does not confer the ability to use them or even understand how they are supposed to be used. At the very least, seek a good trauma medicine course and if you can, a basic bushcraft course that will teach how to live outside in an emergency.

Cash. If the power and/or communications are down you won't be able to use plastic for gas, food/water, repair items, hotel, etc. Always a good idea to have some cash with you.

I'd like to recommend a red filter for a flashlight. In a military-type situation, you might not want to reveal your position. It also preserves your dark adaptation at night. I think this is a major oversight in prepper/survival kits.

Here is a Katrina tip for home !!!! For light, almost everyone had solar sidewalk lights and they are cheap put out in the day bring them in at night, put back out in they day, pet and kid friendly, they can also recharge rechargeable batteries if you have enough AA Great video !! as always !!

One thing I noticed , nobody mentioned a pocket Bible. Yes it has weight and volume. Still a needed item.

I live in a small apartment which doesn't have much room for storing a lot of emergency items. This video has given me a great alternative to use in a small living space, thank you.

I would add antibacterial hand gel. The knife is cool but would recommend more of a bushcraft style like an ESEE. Some type of eye protection. A good local or state map of area and a compass. Superglue is handy and would have it with my med kit. Good video!

Sootch00 & Sensible Prepper still making videos I wanna watch after so many years. THANK YOU

Today in Houston we had a massive explosion caused by an industrial accident, hundreds of home become instantly unlivable and this just highlights the importance of being prepared.

I already build 3 B.O.B and 5 fire kits inspire by your videos. I Love your Chanel. Thank you for your knowledge.

I freaking love these type of vids this is the reason that inspired me to make a bug out bag

Great video! I keep female large max maternity pads in my kits. Good for large wounds, cuts, or if you have females with you that may need them. Good multi purpose item.

I always keep trick light birthday candles and a small magnifying glass in my fire kits.

As always, another great video! Congrats from a Brazilian fan! This notion of preparedness is just beginning to catch on down here. Your videos on the matter really makes a difference. Thank you Sir!

Dryer lint is a good way to start a fire just saying

Great video and primer on 72-hour preparedness! A few things I would like to add to this: Duct tape/Gorilla tape can be used as a fire starter. Adding an iso-prop canister and burner will let you boil water quickly for dehydrated meals/coffee/tea. Add a multi-tool on top of the fixed blade for scissors, pliers, and similar. Add gas mask/surgical mask/face masks to keep safe in adverse conditions. Compass and maps of your local area in case you need to leave your immediate area. Store your important documents in a waterproof bag like a locsac. That's just a few things I'd add to this kit to ensure I have the right tools for an emergency.

Mess kits work great in cooking..packs well..I use it in camping...works greats

Along with the cards a set of dice would also be entertaining.
