1. Family photo in each bag with emergency contact info on back, laminate, or put in a ziplock. 2. Headlamps to keep your hands free, especially using restroom. 3. Figet type items for those who need stimulation or stress release. 3. Face masks could be smoke, dust, chemicals or if you have to evacuate to shelter. 4. Hand sanitizer, wipes and Hannah don't forget some travel makeup wipes for your beautiful skin). 5. Deodorant, travel tooth brush & paste or Wisps - I hate unclean teeth. 6. Weather proof post it notes & sharpie in case you need to leave notes for other family members. 7. Make an emergency plan, contact info, place to meet as older kids are out or working. Have at least 2 meeting places and also a out of state contact like Ariana - everyone can check in with her if separated. Hope this helps. Love your family and all the fun you guys have & the joy you bring others ❤

As a Disaster Services volunteer these are thing that people don’t always think about when building their kits. I recommend an ID for each family member with proof of address, even expired is still good. Also, if anyone is on any prescription medications include that or a least a current prescription. You should also include some cash( about $200 per person) because if you have to evacuate you might need to go somewhere that can’t take credit cards or e cards. I add around $20 every pay day to my bag. You can add age related non electronic entertainment to each kids bag. You also need to set up a meeting place near your home and away from home, especially now that you have so many kids who drive and are away from home. You might want get with all your kids and practice evacuation and meeting. Please suggest the kits for your adults kids also.

Muzzles for dogs can come in handy sometimes. If you have to go into a shelter environment that might be stressful for your dog, it allows more security. I do prefer the basket style muzzles. But, I always recommend training your dog to be able to wear one. Scenario (because I absolutely loved this about your video): a dog can sometimes lash out if they're in pain. If they get hurt and need to be carried or taken to a vet, anytime, not just in a survival situation, a muzzle could be useful. Love you guys and Hannah, you always brighten my day!

Definitely make a bag or multiple bags for the dogs as well. Also test everything so everyone knows how to use the things. Don't leave batteries in the devices. Have a plan on where to meet up in case you get separated. Family photos and information is also key for your bags so that if say your little kids get separated from you who ever finds them can hopefully help them get back to you

i just want to Flex how Maddie is just chilling in the background with his legs elevated on the couch. I mean her Hoomans got this whole emergency thing in the bag... literally lol

If you’re in a place where life jackets are needed don’t forget to get life jackets or flotation methods for your pets as well in case of emergency such as floods. Things such as collapsing bowls, light up collars and a leash could also be useful to have in a bag. Many human medicine is not safe for dogs so finding out which they can have in case of an injury may also be helpful.

Muzzles are an amazing tool. It doesn't matter how friendly your dog is, it can become fearful during a stressful situation or when hurt and may snap. Also, whoever said "if you need to be quiet" should do some research on how muzzles work.

You should definitely get the teens to see if they could survive the 72 hours in a camping ground! It's amazing practice of life skills.

Hey Hannah, i loved your emergency stories/ imaginations. The tampons are really handy. We were on a long trainride when my cousin had a severe nosebleed. We didn't have cottonwool with us to put in her nose to stop the bleeding. So we took a tampon apart (compressed cotton wool) and put that in her nose to stop the bleeding. It worked really well. Love from Holland.

Hey crystal the muzzle is for when ur trying to doctor up ur dog it's not trying to bite u cuz they will be in pain. Also there should be a first aid book for the pet in the first aid bag.

Hanna explaining everything is a whole vibe, 💞

Another way to keep toilet paper in your kit is to remove the cardboard core; squish it flat and put it in a gallon sized ziplock bag.

Crystal, keep the muzzle. You may need it if the dog is injured. Dogs bite without thinking when they are in great pain.

I'd love love love for crazy pieces, crazy middles and Not enough nelsons to all get together!!!! What a vlog that'd be!

Some ideas to add to the kits high visjacket , solar panel for phone changing , radio , foil heat blanket , face mask ,rope, safety pins,wet dry bags , steel/flint for fire , whistles, waterproof tarp,collapsable shovel, compass, head torch , hand sanitizer , bandanas , insect repellent, mosquitoe net , anti itch cream , toothbrush, documents name, number etc and cash

For the pups, make sure you try the socks before hand because a LOT of dogs don’t like them. And muzzle comment. We have a dog who when stressed, will become aggressive. If he’s scared or protecting his territory, he can be aggressive. You’d never know, but we muzzle him to protect HIM. If he’s stressed, the muzzle becomes a safe space for him to show teeth, growl and not become a target of scared individuals.

The applicator free OB tampons are great for nosebleeds. Nail clippers are a must. Zip ties are always handy. The glue sticks that go into glue guns and a regular bic lighter together can repair many things. Solar charging power banks are very useful. Each person having emergency info in a small notebook could be lifesaving. (Contact info, medical info, etc). I do more EDC (everyday carry) bags and kits myself but this is such a good idea for everybody to be prepared in life. 😎

My biggest tip would be cash. When we have hurricanes on the east coast and have to evac. Most stores and gas stations will only take cash. Internet goes down and they loose service for credit card machines and atm's.

Hannah’s reaction and explains had me cracking up 😂 thank you Hannah 💅👸🏻

I love the kits! A couple things i would add is solar power banks, a couple more big tarps bc you all have a large family & those can create waterproof shelter, block sun rays, block wind. Maybe a small compact life vest for Aurora and Arwin incase you have to travel across water & a few cold packs that you just pop the thing inside and it gets really cold just in case someone got to over heated in AZ or for an injury. Just a few things i thought might be a good idea. Love love love the survivor bags! ❤️

A suggestion I have to get because you have such a large family would be a couple of those wagons with the larger wheels. That way if the Littles get to tired to walk or if someone get hurt you have a way to get them safely around.

Had to pause this video and to do therapy. Which reminds me, I gotta thank you guys. It was y’all who gave me the courage and drive to better myself and fight for and advocate for myself. Therapy has been life changing. Wouldn’t have done it when I did without y’all..

First aid kits & Evacuation plans for any situation. In our house we are fully prepped. Pandemics, earthquakes, tsunami's if going to the beach, cyclones. In Aotearoa we had a cyclone. It's going to take years to sort out our infrastructure everywhere in NZ. Roads, water supplies, electricity, coastal erosion... A really good idea is, teach the kids to read Evacuation plans when going in to buildings. Regular fire drills a must too. It's not if it happens, it's when! When anyone visits, they all learn the Evacuation plan. Great post guys.👍 ...Awareness & preparation is the key!😁 Love guys. 🙏❤

Hannah's scenarios were the highlight of the video! Love it!!

Those kits have EVERYTHING! No kidding. Great video…..❤

The muzzles are sometime very useful. If your dog gets hurt. They don't always know that you are trying to help them. And they snap at everything no matter how well they are trained est...

That's great but every single one of your kids should learn how to actually use those things, otherwise if in the future for some reason they need to know how to use it, they will not know how to, which is pointless. They should learn basic things like how to make fire, how to cook the food, purify water, pitch a tent, and so on.

How about making a bag for Mark & everyone that work for/with you in case the emergency happens when they are there & you all need to evacuate.

Get some of those waterproof baggies. That way you can put your phone and other electron things in it to safe them .

Definitely a good time to be prepared!

Hi ❤😊 Will you do some emergency kit for the dogs?

The shaved beard looks great on Aaron took me a while to realize why he looked so much younger and refreshed he reminds me so much of Frankie muniz and I love the brown hair on you crystal pink is your color girl!!!

I agree with Hannah! Feeling self care makes you feel better about the situation

Sturdy work gloves for every able body family member. So many emergencies involve debris and lifting. Bucket brigades, rescue in debris, collecting firewood, etc.

If any child has regular meds they have to take such as inhalers an extra one should be put in their kit

You should use the dehydrator to make your own stored food! It’s much cheaper than buying premade survival food!

I have a few suggestions you might consider to add... First, I suggest a few different size of ace bandages, in the event of a fall of any kind. Next is having headlight style flashlight because who wants to go out for the bathroom and have to squat and wipe when holding a hand held light, also good for night walking. And the next thing is a (probably only need one for the whole family) solar power charger for your phone. Also you might want to have some reflective or glow in the dark tape on the backpack so that you can find it easily in the dark and it will be easy to see each other in the dark. The very last thing is probably not necessary for you in Arizona but for those of us who live in freezing cold temperatures is hand and foot warmers. Try getting some glow in the dark puff paint for writing names on the backpack. Great plan for emergency, thanks for sharing this.

Also make sure you have games, books, coloring pages and markers to help pass the time if u lose power or long drive and no internet or cell phone

One of those flashlights you shake back and forth so you’re not relying on batteries or sun. Bear spray it’s works well to keep all unwanted things away. Medications and if you can get a prescription of antibiotics to put in your kit I’d absolutely recommend it. Change of clothes especially socks. A jar of Vaseline. That works for hundreds of things. Also a personal locator beacon. At least 1. I know they are super expensive but trust me it’s worth it. Water purification straws are much better than tablets.

You might want to also add waterproof note pads/note book and pens/markers.

The older boys Aaron and joe should do a camping video testing these kits out! Who else agrees?

Something else to add might be finger nail clippers, tweezers, rubber bands, and a couple folded garbage bags per back pack that can be used for a variety of things like ground cover for sitting or sleeping (cutting the side seems makes them twice as large), wear for rain cover, added heat retention, to store dirty clothes, etc . . . 👍

Hanna explaining each thing is a whole vibe ❤ love the bankt to protect from aliens ❤ enjoy ❤

Great idea thank you for sharing, I also have a survival Paracord bracelet, in mine it has a hidden compartment in the glasp where I added a small fishing hook and fishing line.

Lol Hannah, let's hope there isn't an alien invasion!

Do you have fire starters? Hey, that would be a great video. Learning how to start a fire without matches.

Hannah has blossomed so, she is so funny. Real cute kid ❤❤😊

Hannah said the water was hard to drink. Pour it in your portable cup. Less likely to spill or lose some or most of your water. Also pack the powder liquid IV hydration packets to add to your water as it takes the one bottle of plain water and will give you the equivalent of having drank 3 bottles of water.

Always watching from the United Kingdom its good to be prepared awesome

That’s a great idea. I should make one up for my car. I travel everyday ty for sharing this. Hugs 💕💕

Muzzle is good to keep too, because some shelters and transport options require that dogs either be crated or muzzled. In addition if a dog gets hurt paired with a crazy stressful situation, or if you have to administer medical treatment on an injured dog they could bite just from the pain. It’s always good to have with large dogs.

The muzzling a coyote part gave me a chuckle...my husband said good luck getting a muzzle on a wild coyote. The green thing you had no idea what it was for is actually a "pill shover" as I call them...meaning if any of the dogs are on a pill form antibiotic you use that to shove the pill down their throat.

I live in an area of Australia where the worst that's ever happened is the power going off for a few hours. A few candles /matches and torches are enough to get through. I can't begin to imagine any scenario where we'd need all those items. Great ideas, though. Watching this video, I kept thinking that if only the kids in Tomorrow When The War Began had had these kits, it would have been a totally different story!)

The orange back pack looks good with Hana skin

Great idea ❤

I had to laugh when my cavoodle puppies stood to attention when Crystal blew the whistle. On a serious note thank you for doing this much needed information. 😊

Blessings to you all.

Make sure to add an outfit, make sure you have some cash to use. Just in case electric is out then you’ll need the cash for stuff. For family your size probably about a thousand to start with. That would be for gas, hotel and food or meds . Then add those water flavor squirt bottle just in case someone can’t drink plain water. Parents make sure you pack some ear plugs because you might need them if kids get wild e specially if you’re driving so you can think clear. Have a written plan and meet up place outside in each backpack so if they forget they can pull it out or in case a little one gets lost they can get someone to help them and to know exactly where to take them. Plus add phone numbers to that paper.

These are awesome!!

I enjoyed your new vlog today and happy birthday brody pettit 😊

Aww nice that we Will see this

I think, you recently talked about it on this channel and on Beyond Crazy. It is an important topic though and good to be prepared. My suggestion is, to show each item and read together the instructions. Then demonstrate how to apply it, if possible. Otherwise it will be panic or chaos in case of emergency and survival. Also, maybe name coaches for small groupes. Lots of succes, Nature and Life can be very capricious. But with common sense we can survive. Take good care.

Bug spray might be an essential depending on where you live

Great thing to do in these times everyone should have one !

I love how maddy is laying upside in background xx

The muzzle is just in case your dog gets hurt. Some dogs will lash out in a painful situation. I would def add it.

hugs from pam and john keep it coming love you all

Loved the Vlog

In Arron’s you should put small hammer and a saw.

Good job you guys

Hello crazy pieces thank you for sharing this amazing video I always love seeing your videos you always make my day better thank you ❤❤

I have never seen the reusable pads before those are interesting and handy ❤

love this kind of videos

Good idea

Very Nice!

for the women with their period look up the brand August, pads because they dissolve in water. It helps the environment if you are in the desert.

Love the intro! Need more like that! Hahaha

Hi cazy pieces I LOVE your videos I've been watching for 6 years you make me happyer every Day you are my HERO Love your family

Lets see, different things to add to a kit. I've watched a few survival shows out there and pretty much all I can think of that is missing is something to start a fire. I'd recommend some sort of tinder, toilet paper helps but adding in another source specifically for fire building would benefit, and some sort of way to start that fire like a lighter or magnifying glass. If you watch the show I recommended in previous comment, they do show you how to start a fire with a stick and a shoe string. I recommend extra paracord. What you have is okay enough, but I'd have extra. The amount of uses the paracord is used for. It can hold SO much weight you can use it to make a shelter and it will hold, even your weight! And so much more. That show, again, that I recommended will show you so many different ways, it's amazing.

Makes a lot of sense!

It's nice to b safe and prepared

Add diapers and women's pantiliners. If someone hurts their elbow or knee badly the diaper would fit those areas. Pantliners can be used inside of clothes to protect your clothing from wounds.

Love You Guys.

not enough nelsons ❤❤❤❤so this all the time !!!! so fun

Aaron! I love it! You have gone from Ken to Action Man!!! You are defo a brunette! Well done for taking on the role full heartedly!

Get birdie alarms (or another brand) for keychains , etc. They are super loud and flash lights when you pull the pin, can be super helpful to scare off animal, or human attacks, can alert people to your location if you trapped somewhere.

For any of your kids can't handle going without music, pack an MP3 player or an iPod touch (or two, if you go with the MP3 player option) in each kit and have them download all of their go-to songs. That way, if their phones die, they don't need to go without music. Stay safe. 🖤

Great video ❤

For the tin cooking cup - use an empty veggie can- make holes with a hand held bottle opener ( the triangle side)top and bottom - you can cook anything on them - we made them with the institution cans - they are called Buddy Burners

I have a four-year-old and I didn’t even think to make an emergency kit. I’m going to start slowly gathering supplies from your guises advice and hope that I can get one but it might take a while.

Amazing video of this

I would get sling carriers for your 2 smaller dogs. You would be able to carry them in front while still wearing your back pack. The muzzles may be required if you take your dog into a shelter. You should have a copy of their vaccine records in your back pack as well. Take care! Edit: You should make sure to have collars and ID tags for the dogs as well.

Put in some matches of fire lighters other then the striker on the bracelet since they aren't always easy to use

My main things are, have something to stop bleeding. Have anti diarrhea, and have electrolytes. Even just having those three things stocked up outs someone at much higher odds. Water, water purification, and food. Antibiotics. Baby wipes, toilet paper, paper towels. Sanitizers, and natural based soaps so you can bath in waterways. Fire starters for older people, signaling devices, and medical kits.

What about maybe some portable fans and/or spray bottles? I need to know where some of these came from! Lol

Hey crazy pieces ya this last past summer I had a bad sunburn on my face and on my arms but I had put some cocoa butter cream and it helped to heal my sunburn and my lips was just chapped so bad it took about a week and half to feel better and I hope u guys are having fun. P.s u are welcome to write back when u can. 💜😀

Could set an a note on your calendar a month before the snacks expire. Then kids can eat them up and you replace with new ones.

As somebody who has worked with dogs for many years keep the muzzles if your dog gets hurt you don't know if they're gonna bite or not Or just get very snappy at you Muzzles are a part of my emergency kit and are kept in my vehicles in case of emergency Also look at getting slip leads there light and nice to have if a leash gets broken

Deodorant toothbrush and toothpaste and a light jacket and 1 outfit learned alot from huricane

Pack a little bottle of Siracha for flavors. Boycotts do this. Wool socks or hat for cold nights in AZ. Waterproof matches or a lighter
