This is very informative. I have disabilities and I live in an area that has seen evacuations in the past and I am on the registery for an alert if one is called. Creating a 72-hour kit for myself would require items that I could conceivably carry in a backpack, so the bucket is not an option. Freeze-dried food, however, is an option and is lighter than canned food. You have al ot of valuable suggestions in your series. You have missed a few items, but there is enough there to prompt people to make a list for a kit that best suits them.

I would suggest looking at the daily items and foods that are different from the rest of the family- cane/wheelchair/pediatric stroller, incontinence supplies, nutrition drink, pill splitter/crusher, youth/adult bibs, special feeding tools, bandages, tubing, etc.

As a big woman, these tiny emergency blankets are nada. Grab a 2 person emergency sleeping bag. Basically the same but much bigger. Sadly being disabled there is no bugging out for me, but i have months of food and water and medications. I have 40 to 72 hour uniheats to keep my reptiles warm, the max at 100f and unlike hothands, no scalding. New solar hand cranked radio, 1600 hours of 8 hour tealights. Diy olive oil candles, alcohol burners. I'd advise a travel size of bleach, small bottle with f10 in it, f10 kills germs that bleach can not having both is great. Fleece by the yard, wicks wetness away, dries quick like wool. Old tshirt for filtering before you filter with the life straw. But if there's bombing, it will be quick being near ft detrict.

@@homesteadingpreppers well it's like I've been saying on my channel that the two most likely threats that we're going to be facing in the near future will either be EMP either through natural or man-made devices or a depression because our economy and our inflation is doing so horrible right now that everything's going to get to be too expensive so I mean I've been I've been seeing this coming for quite a while so cyber attacks go hand in hand with the EMP because if they can't use an EMP yet they're going to try to shut us down using cyber attacks if cyber attacks don't work then they may resort to more drastic cases like I don't know sending a balloon across the United States and detonating a high altitude nuke to send off that sold that that EMP blast but you know who knows

Any situation requiring prepped supplies is going to be hard days. My suggestion is to do some hard days regularly. First, find out what it is like to walk five miles. Start slow, maybe a mile, then over the next week or month add a bit to it, do days in a row, then get a five miler in. Then spend some time with dirt. Plant a garden, plant a fruit tree. Keep both alive and thriving. While doing all this, see if you can go a month without eating as a restaurant or eating prepared foods. Learn to cook, bake and clean up afterwards. Oh, have a supply of rice and beans? Cook some of it so that you could feed it to friends. What gives me the right to suggest this? I'm almost 67. Last year I walked over a thousand miles, with a total of 13 walks between 5 and 6.2 miles. I planted 10 more fruit trees on my half acre and they all survived. Wife and I both know how to cook and bake from scratch. She has baked 14 loaves of sourdough bread in 7 weeks. In February we still have over 150 jars of home canned produce on the shelves and vegetables and herbs sprouting under lights for this spring's planting. This year we are planting a dozen berry bushes and another apple tree. We have canned, frozen, cold stored, dehydrated and fermented vegetables. We have fermented fruit juice to make wine then some of that got turned into vinegar. Last fall I turned 450 used paving bricks into a raised bed. A get home bag will only get you home if you can carry it that far. Those thousand plus miles last year, I wore a 20-27 pound pack, carried a sidearm in a holster with a spare magazine. I know my capabilities. People, do you? While we are old and don't move as fast as we once did we move more than a lot of people do.

These are pretty cool imho if youve got a use for them. Use a power bank or battery and/or solar panels and theyre fully portable too/dont need a power point etc. Those tools are actually pretty handy tools too i think. Ones for pulling and transplanting seedlings or pulling weeds/ ones a seed hole poker that i like the shape hole it gives at different depths. Scoop not so much but good for scooping and spiinkling fertiliser on consistently etc,, digging ones good for digging down sides of those little pots when its full of roots and cutting roots with the saw part when theyve grown together or whatver and getting the plant out of trays without pushing the bottom of tray or ripping at the trunk. Lots if things, not just gimmicks. I like clear trays too so gou can see the roots firm or any problems or pests, disease etc. And you can watch the "breathing" or watering and draining processto make sure its absorbing evenly and drauning properly and oxygenating. Helps to understand the process too and whatll happen if poor drainage or your medium is too fine or breaks down too quick and clogs with fine stuff near the bottom etc. Real important in bonsai and most container planting. I was suspect of the grow lights but mine seem to work fine for seedlings and havent got lanky or discolouring or anything from lack oflight or the right spectrums. These little flat square leds really are cool, in torches (flashlights) everything...and are making grow lights so much more affordable for anyone well as lighter and able to be made into all these light and more practical shapes and designs for any situation, can hang or fit better, and can even have your lights customized easy to the exact number of leds in the pattern you want with whatever spectrum you want or mix n matching of spectrums in the exact positions you want each in for the spectrum range you want for specific plants or whatever in one light housing. Also much more efficient and cheap to run. And i dont touch the stuff but know weed growers and such like that and not having a huge spiked electricity consumption in a house top off the cops to what theyre doing there haha. And the usb connections means they can fit it to a power bank or solar panels in a rainforest shack or something off the grid. Solid trays and base (mine especially the base and tops look substantially more solid actually, i think the newer ones were imprived like that. ) nice tall top with humidity holes/cover/light housing. Well designed trays and pots and drainage holes etc. All inall i think fir the price theyre pretty great and cant ask much more. Ive heard you do have to be a bit cautious as alot of that type of thing have fake grow lights which just means not the full spectrum the plants need but, the real ines are so cheap i dont think itll become a big probkem. Only major downside to me, and a serious, dangerous one.. is where theyre typically made and who's profitting most off people buying them...which aint hard to guess. Personally i cant stand giving them money and of course a high % o $ paid for everything anyone buys thats from there goes straight to the ccp's greedy and very sinister intentioned coffers...so basically funding theyre expansionism, dictatorships, aggression and calculated long term war theyre waging on you and your family and children and childrens future and neighbiurs and coubtry men and the whole free, democratic world whats left of it) and theyre good qt it and very cunning. Suicidal really, and of our kids most. Well as virtually EVERYTHING bought from there is stolen intellectual property mostly from the west that theyve stolen for anything that they see sell wells others deaigned and built and go mass produce and sell it back to us and the victims for cheaper than they could ever make it under our corrupt screwed up sysytem. And its already all but destroyed our whole industry and has essentially destroyed the whole pattent process and with the help of corrupt sell out traitirs in our gov been made into shackes to hold us back and whip for them to beat us down and our business and prosperity. And millions of free expert designers and inventors for them to use as basically slaves. Our wonderful gov dont even put restrictions on them or charge freaking import and sales taxes on them to sell us back our own shit they stole. It may not sound a big deal but , itd be sounding wrong...the immediate and fillow on consequences are and will be huge. Especially when people mindlessly and carelessly send all their wages and $ straight out of the country to a rogue powerful communist dictatorship to save a few bucks for cheap crap they dont even meed. Its almost impossible now to not buy shit ftom there and fund our aggressors and own demise now since our governments have totally fkd us for decades and and all but.... every cent not helos and at least try to buy from local and native businesses to help them and keep some profit local not straight from the dragons mouth on ali express and all that, amazon even whatever.
