I would like a video on how you store and organize everything. Thanks for this one!

[lisamerriman]

Aannndd the transformer on our street just blew. Thank goodness for our 2 solar batteries and 2 small rechargeable travel fans!

[LaineyBug]

I would have added stocking up on variously sized rechargeable batteries with charging stations you can plug in to your generators/power stations. Also alcohol stoves are great for stealth and indoor safety.

Very good video! One thing that is good to do is to get to know where other medical facilities are with in your system or network, in the event of a big emergency, as in my case, a few of the hospitals were closed down (damaged and evacuated) and if you had family members or yourself that needed continued care or medication to be filled you had to go to other hospitals in other towns or cities to get sorted and some elderly people needed help doing that in the weeks they were displaced and were confused about replacing all their medication and medical devices... so if you can, as you mentioned, have a list of all you medications and needs so when you need refills or lost devices you could get replacements ASAP. That includes eye ware.

Eunice, I just adore you.

Great advice and great gear.

I’ve had to evacuate a forest fire and ended up at a stadium camping. I had my little camper loaded with all my important things. Arnold Schwarzenegger was the governor at that time and he came to see the evacuation camp. I swear the terminator music was audible in my head. Lol.

Anyhow. I keep an evacuation list handy. It starts with a grab and go 5 minute list. Then a 1/2 hour list and a few hours list.

One thing to grab is your hamper of dirty clothes. Because most likely it’s all your current favorites and the things that fit. You can wash them later.

Another tip I give my guests at my rv park is if they don’t have a suitcase or bag, to use other items like a big pot to throw toiletries or medications in or a trash can or a pillow case. You can easily stuff necessities in these containers and run out the door.

That pot can then become a helmet. I Read that many tornado deaths are from head trauma.


A few weeks ago a wild fire got dangerously close to our property. 1, 200 feet away. I started loading my vehicle and the smoke had already filled the interior of my house. The air filters could not keep up. And my trips back and forth to the van were even worse. I should have been wearing a mask but I was so overwhelmed and rushing I had no time to think clearly. My lungs were congested and sore for weeks.

This was a god reminder that more often it’s the smoke, not the fire, that can be a bigger problem. Being prepared before you’re smoked out is super important.

This is a great video! I grew up in eastern NC, so hurricanes were a regular occurrence. My parents had each family member keep a 72-hour kit by our bedroom doors at all times. They were backpacks full of emergency supplies that would last at least 72 hours. We also had extensive food storage. As an adult, I've lived in several areas of the US, but have settled in central NC. I'm an apartment dweller, and in my 7 years here I've never lost water, and have only lost power 3 times; two from car accidents that hit the poles, and one from me tripping the main breaker outside on a weekend. (oops) Hurricanes can still affect us tho, even if they rarely do.

I have a 30-day food supply in a bucket, which I believe could realistically last me 2 or 3 months. I'm currently working on my water storage, and have decided to go the route of buying the jugs of water from the store. I do have "ZeroWater" 5-stage water filters and water purification tablets as well. I prefer power other than electricity in emergencies, and the butane/propane stove shown here is very similar to the one I have. I use it frequently because my apartment is all electric and I prefer cooking with gas. I forgot portable propane heaters can be used indoors, so I'm adding that to my list right now. My mentality is to not need electricity in an emergency, but seeing as you said the large battery bank can be recharged in under 8 hours using the solar panel, I'm going to add that setup to my list as well. I have lots of flashlights and batteries, but I also have plenty of stick candles for light. (and a small amount of warmth) I am grateful to come across an emergency preparedness video that doesn't have the "prepper" feel to it. Thanks!

[JehanineMelmoth]

Excellent ideas here. In an area with unreliable sunshine, I recommend wind-up technology. My O’Neill torch/radio has a solar panel and a winding handle, and has worked well for years.

I don't know how many times I have rewatched this video. I have been well prepared for years with respect to food, water, offgrid cooking, offgrid lighting, hygiene. Some other areas, such as electric power, are more growth areas for me. Especially now that my CPAP prescription has been raised. I have been investigating some of these power options in Canada, and the prices are MUCH higher than in the US (the YETI 200, for example, is more than double the US price). One thing to remember, especially for phones, is 'smart' suitcases. Keep those batteries charged all the time too. If you have to evacuate in an emergency and you are taking something like a backpack, remember to pop out that suitcase battery for extra charging capability. I found out by accident several years back that if the company has a return policy, and you buy a few of their smart suitcases to compare, intending to ship back all but one of them once you've made your decision (with the company's prior consent), they will ask you to ship them back without the battery because it is considered 'hazardous material'. So you end up with free phone charging batteries! I would never suggest doing that purposely, that would be dishonest, I had no idea that would happen, but if you remember to keep those batteries fully charged, it can provide quite a few extra days of phone service. Also, don't forget to keep old school devices that still work charged up too. I'm thinking about things like old Walkmans and portable DVD players you might have bought for travel 2 or 3 decades ago. If they still work, they can be used for entertainment during a grid down, leaving your chargers for more important tasks.

Great video. We live in earthquake territory. We have to be prepared for no water or natural gas or electricity in a colder climate. If our home is uninhabitable, we may need temporary cold weather shelter, so a double walled tent we heat with a wood stove is ideal. Also, lots of ppl here have dogs so a go bucket or bag for them too. Battery power tools are critical and I hadn’t thought of solar chargeable set up for them - thx!

[Ekinnajay]

We had a fire emergency once when I lived in Colorado. It was a reverse 911 call and they gave me 1/2 hour to get kids, pets, and stuff out. You lean really quickly what is important. In addition to some of the things you mentioned, I have an extensive first aid kit and am working on putting a pet bag together for my dogs and cats. I want to have carriers, leashes, bowls, extra food, blankets and toys all in one spot. Thank you for doing these videos, much appreciated.

[arosad]

Such an underrated video. Thank you. I’ll be coming back for rewatches and to get those links.

[roxy]

Awesome video as always! I was watching this video while I was making an EDC pouch for my car. My hubby and I are semi-preppers and have go bags in our cars and home. Lots of of MRE food and water too. Only thing missing is a generator. Hopefully we will have that added soon. I hope you and David are doing well. Have a great weekend!

[bushcraftcreationsbykristi]

Great video! I’d add a small fire kit to each bag and bucket…my small fire kits consist of: matches, small amount of waxed jute cord for tinder if I can’t find any, a lighter with duck tape wrapped around it, and a ferro rod. The lighter with duck tape also has fish hooks & line wrapped in with the duck tape. Additionally, a small kit with trapping wire, fishing lures, etc isn’t a bad idea, as you may be away from home much longer than anticipated. It doesn’t take up much room and weighs very little for this insurance. I may have missed this, but shelter should be covered as well. That can be something as simple as a good military poncho for each person and the paracord to set it up. Cordage, cordage should definitely be included. SO, my additions are…550 paracord, a tent or poncho for each person (poncho covers rain gear AND shelter), <rain gear, and a fire kit. ☺️

I live in Vegas so our weather related disasters is limited but I love the large power sources especially if we lose power in the summer. My son and I have discussed many times the need to put together bug out bags but haven’t done it yet. This video is a great impetus. Thank you!

[lisamerriman]

EXCELLENT video, Eunice! Very thorough. Reminded me that we needed to plug in our 2 solar batteries to “top them off” as we live in Florida, now in hurricane season. Thanks again!

[michelleking]

Would love to know what is in the green go bag

Great video! Living in SW Louisiana we know that June 1st means time to make sure one is prepared for possible hurricanes, or even just small storms that knock out the power. I'm ready.

[gailstaton]

Such a great video, Eunice. Two additional things I thought about would be baby needs and pet needs. I'm in Fl and our hurricane season started June 1st and runs through November. Perfect timing for your video but as we all know emergencies don't always have a season.

[debbiedorsey]

Love this video. Please show us what’s in your green backpack. Thank you!
