Dollar Tree Challenge- 72 Hour Survival Kit.

If you're wondering, "What should I put in a 72 hour kit?" or "What do I need in an emergency kit?" This video might help.
If you put together a kit like this, I always recommend you rotate and replace things like the food and medications every year or so to keep things from getting wasted or going bad. There are so many types of disasters and emergencies: wildfires, floods, hurricanes, earthquakes, tornadoes, and even just bad storms . In many cases, a 72-hour kit could mean the difference between life and death. After a major disaster or emergency, it could take up to three days for emergency responders to reach some areas. Consider a 72-hour kit that you could live on for 7-10 days if needed. In such a case, if you live in a disaster-prone area, a 72-hour kit is the minimum you should have available. Plan your 72-hour kit according to your family’s size. With a kit like this, you can be prepared on a budget, and ready for anything from power outages to SHTF.

I was homeless in TX for nearly three years living in a tent. I ate a lot from DT. I'd add gallon and quart freezer bags for storage of small things and opened packets. Mashed potatoes- put some in a bowl and add little bits of heated water until you get the consistency you want. As time goes on, one can save for a sterno stove (I still have mine) or a camping stove (which made my life vastly different.). Pancake mix labeled just add water, again eyeball the amount and enough water to suit, and have a pancake for breakfast. Syrup doesn't need refrigeration. I had a pour over melitta ($5 at heb grocery store) and I picked up bags of flavored coffees to break up monotony. packets of hot chocolate. I'd add books to read, for kids, coloring books and crayons. Let kids make their own activity boxes. Things can be added as time and money allow. I'm no longer homeless and have an RV. I also have a portable solar power station and just got a Roadpro roaster that's 12volt. Learn to make a solar oven and use it to save on fuel. Kids will love that too. Figure out what to do with waste and trash ahead of time. You did put together a very nice kit. My dollar tree has battery operated switch lights- get them for the bathroom, bedrooms- they're a treat. The 150 lumen work light is very nice to have- attach it to your frig on the outside. You can't have too much light.

We added pine kitty litter for a waterless potty.

[victoriam]

I would add feminine hygiene pads, wipes, dry change of socks,
underwear a jacket and blanket.

[newengland]

Dont forget a jar of Vicks for many usages from keeping bugs away, for body pain, stuffy noses and helps get rid of a headache.

[marylowe]

Save your empty milk and water jugs. Clean them and fill with tap water and store in garage or shed. Useful to put in toilet tank so you can flush it if you have no electric. Also good for washing hands/dishes, and for wash cloth for sponge bath.

At 66 I live alone in a 4 unit apartment building. I've been preparing for 8 years for myself and my 4 kids and their families. Now I've decided to prepare for my neighbors in the building. Just the initial needs for fallout or grid down. Even though 2 of the 4 guys I'd be helping are in their 50s and 60s I always feel like everyone's Mama🤪😂🤪

[akabez]

I would add gallon size ziploc bags to keep important documents dry, metal eating utensils, sponge and a small bottle of dish soap. Hat and some cash in smaller denominations.

[theresafoley]

I counted about 96 items at $1.25 and 1 at $5.00 that was $125.00 befor sales Tax. I guess some of us should build it a shopping trip at a time. Thanks for the information. ❤

I have a hot tip for you. Never mind your alcohol food heaters. CANDLES! If you can find 24-hour candles, all the better. I was stuck indoors for 2 weeks, no heat, lights or electricity after an ice storm knocked down most of the wiring in the city. I loaded up on 24-hour tall candles and found that I could stick 3 of them together on a bit of hot wax in a saucer, placed in the bottom of a fold-up wire basket. I could balance my enamel cookpot on top of the wire basket and boil water with it. Eventually, I was shopping in the little market store downstairs each day for ingredients to make fresh Cantonese style shrimps, chicken and pork. I boiled water to fill the thermos of the old man across the hall; and I refllled emptied plastic water bottles with warm water, and tucked them under a blanket for my cat to sit on warm and cosy. Candles for cooking, it's just like a gas stove, the food is favnulous, and you have a LIGHT source at the same time.

"Just because it's at Dollar Tree doesn't mean it's the best deal" ... true words. Thanks for this video. ⌛

Outdoor solar lights are a great substitute for flashlights. No battery required🎉

[JonTanOsb]

Petroleum jelly has more uses than a fire starter. Use it on bruises to clear them up faster; use instead of lip balm and skin softener. It's also good for hemorrhoids, if you don't have Preparation-H about. It's good for cracked feet and rough elbows and also for preventing diaper rash.
You can also heat food up with tea light candles. Put your cooking setup in the kitchen sink, if you need to keep it away from kids or pets.
Don't store your head-light or flashlights, long term, with the batteries inside, as they will corrode.

My friend had water coming in her house from a flood. They panicked and couldn't think where she had important documents like social securities, birth certificates, etc... They had to rush out. She learned her lesson by not having a getaway waterproof and fireproof box with all that in there for quick escape. I learned from her mistake too.

Plastic sheeting and Duct Tape isn't going to stop radiation, but can be used for so many other things. This isn't going to get you through nuclear war, but it can help in more minor situations or just a getting from A to B situation in relative comfort or just having no water or power for a couple of days after a storm. In my lifetime in the UK, we've experienced no power intermittently for some considerable time thanks to miners' strikes (don't blame them, though), being snowed in with no milk deliveries (daily doorstep deliveries back then), a weekend without running water because of multiple bursts to the mains on the main road and I've watched a couple trying to keep the roof on stables (with horses inside) with rope during a storm. I've also survived on very little food for three days and wish I knew back then what I know now and had had a proper financial and "life skills" education. Preparing for life's problems should be a way of life, but people seem to think the Government will always have their back. They need to wake up.

You did an awesome job. You helped a lot of folks. Semper Paratus...Always Ready...USCG motto.
Always better to be looking at it 😊 then looking for it😮. I was born bushcraft. Bug out. Always prepared. Your information is most important and will be helpful n perhaps save a lot of unaware lives. Thank you for caring for your fellow human beings❤

[theresalogsdon]

I get the Solar Garden Lights for my House and Kits.
Put them out during the Day and at night you have Light.
Also for Emergency Communication I have a Whistle and, used to, they did carry an Air Horn I the toy section. Not sure if they carry them anymore.
If you have a Muffin Pan, Yes a Muffin Pan. Get a package of Tea Lights. You can use these together as a Make Shift Stove.

[lynnie]

I would add a tube of 0.1% hydrocortisone cream.

[jamesmoreland]

If I may suggest, keep your batteries separate from the device. They can leak and ruin your flash light, radio, or whatever you have. I would just use a zip lock bad and keep them with the item.⏳

[bbusybee]

One thing that I like to add is coconut oil. With coconut oil you can brush your teeth(also kills bacteria), moisturize skin and lips and cover small scratches to avoid infections.

[Laura-lhsm]

Deodorant, sharpie, reflective blanket, small towel, feminine products and a cup for pouring that gallon of water and to use for brushing your teeth. A hat in case you need protection from the sun and socks and underwear. Edited to add one more thing: some sort of mosquito repellant.
