🔥 the only things I would add would be some herbal teas, cold and flu meds, and Tylenol. My daughter forgets to resupply, so she is always out of meds when she needs them. Great video as usual😉

A little camping equipment and experience is a life skill that all people need.

True now that it's heating up imma start camping in the backyard. Tent food rocket stove n practice shooting w a crossbow!

I would add a can opener, hand warmers and some chocolate.

Love this video! Here’s a lighting tip: if you have a white or bright colored ceiling, then aim a Maglight type of flashlight at the ceiling for whole room illumination. Put it as high as you can like on a counter top or dresser. You’ll be amazed how bright the room is and it’s totally hands free. Just make sure to have plenty of batteries 😉.

I did this while visiting a friend in Florida. She had never seen anyone do that before and was amazed at how much more well lit the space was. My flashlight isn’t even a bright illumination. This is very effective.

If you don't have a white ceiling you can drape a white paper towel napkin or even toilet paper over the flashlight to disperse the light

I gave both my kids a duffel bag that I started with items to use in case of an emergency. Each Christmas I give them more items. Most of which can be put away in the bag. This year there gifts were all in a plastic storage bin. I told them this is to be used for the meals in a jar that I will be making for them. Slowly but surely they will be ready for an extended emergency. I did tell them to eat the meals in a jar when they go camping or if there is a time they haven’t been to the grocery store. This way they can practice making them and also give me feedback on the ones they like. Eventually, I plan to give the small ThriveLife cans, but that’s a ways off. Just a goal for me.

Simple first aid & book. Matches incase flints get wet, simple cleaning vinegar, water, and a few drops of soap in spray bottle, papertowels to dry.

now that's a good mama

This is a great idea for a gift kit. I would add a few more things to it as it is a gift for someone who doesn't normally prepare. I would add a cheap manual can opener, paper plates, bowls, plasticware, small set of scissors and a lighter. I would also add a few more snacks to help kill boredom and give a comfort feeling. Then I would also add a couple card games, game book and maybe adult coloring books and color crayons. I might even add candles for light, heat and atmosphere. These last few things help give comfort during a power outage that can be stressful for some people

Great video! For the past few years, we’ve been gifting my daughter and her husband preparedness items from different categories: cooking, long-term food storage, heating, lighting, etc. They don’t see a need to “prep” yet, but have gladly accepted the gifts. Also consider a battery-operated radio, first aid kit, simple water purification system, and depending on their weather some rain ponchos or other outdoor gear.

Hahaha, from one gleeful mom of adult children to another... Well Done :D

A couple years ago I purchased a few jars of jam to keep in the survival kit. The jam can be scooped out of the jar and heated up in a small pan. It become more liquid and can be used as a syrup for pancakes. I also put chocolate chips in a small canning jar and vacuum sealed it. Good for pancakes or comforting munchies.

Live in California - uncomfortable conditions are caused by the folks who run the state.....we have perfect weather year round. Everything else is a daily roller coaster ride.

Great kit! I hope that your family members appreciate it and expand it. Even with limited space, they can get creative with their "home decor". You're a great mom. 🔥

Nice kit! The freeze dried foods *can* be used even if you have no way to boil water, it will just take longer to reconstitute. But those little stoves are awesome, I just saw a dual fuel version on Amazon that I'm thinking about getting as I already have some of the propane canisters

My daughter lives alone and often goes without. I intended to get her the coleman butane stove this week. Now I'm looking into the bluetti too. Thank you Jara. 😊 🔥

That's definitely a good plan! 💯

Excellent kit 🔥 I appreciate your take on prepping, you think of everything and I will supplement a couple of these items in my kit.

Remember last winter when we had the -47 wind chill storm? That Mr. Buddy heater is what I used and it kept my small home warm. No frozen water lines. It was a life saver.

Sam's had one that was solar and on sale. I got it to run my daughter's CPAP machine during a power outage. We just had 3 days of power outage due to the thunderstorm tornado situation.

I got a foot of snow snowstorm thurs thru saturday may9 th thru 11th. No power for 60 hours plus. Used 3 lg oil lamps ,gas one type stove w butane and mr buddy heater and propane ,solar generator 2000watt with 400 watt heater at my feet ,and device charger and a jet boil type cooker with coleman mix 15oz canister and plenty fuel left.. Did just fine. Stayed warm and plenty of hot food and COFFEE french press (metal - no glass to break). Was a heads up for whats coming as to what i might still need. But ive experienced a Christmas outage for 5 days a few years ago and a house full company!!!!

I bought a pancake mix that comes in a shaker container. Just add water. Once I've used what's in the container I can refill from a larger container. I use the bigger container first and save the small container for emergencies. When the "use by" date is close I use the shaker container mix, wash out the container and refill with fresher mix.

Great video, but I couldn't help thinking how you need to make a curried cous cous meal in a jar side!

Small tent to conserve heat when without electricity

🔥 I added a solar powered radio

North Florida here. Friday morning we had several tornadoes and what I believe was called “high line wind storm” go through a number of areas in and around. We still do not have power. Poles were snapped and lines were laying on the ground and in the middle of roads. We have always been fairly well prepared. However, our big generator had a problem. Fortunately, we had extra spark plugs and my husband was able to perform maintenance himself. We do not have city water, so power is essential for us even to get water beyond what we may have stored. Thank goodness, we have several chainsaws with extra chains and a variety of different height ladders. You just never know what you may need and what you may need to do. As usual,I ❤ your videos and wait for them every week.

Very nice kit!

I have done all that I can to get my kids ready. One daughter has enough income to get her and her husband ready. The other daughter has 3 kids and her and her husband struggle every month. I help them as much as I can. We are going shopping this week and I am giving her $500 to shop. I am, also, giving my ex the same amount. I will not my family go hungry.

🔥awesome! I’d add some adult cleansing wipes for quick personal cleanups, a manual can opener, a package of instant mashed potatoes like the rice as an extender, hand sanitizer, and maybe a few paper plates/bowls/utensils.

I bought a case of baby wipes from Sams. I've given several packs to each if my family members and close friends. I then explain about going without water for 2 weeks when the pipes burst in the apartment complex where I used to live during the winter storm of 2021. There were so many apartments being flooded (management didn't turn on the heat in the vacant apartments) that water to the entire complex was shut off until they could get plumbers out to do repairs. I had 4 cases of bottled water, 10 gallons of distilled water and gad drawn up about 20 gallons of water in old cat litter containers (so I could flush the toilet). Thankfully we never lost power. My neighbors could get to the store for food so I made dinners for them to come eat with me...and introduced them to prepping for emergency situations.

🔥Jara I always get so much valuable information from your videos. I’m just trying to accumulate money to purchase some of these items. With Gods help I will. Thank you for sharing!

Our daughter lives in the city …. By herself… with support animal so I would add some type of animal food…and she is a vegetarian so I will talk to her about this. Our sn is married with a 5 month old th old so I would add… for them… formula . Etc… )

The thrive life chicken Alfredo is delicious I opened it up last week when I didn’t have anything planned for dinner….they all love it.

Always watch the prices on the solar power stations. Amazon is good with sales on the power stations. I just saw a 700 watt one for 45% off of one of the bigger named brands. I haven't seen sales on solar panels though. If you have the panels then you can use car blankets plugged into the DC port and they do have small heaters that are 250 and 500 watts. Better to "camp" out in 1 room than to try to heat an entire apartment or house.

Chocolate lol, great video. I started putting together bug out as for my adult kids. Food is on my list for those bags. So maybe some protein bars if they need to leave the apartment? Thanks for the suggestions. I'm a new follower and making the rounds on your videos.

For light I got emergency light bulbs called surge and Emergency defense bulbs in case of no lights. I do need to get a propane stove.

We have a 6500 watt or kilowatt. I would have to look at it but it powers our whole house. Yes it is gas. I am going to have my brother help make an insulated storage box with a quieter muffler and exhaust outlet. We have used it for over a week at a time. We also have a wood stove that was here when we bought the house 30 years ago. It is big enough for a 2100 sq. ft. house but ours is 1833 sq.ft. One winter we wanted to see if we could go all winter without using our furnace and it kept the upstairs a comfortable 75 degrees when really cranking and the downstairs was 90. We keep it going so the upstairs is about 70 to 72. We live in the boonies i=on 17 acres and 11 of that is all hard woods.

Excellent video. Thank you for sharing! 🔥

If they have a south facing window you could add a 50 or 100 watt (Depending on window size) flexible solar panel pretty cheap to keep the Bluetti charged up not going to run the house but enough to keep headlamps and phones charged and maybe a tablet or radio and that thin panel will store behind a dresser or book case easy

Hi Jara! Happy Mother’s Day!Great video! I have most of the components you showed ready for my young adult college kids for when they are ready to leave home. I also added a small battery operated room fan and a personal neck fan (extra batteries included). They actually use the items so they are familiar with everything in the kit. I had them put together a clothes washing/drying kit. We went through a 2 week outage, so they have first hand knowledge! One thing I didn’t have included was the CO moniter, so thanks for that reminder!!🔥

This is a fabulous idea, Jara! This kit would be great for a unique wedding shower gift, or college survival kit for college students. I love your ideas! Thanks for sharing!

🔥I loved seeing all your ideas for a emergency kit.

I would add some extra deep paper plates. They are a bit pricey unless you find them on sale, but they can be used as a plate or a bowl. Also some plastic spoons and forks.

🔥 I might just add basic preparation directions. I made car emergency car kits for our sons several years ago for Christmas. I think I’ll put these together for this year’s gift. 😊

It pisses me off badly knowing that young families with small children and don't think that a basic plan for Weather anomalies. My best friend's daughter has a baby but when I asked her what she is planning on doing during the hurricane, she told me she didn't have a plan and would just wing it. I truly wanted to slap the taste out of her mouth. If she wants to risk her life ok, but she has no reason to risk her baby. Hopefully nothing will ever happen, but I'm not banking on it
