Thankyou, This is Awesome
I may be wrong but I think I could get by with a lot less for 72 hrs.
The bag is going to be heavy
I am glad I went to the recipe. I did not see you add any brown sugar.
1st many of you need to come off that cloud 9 you are floating on and come back to reality, A bug out bag and 72 hr kit are totally different. You people are bunching all this together. A 72 hr kit is for "riding the storm out" a bug out bag is for when you are leaving one place and going to your other "safe house" it's not for roaming around ( that could get you killed) you have the lightest items in a bug out bag. A walkie talkie actually could let the wrong people find you, one family packed red tents, just put a bullseye on your back and call it a day. If you are caught in a blizzard stay with the car never venture out, after storms one you don't know about live wires or if another storm is on it's way ( stay inside of shelter.) Many need to stop and start all over!!!!!! I am a storm chaser and many of you is giving WRONG advise, so justSTOP IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you for this method. I notice how much water you are wasting!! 🥕🥕🥕🥕
First, I think there should be an everday carry bag for a long day out to get you home from a broken down car or a 9/11 where you have to walk. I live where it is 100 degrees so Id want a generic camelback and silcock key. An umbrella for shade, raingear, jacket for fall, coat in winter. What would you need as you waked home? My city, county and state have kit lists. Then have an evacuation kit for camping. Practice by car camping near a Walmart! Carry paper and pen and stop immediately and write down forgotten items, wants, solutions like a Waterbrick and spout for the picnic table. Go home early and make a list as you unpack. List by category. Make a menu and list the meals ingredients! Once traveling, we had 10 minutes till the store closes and we split the list and got everything. Also make a list of consumables like toiletries, paper towels... So you know what you need to replace if youve been camping for days/ find a store. Pack a weeks supply. Pack a tote of shelf stable meals, you can load and go. After the fires in Paradise, CA people lost everything. Can you imagine walking in and you need everything! You would do a lot better if you had these lists. You could say what do we need on this list before tomorrow? A lady retold her day of escaping a wildfire. She got to the end of the day, got a shower and comfort was a new clean pair of socks. Always pack what brings comfort or what 8s your socks! Make sure you think of family members special needs. I like a throw to wrap around my legs as the evening brings chill. Have extras! I need readers for instance! Oh, multiple sets of keys on bright lanyards if they are dropped or locked in the car.
Long winded! Skip ahead to 2:30. Basically, use Easy Off. There, saved you from sitting through her boring presentation. You’re welcome!
could you make it gluten free
were you able to get pregnant without medical help? Can you share your journey of fertility?
I had to check and see if I commented on this video before because I struggle with my memory as well 😂 Diagnosed at age 4…I’m a medical mystery at this point. Started off with absence seizures and nocturnal seizures. I took tegretol zerontin most of my childhood. Only had grand mals in my whole life. I’m glad they got those under control early on. Now, I have focal aware and they are hard to control. Currently on Keppra. I do all the same things for memories. Take pictures of everything and I kept journals for years. Read some things and have no idea that thing happened. I’m glad I wrote it down. Then randomly, memories will pop up. It’s still in there 🤷🏾♀️ I have read some anecdotal info on mct oil for seizures. I think it does help when I remember to take it. Also B12 and magnesium helps with brain function.
Your doing too much😂
Excellent video!!!! Very good ideas!!!! Proud to see folks taking responsibility for their own protection. If I may, I would lose the beef jerky and the oatmeal. If you are low on water, these two may not be ideal. Mountain House and a few other "camp and survival" storable food companies make meals that are light to carry but much more nutritious and filling. A Laplander, Fiskars, or Silky foldable saw is a great choice for cutting wood. If you must have a hatchet, Fiskars makes a lighter, very tough hatchet for a very reasonable price. Pocket knives can be great...Unless they have weak hinges, brittle blades, are prone to rust, or a person lacks knife skills. In that case trauma shears are pretty great. EVERY kit should probably include them, and they are very inexpensive. Lighters and matches are really wonderful...Just make sure that everyone knows that after earthquakes, tornadoes, hurricanes, landslides, or man made destructive events, you know that there are no flamable gases in the area before lighting up that comfort fire. Duct tape, paracord, sterile gauze, alcohol swabs, povidone swabs, witchhazel swabs, and glucose wafers are worth a fortune in tight situations, too.
Can Visa/MSC gift card,Amazon gift card are accepted by Square?
You should have a few items on you pockets incase someone takers you pack or some hoew you loose it, 10 matches in your pocket leathermam , a bracelet of your paracord , solar blanket ,whistle. Tp . Or wet wipes singe packs 3 of them😊
LOL, the best ppl to give advice on this would be Recon SF’s and refugees. Most others would have it all wrong.
If I don't have POS,can I use gift card on Square software?
Yes, you can. You’ll just have to manually enter the numbers on the back of the gift card into your software
Emergency card! I added that to my list.
Great review. 👌 Thanks!
Nice Bag of goodies ,but I didn't see a weapon like a firearm so as to keep your Kit .People will take your stuff and hurt you if you don't arm yourself in these crazy times . Good luck anyway .
Do they have a movie theater? With popcorn? 😅 Or do they only play movies on the pool deck?
Your whole set-up is crap. You should not make any video like this until you learn a lot. The majority of what you packed is either not needed or there are better alternatives to what you choose. You should consider a "bug-out bag" to be a refugee bag. Wear that bag and hike for a day lol
thanks for sharing.. i am on Epilizine 500mg per day. Diagnosed at age 69 after two seizures over a period of two years. i suspect alcohol may have an influence and have stopped with that to see the effect.
Thank you Keri!
Been evacuated 3 times, once permanently due to wild fires. We had a camping trailer that we used as our family "life boat." We were inconvenienced but comfortable. Really do this for you and your family.
Everything you did is wrong. The way you water is not enough water for them the way you plant them everything please watch other videos cause this video is not right
Where were you guys riding in Red Deer? I actually just bought one of these. Mine goes up to like 50 km an hour. And it has like a 78 km range. I was riding mine in the city but there's so much traffic so it feels a bit unsafe so I'm just trying to figure out where to go ride here
Starting at Bower ponds and riding along the Red Deer River. There’s paved paths all along the river, and it’s beautiful with no vehicle traffic to deal with.
@@KeriPratt thank you so much Keri! I think I'm going to charge my e-scooter up and go and check it out today!
@@KeriPratt I just got back from there it's an absolutely beautiful ride. There are so many places to ride! I was ripping around for a few hours.
@@youandiryan happy I could help ❤️
Thank you for sharing your story. I found a fantastic resource for thyroid issues, Dr. Susan Hardwick-Smith. kzread.info/dash/bejne/ZJarsK9xfMrSmtY.html I think it's worth listening to.
i got the same cup but it is not working 😢
If you guys wanted to, use Snappy's Butter Burst, that is the oil I have been using since last year. Totally recommend it.
Gawd elp us.
I encourage people to consider what types of emergencies they are planning for and what environment they're living in as well as how realistic it is that they're going to put a backpack on, walk out their front door, and survive with what they're able to carry. For 99% of everyone with a bug out bag, it's simply not realistic. That being said, you can carry a lot more in totes in your car, which is also shelter.
I live in northern, rural England UK and you wouldn’t believe how difficult it is to obtain simple chicken scrap ingredients. I’ve been to numerous butchers and they all look at me strangely when I ask for chicken necks etc and tell me they don’t have any.
I'm from USA, I will be trying this for sure. My family is from Greece, some came to America and some to Canada. Our daughter in law is from Canada and we have 5 lovely grandchildren from her and our son. To say, she will never go back to Canada to live as its not a place where she would bring our grandchildren in, thank God, but I will be making this recipe for sure tomorrow.
Great info!
"Alberta has had tons of wildfires" Also look at all this fire-starting gear I have and open flames.
also depending on fire starters is crazy and candles are crap. I also used to carry candles but they were not worth it. get a headlamp and flint and steal.
Surely you jest ! Why go through all that work ? Is it to save a dollar ? Is it because you think yours will taste better ?
To save a dollar, and I enjoy cooking. So this way I can enjoy Tim Hortons Farmers Breakfast wrap, from the comfort of my own home, and spending less money.
Thankyou for your video. Now subscribed and keen to hear more of your story. I was diagnosed with a Bicuspid aortic valve just last month via ultrasound. I’m going to see the cardiologist for the first time next week to find out more.
It was an interesting journey and there's more to share. Best of luck with your cardiologist. May I ask how old you were when they discovered your bicuspid aortic valve? What were your symptoms?
I’m 58 and had a racing and irregular heartbeat. I only found out last month after a scan, I had no idea! I’ve been suffering from fatigue over the last several years too. I guess it could be related.
Apparently I have an enlarged aorta and will need surgery in 5 years.
what do you do with the fat you skimmed off im in a high fat diet canyou use it?
I'm sure you could use it, but I've never tried. To be honest, it's something that I add to my dogs diet when I have it. She loves the fat.
map, compass, bible.
All good things that I should add.
i got one and love it. i use bottled water in mine. i dont put tap water in mine and it stays really clean with the bottled ater
I would imagine that to be true. I have had to clean my ice machine a few times over the years.
Thank you for sharing your story. I have many of these symptoms. My t3 is very low. I'm waiting to get in with a thyroid Dr.
Its a journey, that requires patience. I hope that you can get into see your doctor soon.
I used to eat this all the time as a child. Doing the rolls was a lot of effort for a working mother, so she would do this instead. She swears by frying the onions in bacon grease first, and mixed the rice into the pot. I'll try your way next time!
Bacon grease would be an awesome addition, but not something that I always have on hand. I love adding rice, my husband not so much, so that's why I add it in later for my dinner.
What was the resort app? my boyfriend and I will be flying in around lunchtime and I would love to have dinner planned that first night
You will get the app when you check in to the resort. All dinner reservations must be made at 8am that morning. So you will have the opportunity to eat at the buffet, Bloved resturant or the burger resturant by it.
I like your video, I going to build one using your method. Thanks for the instructional show.
Glad it was helpful! Hope you'll subscribe to my channel as well.
In Calgary, I tried this in 2023 inside a greenhouse using white gutters with drain holes drilled every 9", found I could not get my watering consistent and got very little fruit and they all died .I'm considering setting up a drip system., Does anyone have experience in our area with drips for gutters, what frequency and gauge of drip were used
I created another KZread video where I show you how to make a homemade drip system, that really helped my strawberries last year.
If you need more support, why not just use the brackets that you normally mount a gutter to?
That's a great idea, we just didn't buy it for this project.
Thank you so much for taking your time and sharing your experience with people that will definitely benefit from your experience. God bless you and protect you In Jesus name . 🙏✝️❤️
You are so welcome! Thanks for the love and prayers.
So you enter the sixteen numbers at the bottom of the gift card?
You can swipe the gift card itself, but you can also enter the 16 numbers on the gift card as well.
How can you do a dish with that name, and of mormon origin! (bufffff) Terrible decision.
