Today, August 11th, we are Giving Away...(CLAIMED)



A 2 person Deluxe Guardian 72 hour kit retailed at $89.99

My Dad always told me, BE PREPARED! Weather it was for a big test, or while driving right after I got my license or if I was going into a potentially dangerous situation (like possibly backpacking through Europe.) So today's featured company is going to help us get prepared in a very important way- with 72 hour kits! One of the worst scenarios I can think of would be a time where I could not provide my children with food, water or medical care. I want to be able to take care of my family and I'm sure you do to, so here is some help:

At Ultimate 72 Hour Kits their goal is to provide you with a high quality and reliable 72 hour kit. All of the kits come pre-packaged in either a backpack or container for easy storage and accessibility. Their 72 hour kits are light weight, durable and come fully equipped with everything you will need to get by for a full 72 hours. Having a 72 hour kit in your home will give you and your family peace of mind. Also, at Ultimate 72 Hour Kits they believe you should be prepared not only at home, but everywhere your life takes you. For this reason , they have also prepared 72 hour kits for the office and car. Ultimate 72 Hour Kits wants to make sure you and your family will always be prepared.
Here are some of the other specialty items they offer:

Kits specially designed for kids: A great tool that can be used a variety of ways: A filtration bottle so you can have fresh water ANYWHERE:

And they also have a lot of items that would be great for camping. So check it out and get your family prepared. And Ultimate 72 hour kits will help you out by offering FREE shipping for our readers (and that is a great deal on a big bag full of items!) Just enter the code GIVEAWAY in the redemption code box.

You can enter to win the Deluxe Guardian 72 hour kit up to FOUR times today, as long as you reside in the United States or Canada.

For one entry, leave your first and last name in a comment.
Example: Jane Doe

For a second entry, please visit Ultimate 72 hour kits here. Look at all of their products to get you prepared and then return to Give Away Today. In a NEW comment tell us your first and last name and an item you think your family could really use.
Example: Jane Doe: I need a 72 hour kit for each person in my family!

For a third entry, see those buttons on the left-hand side? They are Give Away Today's sponsors--thank you sponsors--we love you! For your third entry today we would like for you to visit at least three of their sites (and no, we don't get paid each time someone clicks on their button). We just want you to visit them because they have amazing products and some of them are even offering discounts to you. Once you have visited at least three of our sponsor's sites, you get a third entry. Tell us which sites you visited.
Example: Jane Doe: I visited Red Rock Relay (to check out the course again, can't wait to run in that), Sophie's Chic Boutique (made a mental note to order more squeaky shoes) and Toy Box Tee (because I love to look at their creative tees.)

For a fourth entry, tell us about a time when you were in an emergency situation.
Example: Jane Doe: My husband and I were smack dab in the middle of Hurricane Floyd's path when we were living in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. We had to flee with all of the other residents of Myrtle Beach. Therefore, it took us four and a half hours to drive out. It was a mess, but I admit, a little exciting.

The winner of the kit from Ultimate 72 Hour Kit will be announced Wednesday, August 12th. Please visit us then to see if you are our winner and to discover our new giveaway for the day. See you tomorrow!

Katrina Southwick. The only time I can think that we were stranded somewhere was the night I was in labor. I had been having contractions for 24 hours and all I wanted was a snow cone. So we drove to the nearest one but when we got out my husband locked his set of keys and my purse containing the other set in the car. We ended up walking home but we were still locked out of the house. So I hung out on the front porch until the cops came and unlocked the car. All this while having contractions with our first little girl.

Greg and Diana said...

Diana Baun - We could use some of the Shake flashlights, our daughter always kills the batteries in the regular ones because she loves playing with them and we never know the batteries are dead until we try to use them!!

Ora Bridges: We were caught in a winter storm on I-80. We were returning to Indianapolis in January and the road closed in Iowa City, Iowa. Big trucks were stopped all along the roads. We finally made it to an off ramp, but couldn't get off to get gas. A man on his 4-wheeler was finally going home -but said he would make one more trip to the gas station to get us a can of gas - he had been doing this all day. We had to drive the wrong way on the interstate back one exit to find an motel - "The Ironman" - and it happened to be the last room availabe. This was before cellphones or emerency kits were available. We travel more prepared now. The road was closed three days. Several people lost their live that night.

jenny eckton: Three years ago this month, a supercell (tornado on the ground) blasted through our neighborhood. We were without power for days. Neighbors shared generators to preserve what we could of frozen & refrigerated foods; we ate meals of whatever anyone had on-hand in our front yard (we happened to have the most shade in the evening). Sections of vinyl fences were missing, and vinyl siding had blown off of a few houses. Luckily, no one was hurt.

Lorena Woodbury - I'm impressed with the 5 gallon water storage tank. We buy flats of bottled water from our local price clubs, but then grab bottles on our way to the park or work. Having a big tank like that, stacked up in multiples would help us keep the water we need for the storage instead of for impulse thirst.
