A 2 person Deluxe Guardian 72 hour kit retailed at $89.99
My Dad always told me, BE PREPARED!

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:

Here are some of the other specialty items they offer:

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.

Sarah Chilton: the only recent emergency situation we were in was when my husband was temporarily laid off....kind of a different (but very real) type of emergency that we should all be prepared for. Taught us a LOT!
Becky Packer: a 2-person 72 hr kit. We have a kit of food, but there's so much other stuff in there that we would need!

Becky Packer: the closest thing to an emergency was a flood in my hometown in 1997. The water to the city was shut off so we had a week without running water and used our emergency water supply.
Catey Ball
Sarah Chilton: I visited Milan Maternity (by the way, it said there was an error), BishopBuilt (way cool signs!), and Beads Bangles and Bands (I have always wanted one of those)

Tammy Adams - In 2007 Tulsa had a really big ice storm that brought down almost all the power lines. We were without power for 5 days in 40 degree temps! I learned a lot about what I need to be prepared!
Jennifer Hahn
Candice Baird
Ashlie Cowley: My husband was driving home, when the timing belt went out on the car. He was stuck on the side of the freeway during the cold northern Utah winter. Luckily there was a fleece blanket in the trunk to keep him warm.
Loren Peck - our most recent emergency situation came a week or so after we attended an emergency preparedness class. Talk about timing! The second weekend in July a canal broke and flooded all the surrounding streets. We were lucky to be on high enough ground that we didn't sustain any damage, but the power was out and we couldn't drive out of our street for most of the day. Not really an emergency compared to our neighbors that suffered muddy flooded basements and condemned houses, not to mention the family that lost their lives in the mudslide. I definitely want to be prepared for the worst if this happens again.
Candice Baird: I really need the Children's 72 hour kit for my kids!

brittany preston
Nola Bird: Growing up in Michigan we lost power alot. One cold winter we had to use a generator for awhile and we could only sleep in one room in the house b/c the rest were so cold!
Jennifer Hahn: I was involved in the hurricanes of 2004. My husband and I were on our honeymoon on a cruise. Our cruise ship had to make drastic changes to our itinerary and go the opposite direction. Our port was closed so we had to stay on the ship for an extra night. We were worried that our hotel wouldn't be standing when we finally docked, but luckily it was!
brittany preston: we could really use one of those 72 hour kits for our home!
Nilanthi King: The first emergency that came to mind was when I was on a small airplane (two seats on each side of the aisle), and a guy in the row in front of me started having a seizure. The plane was diverted to the nearest airport, where we were delayed then put on the next available flight to our original destination.
Candice Baird: I visited Bummis, Primoambino, Sugar Pop cools stuff.

Beth Jensen: I lived in northern Ontario a few years ago, and we had a power outage that covered most of Ontario. The power was out for just over a full day....We had ice cream for dinner because it was melting and we didn't have the means to cook anything else.
Auburn Clawson
Auburn Clawson: A 72 hour kit would be awesome to have!

Kendra Halterman: I visited Beautify My Blog, Say it on the Wall, and Sugar Pop Creations
Nichole cook: Right before Mother's Day, my 4 year old daughter had a 40lbs. rock fall on her foot. I am grateful that my parents were prepared with first aide equipments to bandage her up enough until we could get to the Emergency room. Once there, we found that she had fractured 4 toes and crushed the top of her foot. Almost lost one of the toes. One of life's miracles she didn't lose it. It will be a little deformed as she gets older, but at least she still has it. -Always be prepared!!!

Crystal Adams - We really need 72 hour kits. We've had backpacks for several years to make our own, but that's as far as we've gotten. So pathetic.
Crystal Adams - A couple classmates and I went on a hike and decided to cut back down the hill instead of following the switchbacks. We couldn't find the trail again and came to a logged area we hadn't seen before. Luckily my mom taught me to follow water, and it led us out right above our campsite!

Our power was out this past winter for several hours. My son was just a few days old and we were panticed on how we were going to keep him warm. Lucky we had a generator and were able to access our natural gas fireplace to heat our room. The situation made us realize how unprepared we were.

There was a windstorm that knocked the power out at our house and all houses in our area. We had a new baby and no way to heat our home. We had to go to a friends house for the night. It would have been nice to be prepared.
Aimee- I live is St. Louis which has had a couple of bad years with several 3-5 day electrical outages and crazy ice storms.
