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!

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 said...

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.

Jenn said...

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!

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.

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!!!
