The 72-Hour Emergency Kit Mistake Almost Everyone Makes

The 72-Hour Emergency Kit Mistake Almost Everyone Makes
Most people don’t realise how unprepared they are… until it’s too late.
If an emergency hit tonight, would you really be ready for the next 72 hours?

Extreme weather, power outages, and supply disruptions are becoming more common — and the truth is, help may not arrive as quickly as we expect.

In this video, I walk you through a simple, realistic 72-hour emergency kit designed especially for people over 60.
No panic. No fear-mongering. Just practical preparation that gives peace of mind.

In this video, we cover:

✔ The essential items most people forget
✔ Why small water bottles matter more than you think
✔ How electrolytes can prevent dehydration and fatigue
✔ Medications, documents, and personal needs often overlooked
✔ How to build your kit step-by-step without overspending

This isn’t about doomsday thinking — it’s about being able to look after yourself and those you love if things go sideways.
