  • [THEME MUSIC]

  • This episode of DIY Tryin was proudly

  • made possible by Subaru.

  • Welcome to DIY Tryin.

  • Earthquake!

  • I'm Patrick Norton.

  • I'm Michael Hand.

  • And was perhaps the single worst dramatic reenactment

  • of an earthquake will ever see on DIY Tryin.

  • We'll put an earthquake affect on there.

  • It will look very convincing.

  • Fix it and post.

  • This is a weird but fun episode-- kind of.

  • This is a planning episode.

  • This is a preparing episode.

  • This is an episode about building your own emergency

  • kit.

  • I recently got partnered up with Subaru to drive a 2015 legacy

  • and put to some pretty extreme challenges involving-- well,

  • kind of like the elements.

  • You were facing off against the elements,

  • and that's what we're doing this episode.

  • Yeah, because as our friend Anthony used to say,

  • nature hates you.

  • If you go to Home Depot or Lowe's or Amazon.com and search

  • for emergency kit, it will be like a little backpack.

  • I've seen emergency supplies for a family of four

  • being sold for $130 and it's a $3 backpack

  • that's going to fall apart if you put any weight in it.

  • Or maybe the backpack is completely full

  • with six packs of water, a pair of fricking

  • latex gloves, a couple of dust masks,

  • two ponchos and a mylar space blanket.

  • You can do better for your family.

  • And probably for your individual self, and possibly

  • for less money.

  • So ready.gov has a really good resource of the basic supplies

  • that you need.

  • We kind of went off of that and we made a list of 10 things

  • that you need in your next emergency bag.

  • Basically-- water, food, shelter, communications,

  • first aid, tools.

  • You need something to store it in.

  • You need somewhere safe to store it.

  • You need somewhere to carry or some way

  • to carry it if you have to leave home-- if you get evacuated

  • and you have to abandon ship, as it were.

  • So I'm a one person family.

  • So I have this military--

  • Party of one!

  • Yes.

  • That's not sad at all.

  • So I have this military duffel bag

  • that I think is kind of perfect for it.

  • Because it's a duffel bag, it also his shoulder straps,

  • and it's big enough to hold everything that I need.

  • Yeah.

  • You could actually throw a sleeping bag in there.

  • You could throw spare clothes in there.

  • If you have garbage bags, you can

  • put the sleeping bag in a garbage bag,

  • zip tie that thing shut or tie a knot in the top

  • and keep it dry.

  • And being dry is a big deal if you are in a hurricane

  • and you want to stay warm.

  • Because a lot of what we're dealing with here

  • is hypothermia or hyperthermia.

  • Water, food, shelter, comms, tools to get into your house,

  • if your house is partially damaged,

  • or get out of your house if your house is partially damaged.

  • So FEMA suggests that you be ready

  • for three days worth of disasters--

  • 72 hours.

  • Three days worth of water, food, all that.

  • Do us a favor-- practice and prepare-- like number zero.

  • Zero.

  • Zero.

  • We're getting to the list, now.

  • Yes.

  • Practice and prepare now.

  • Have first aid.

  • Know first aid.

  • Staring at somebody who's bleeding and unconscious

  • and not breathing is not the time to think,

  • I can go to firstaid.com and learn about this.

  • So number one, we kind of mentioned this-- water.

  • So you want to have one gallon of water, per person, per day.

  • That can stack up.

  • Yes.

  • So four bottles of water, which is 64 ounces, which

  • is half of your daily supply-- weighs four pounds.

  • So three gallons of water is 24 pounds

  • per person, which for my family would quickly

  • add up to 96 pounds.

  • You're probably not going to carry all of that.

  • What you can do is carry bottles-- bottles of water.

  • Have a couple of flats of like a bunch of bottles of water.

  • Each flat is worth a five gallons-- each flat

  • is five gallons of water.

  • I've got 5 or 10 flats.

  • And just store it in the basement.

  • So I can do that when I get home.

  • Food-- super meal spec massively ready coast guard food.

  • Full on tactical recon rations, comma, FOOD in capital letters.

  • Like it's usually like this brick

  • of food in the emergency kit box.

  • I guess you break off a piece and you gnaw it like hard tack,

  • if you're on a British ship in the 19th centruy.

  • Sounds appetizing.

  • Look, in my get home bag, I almost always

  • have a jar of peanut butter and a spoon.

  • Yes.

  • So that's an important thing to note.

  • Have canned or non perishable foods,

  • but have stuff that you're going to eat-- your family's

  • going to eat.

  • Because you're not going to enjoy the emergency at all,

  • it's just gross stuff.

  • Just because you can choke just about anything down

  • with enough hot sauce, doesn't mean you

  • should be in that situation.

  • So in my bag, I have actual Indian food.

  • Is that vacuum packed?

  • It's vacuum packed.

  • And it's already cooked?

  • Yes.

  • That's awesome.

  • You can just eat it.

  • I don't know if it's the best thing,

  • but I enjoy it at home so-- why not?

  • Awesome.

  • So number 3-- maybe they should be number 2-- shelter.

  • So it depends a lot on what region you're in.

  • If you're in Palm Dale in August,

  • are you going to burn in the sun?

  • Yeah.

  • If you're in the Montana in January,

  • are you going to freeze?

  • So be prepared on what your region has.

  • Space blankets, I think they're cool.

  • But they can feel-- they're very noisy.

  • If you're large, there don't really cover a lot of you.

  • So a sleeping bag would be best, but that's also very bulky.

  • So this is kind of an in between thing.

  • It's a thermal-- I don't know--

  • A thermal bivouac-- a thermal bivvy.

  • So this is something that you can Velcro around you,

  • but it also is very warm.

  • And it's very compact.

  • So it's a good in between.

  • And it's waterproof, in case you're

  • in a watery part of the world.

  • You know, a pop up shelter, or even a tarp

  • to hide underneath if you're in Phoenix00

  • that could be a really big deal. if you've

  • burned out your house.

  • Number 4--

  • How are you going to poop?

  • Everybody does it.

  • Everybody does it.

  • We were just look at that book.

  • So this is a luggable loo, or more accurately-- well, I

  • can even pop up.

  • This is a luggable loo, and this is a five gallon can,

  • five gallon bucket with a garbage can liner inside of it.

  • And you put the luggable loo lid on top.

  • And this-- throw in some cat poop-- Cat poop!

  • Don't pup the cat poop in.

  • Throw some cat litter in on top of your business.

  • Put the lid down.

  • And if you have a family, especially with teenagers--

  • don't turn it upside down like that.

  • All right -- number 5-- a crank radio.

  • So there's a lot of combo things that are very useful.

  • One, you don't have to rely on batteries.

  • But also, they have AM/FM radio, so

  • that you can know what's going on around you.

  • Weather radio.

  • And they have sirens so you can signal people.

  • Like I said, these are really cool.

  • And a lot of them have built-in chargers.

  • So you can charge your phone, your devices,

  • or any-- this one does 12v things.

  • This is an Eton one that you really like.

  • Yeah, they do one that's about half this size.

  • Cost $15 off of at Amazon.

  • Cost $30, $35 at your local big box store.

  • Have an external charger for your phone,

  • that's an even better step.

  • Yeah this is like 12,000 mil amp batteries.

  • This is like four, six, full charges for my phone.

  • But having some kind of a crank charger for your phone,

  • is an even better idea.

  • And even better than that, is knowing

  • how long you have to crank this to make your phone like talk

  • for 10 minutes.

  • Be prepared, and test out all your equipment.

  • Flashlights, headlamps are good.

  • They have crank flashlights as well.

  • Just make sure they you have something that you can see,

  • because electricity might be out.

  • Yeah, and lots and lots of batteries

  • for your battery powered devices.

  • I think headlamps are much more useful than flashlights.

  • Ljusa-- Ikea has hand cranked flashlight.

  • Those are brilliant for kids, because they

  • have to crack it to use it and then

  • they won't waste your batteries.

  • Everybody says you need to have a whistle for signalling.

  • (WHISTLE) That one works, the other one in the package

  • didn't.

  • So again, check things before you try to use them.

  • Waterproof matches and waterproof container.

  • I've got a BioLite stove, and we're

  • going to cook water and have warm food,

  • and it's going to charge my phone at the same time.

  • Not if you can't light it.

  • And everybody thinks, I've got a fire starter.

  • I'm going to be totally safe.

  • I've got a fire starter.

  • I've got a fire starter.

  • Look, this looks amazing, and it's awesome,

  • and it's really entertaining at night.

  • But until you've actually started a fire

  • with one of these things, you haven't actually

  • started a fire with one of these things.

  • It takes practice.

  • Practice everything before the emergency.

  • Also, kind of thrown into this is dust masks,

  • because it can get dusty.

  • There could be lots of debris.

  • Just keep your lungs safe, as well.

  • I have a pair of mechanics gloves-- these 4x liners.

  • And these are amazing, they make them last forever.

  • Pretty much everywhere I go.

  • For $2, you can have an awesome pair of traditional suede work

  • gloves, which will keep your hands from being torn to shreds

  • while you're clearing debris after horrible things have

  • happened.

  • Number 9-- baby wipes.

  • Love baby wipes!

  • These are amazing, basically for sanitation.

  • You can use them in all aspects of life.

  • And not just for babies.

  • And actually, baby wipes and a toothbrush

  • can make you feel 1,000% better if you're covered

  • with scum and feeling really, really awful.

  • Clean socks and underwear in a sealed Ziploc bag

  • can be amazing.

  • By the way, 10-- make it personal.

  • Yeah, these are all very general things,

  • but you know what your family needs to survive.

  • So if you need to have specific prescriptions,

  • prescription glasses--

  • In the bag.

  • Pet food--

  • Can you see without your glasses?

  • Not very well.

  • Spare pair of glasses-- in the bag.

  • Do you have a dog?

  • No.

  • You don't need dog food in the bag.

  • I got a dog, I need dog food-- in the bag.

  • So that's kind of the overview of everything that you need.

  • Check the ready.gov website, they have a very good thing.

  • And once you have all these things,

  • make sure that you store it in a good place.

  • Because you don't have want to have these in a place

  • that you can't access during the disaster.

  • Don't store the emergency kit in the house

  • in earthquake country.

  • Don't store the emergency kit in the basement in country.

  • Figure out what you need to carry,

  • and how you can carry it if you need to abandon the house.

  • That's a big deal.

  • And I think the last thing-- just, you're not Rambo.

  • So just make sure that you have all these things,

  • because you need them to survive.

  • You're not special forces, you're not a Navy SEAL,

  • you're probably not even a recon Marine or somebody

  • who's experienced in wilderness survival.

  • And if you are experienced in wilderness survival

  • and you're in a city, it may be an entirely more complicated

  • situation to deal with.

  • So hopefully our list is helpful to you.

  • Again, this is all stuff that you

  • need to do before the disaster.

  • Yeah.

  • So please do go out and do make these things.

  • Because no matter where you are, you're

  • going to need something because disasters happen everywhere.

  • And even if they don't, they'll probably

  • happen just because watched this video and didn't get prepared.

  • Do us a favor-- comment down below

  • or tweet @DIYTyin if you have some suggestions

  • for your emergency bag, go bag, emergency kit

  • or get home bag that you think we should have.

  • sure there's something that we missed.
