Pre-Prepped Bags Ready to Buy!
Great starting point for a hurricane bag! As it comes with food, water, PPE, first aid, flashlight etc.
I noticed it does not have a radio which I highly recommend!
ReadyWise Survival Backpack, 5 Day Emergency Supply Bag
Another great starter kit for the season that gives the good basics making it easier to add on some of the additional later on (toiletries, a radio, batteries, extra flashlights, additional food, clothing etc)
Blue Seventy-Two Pro Series Red 72Hr Emergency Backpack
This backpack might be overkill! HOWEVER, options are out there depending on what you need and again always better to be over prepared than under. In a hurricane will you be making a tent…probably not! But there are other essentials in this kit that ...
Survival Kit 258 PCS w/ Water Filter & Tent
This bag is very similar to the one I bought my first hurricane season about 4 years ago. Most notably it can be hard to find Pre-Prepped bags that have food, water, first aid AND toiletries included as mine did which was an added bonus since it came...
Ready America 72 Hour Deluxe 1-Person Kit
Emergency Essential Toiletries
Folding toothbrushes are great for being compact and not taking up a lot of space within the bag! Especially if you have a lot of people to worry about!
CVS Folding Travel Toothbrush
These kits from CVS are a GREAT easy and inexpensive way to get the toiletries part of the bag out of the way if you’re choosing to fill up your bag on your own or your prepped bags didn’t come with it. Because these are usually meant for traveling l...
Convenience Kits International Woman on the Go 11-Piece Trial Travel Hygeine Kit
Men’s version of the toiletries kit! Again a convenient and inexpensive way to get the toiletries handled while also being compact enough to not take up too much space within the bag and still being essential!
Convenience Kits International Man on the Go 11-Piece Trial Travel Hygeine Kit
Sensodyne Extra Whitening Sensitive Whitening Toothpaste, 0.8 OZ
This recommendation is also listed in my Leaping Bunny Beauty List as it is cruelty free and a great soothing lotion. But the general idea for listing it is just to emphasize to bring lotion not everyone thinks it’s a great idea but you never know wh...
Eczema Honey Oatmeal Body Lotion
Again also recommending in another list of mine but this lip balm has SPF which is great for Florida. During the summer it’s easy to get sunburnt, dehydrated etc. Let’s not forget essentials even in our hurricane bags.
Phyto-Glow Lip Balm SPF 45 Clear - Naturium
I mean it’s florida, sure during a hurricane it’s rainy but after the hurricane if something happens it’s going to be hot and probably sunny. Have some skin protection JUST IN CASE!
Original SPF 50 Sunscreen Spray - Sun Bum
Prepped Food + Water
This is a portable walter filter straw! You can buy them at costco! They are also great for camping or hiking because of the portability. Because it’s a high level filter you can use it to simply drink from a straw from a pond, stream or freshwater l...
