A good emergency kit is simple: first aid, fire, water, shelter, cordage and a pack to carry it. These are the survival and preparedness items in our store, organized the way you'd build a go bag.
How to choose
- First aid first. Start with a stocked kit, then add what you know how to use.
- Carry two ways to make fire, such as a ferro rod plus a lighter.
- Water: a filter weighs little compared to the water you'd otherwise carry.
- Pack size: a daypack for a car kit, 40L+ for a three-day bag.
