Rooms in this kit

Fill these supply rooms, then stop shopping.

Water Food Power Medical Shelter

Confirm live price and specs on Amazon. This is a seed catalog until Studio ingest replaces it.

Field treat · Water

Backup chemical treat for bottles in a go-bag. Check dose and wait time on the label.

Trail treat · Water

Hang-and-drip filter for creek or bathtub water when the tap fails.

Small flame · Food

Indoor use is a carbon-monoxide risk. Ventilate or cook outside.

Nest tools · Food

The pantry is useless if the only opener is electric. Keep two.

Night work · Power

Hands-free light for pipes, kids, and a dark driveway. Standard cells beat mystery USB-only lamps.

Alert nest · Power

Tone-alert weather radio with a crank so dead batteries do not silence the warning.

Clean air · Medical

For smoke, dust, and first aid. Confirm NIOSH labeling on the listing.

Field aid · Medical

Tourniquet, gauze, gloves. Learn the skill before you need the kit.

Seal room · Shelter

Ready.gov shelter-in-place kit: sheeting, scissors, tape. Practice the window seal once.

Carry roof · Shelter

For the bag, not the living room. Weight and packed size matter more than color.
