The Guardian 1 Person Essential Survival Kit is an emergency kit for one adult who wants more than the bare basics. When the power and running water are gone and you are on your own, it lets you keep a routine: wash up, shave, brush your teeth and eat, with a deluxe hygiene kit packed beside your food and water.
Add a multi-function pocket knife, safety goggles and a 30+ hour candle, and the backpack, wheeled duffel or dry bag still weighs just 14 lb.
Why it works:
- Keep a daily routine without running water: Washing up and brushing your teeth stay possible when the taps are dry. A deluxe hygiene kit comes with soap, shampoo and conditioner, a toothbrush and toothpaste, a twin blade razor and a washcloth, and 3 maxi pads, 9 wet wipes and a biohazard waste bag ride alongside.
- Water on hand, and a way to treat more: Twelve 4 oz water pouches and one 3,600-calorie food bar sit ready, while 10 water purification tablets (each purifies 1 liter) and a 1-liter hydration bag with straw stretch your supply. The food and water have a 5-year shelf life and are meant to provide nutrition for 72 hours.
- Handle small repairs and minor injuries yourself: A short list of tools covers fixes and scrapes when no one else is around: a multi-function pocket knife, a pair of safety goggles, a small sewing kit, a notepad and pencil, a 5-in-1 emergency whistle and a 44-piece first aid kit.
- Light, warmth and news after dark: Evenings without power are easier to manage with a hand rechargeable flashlight (never needs batteries), an AM/FM radio (batteries included), a 30+ hour candle and a flint starter. An emergency blanket, an emergency poncho and a hand/body warmer cover the cold, and a deck of survival playing cards (52 cards) fills the slow hours.
- One carry weight across three bags: Pick the carrier that fits your space without changing the load. The backpack, wheeled duffel and dry bag each weigh 14 lb, and the 5-gallon bucket with toilet seat lid is 15" on every side and weighs 22 lb.
Who it's built for:
If you live alone in an apartment or commute by yourself, it is a personal kit that covers hygiene as well as food, water and light. For employers and offices, it is a one-per-person kit that lets each staff member wash up and stay clean during an outage at work.
