The Guardian 4 Person Essential Survival Kit is a shelter-in-place kit for a family of four facing days when the water main breaks or the plumbing fails. Forty-eight water pouches and 40 purification tablets keep everyone drinking, four deluxe hygiene kits and biohazard waste bags help keep the house clean, and if you choose the 5-gallon bucket, its toilet seat lid gives the family a toilet.
Prefer a bag? The rolling bag and dry bag each weigh 20 lb.
Why it works:
- Drinking water when the taps run dry: Four people can keep drinking while the main is down: forty-eight 4 oz water pouches and four 1-liter hydration bags with straw, plus 40 water purification tablets that each purify 1 liter.
- A toilet when the plumbing is out: The 5-gallon bucket with toilet seat lid holds the kit, then gives the household a place to go. It measures 24" L x 18" W x 18" H, weighs 22 lb and comes with 4 biohazard waste bags for disposal.
- Wash up as a family of four: Daily hygiene carries on without running water. The kit packs 4 deluxe hygiene kits along with a bar of soap, a washcloth, toothpaste and a twin blade razor, plus 3 maxi pads, a pocket tissue pack, 9 wet wipes and 12 disposable face masks.
- Meals that wait in storage: Four 3,600-calorie food bars sit beside the water. Food and water carry a 5-year shelf life and are meant to provide nutrition for 72 hours.
- Warmth and light for the whole house: When the furnace and lights go with the utilities, the kit has 4 emergency blankets, 4 emergency ponchos and 4 hand/body warmers, along with an AM/FM radio (batteries included), a hand rechargeable flashlight (never needs batteries) and a 30+ hour candle.
Who it's built for:
For a family of four staying home through a water or power outage, it covers drinking water, meals and hygiene in one kit, and the bucket option adds a toilet. For schools, offices and agencies, it stages supplies for a team of four who may have to stay put inside the building.
