Leaving home for three days on your own takes more than food and a flashlight. The Guardian Elite Bug Out Bag adds camp gear: a portable stove, a stainless steel cup and utensil set, a multi-function shovel, a tarp and a 2-person tube tent.
Its food and water are meant to provide nutrition for 72 hours and keep for 5 years. Choose a red backpack to carry on foot or a red or camo wheeled duffel to roll to the car. Some contents vary by carrier.
Why it works:
- Stove, cup and utensils on board: a portable stove, a stainless steel cup and a utensil set.
- Dig, cover and tie down: a multi-function shovel, a tarp, nylon rope, duct tape, work gloves and a multi-function pocket knife.
- Shelter for the night: a 2-person tube tent, an emergency sleeping bag, an emergency poncho and a hand/body warmer.
- 72 hours of food and water: 12 x 4 oz water pouches, 10 purification tablets (each purifies 1 liter) and a hydration bag with straw, with a 3,600-calorie food bar in the backpack or 9 x 400-calorie food bars in either duffel.
- Light, fire and a signal: a 30+ hour candle, an emergency bright stick, a flint starter, a 5-in-1 emergency whistle and a 4-in-1 dynamo flashlight, which in the backpack and red duffel is also a solar NOAA weather radio.
Who it's built for:
For anyone planning to evacuate on their own, it is a 72-hour bag with camp gear built in. For agencies and employers, it is a ready-packed 72-hour bag to issue to staff.
