Quick Overview

The Guardian Survival 1 Person Necessity Survival Kit is a ready-made emergency kit for one person, with food, water, light, an AM/FM radio, warmth and first aid packed in a single carrier.

Every carrier holds the same supplies. Food and water include six 4 oz water pouches, one 3,600-calorie food bar, 10 water purification tablets that each purify 1 liter, and a 1-liter hydration bag with straw. Tools and light include a 5-in-1 emergency whistle, an AM/FM radio with batteries included, a hand rechargeable flashlight that never needs batteries, a flint starter and a deck of 52 survival playing cards.

Shelter and hygiene supplies include an emergency blanket, an emergency poncho, a hand/body warmer, a 44-piece first aid kit, 9 wet wipes, a pack of pocket tissues and 3 disposable face masks. Guardian Survival states the food and water carry a 5-year shelf life and are meant to provide nutrition for 72 hours. The backpack and dry bag weigh 6 lb, the wheeled duffel 12 lb, and the 5-gallon bucket with toilet seat lid 22 lb.

Readiness comes down to knowing where the kit is and what is in it. Stage it where you can grab it on the way out, inspect it on a set schedule, check any dates printed on the components, and restock anything you use.

Field Application Steps

1. STAGE THE KIT: Pick one spot you pass on your way out: a hall closet, under a desk or the trunk of your car. Tell anyone you live with where it is.

2. INVENTORY ON ARRIVAL: Open the carrier and match every item to the contents list. Learn where the radio, flashlight, whistle and first aid kit sit in the carrier so you can find them in the dark.

3. GET LIGHT AND INFORMATION: When the power goes out, charge the hand rechargeable flashlight by hand, then turn on the AM/FM radio and follow instructions from local officials.

4. SIGNAL IF YOU NEED HELP: Keep the 5-in-1 emergency whistle on you. If you are trapped or need help, use it to draw attention instead of shouting.

5. MANAGE FOOD AND WATER: Drink from the 4 oz water pouches and eat from the 3,600-calorie food bar. Guardian Survival states they are meant to provide nutrition for 72 hours. Use the purification tablets and hydration bag when you need to treat more water, following the tablet packaging.

6. STAY WARM AND DRY: Put on the emergency poncho in rain or wind. Wrap up in the emergency blanket and use the hand/body warmer when you get cold.

7. HANDLE MINOR INJURIES AND STAY CLEAN: Use the 44-piece first aid kit for small cuts and scrapes. Wash hands with the wet wipes when water is short, and use the disposable face masks as their packaging directs.

8. RESTOCK AFTER USE: When the emergency is over, replace every item you used or opened so the kit is ready for the next one.
