Quick Overview

The Guardian Survival Bucket Kit for 2 People is a 72-hour emergency kit for a couple or two roommates, with food, water, a tube tent, a NOAA radio and flashlight, tools, sanitation and first aid in one bucket.

Each of you gets an emergency blanket, a poncho, a hand/body warmer and a hygiene kit. The 2-person tube tent, the radio and flashlight, the tools and a 107-piece deluxe soft shell first aid kit are shared, and the lid doubles as a toilet seat, with 2 toilet bags with chemicals and 2 air fresheners packed inside.

Food and water: 12 x 400-calorie food bars, 12 x 4 oz water pouches, 20 water purification tablets that each purify 1 liter and 2 x 1-liter hydration bags with straw. Light: a 4-in-1 dynamo NOAA radio and flashlight with solar charging, a 30+ hour candle and an emergency bright stick. Tools include a 12" flat pry bar with 3 nail slots and 50 ft nylon rope. The bucket measures 15" L x 15" W x 15" H and weighs 22 lb.

Guardian Survival states a 5-year shelf life for the food and water, meant to provide nutrition for 72 hours. Put the bucket on a shelf you both know, inspect it on a set schedule, check any dates printed on the components and restock anything you use.

Field Application Steps

1. STAGE THE BUCKET: Pick one spot you both pass every day, such as a closet shelf, a pantry or under a desk at work. Keep the lid on and the area around it clear.

2. INVENTORY ON ARRIVAL: Open the lid and match every item to the contents list: food and water, tools and first aid, light and communication, shelter and warmth, and hygiene and sanitation. Close the lid when every item is accounted for.

3. LEARN THE LAYOUT TOGETHER: Walk through the kit with the other person so you both know where the radio and flashlight, first aid kit, work gloves and pry bar sit. Agree on who reaches for what.

4. GET LIGHT AND NEWS: When the power goes out, charge the radio and flashlight by its dynamo or solar charging as its directions describe, and tune in for instructions from local officials. Set out the emergency bright stick for steady light.

5. SHELTER AND WARM UP: If you have to leave home or need cover, set up the 2-person tube tent, using the tarp and nylon rope where they help. Each of you takes an emergency blanket, a poncho and a hand/body warmer.

6. SHARE FOOD AND WATER: Share the 12 food bars and 12 water pouches between the two of you, following the directions printed on their packaging. Guardian Survival states they are meant to provide nutrition for 72 hours. Use the purification tablets only as their packaging directs.

7. SANITATION AND TOOLS: If the toilets cannot be used, empty the bucket, set the toilet seat lid on top and use a toilet bag with chemicals as its packaging directs. Wear the work gloves and safety goggles when you handle the pry bar or pocket knife.

8. FIRST AID AND RESTOCK: For minor injuries, open the 107-piece first aid kit, find the item by name and use it as its packaging and your training allow. Call 911 in an emergency, and afterward replace every item you used.
