Quick Overview

The Guardian Survival Elite Bug Out Bag is a 72-hour survival kit for evacuating on your own, with food, water, camp gear, shelter, light, tools and first aid in a red backpack or a red or camo wheeled duffel.

Every carrier holds the same camp gear: a portable stove, a stainless steel cup, a utensil set, a multi-function shovel, a tarp, nylon rope, a roll of duct tape, work gloves and a multi-function pocket knife. Shelter is a 2-person tube tent, an emergency sleeping bag, an emergency poncho and a hand/body warmer. Light comes from a 30+ hour candle, an emergency bright stick and a flint starter.

All carriers pack 12 x 4 oz water pouches, 10 purification tablets that each purify 1 liter and a 1-liter hydration bag with straw. Food is a 3,600-calorie food bar in the backpack or 9 x 400-calorie food bars in either duffel. The backpack and red duffel add a dynamo + solar NOAA weather radio and flashlight and a 107-piece first aid kit. The camo duffel has a 4-in-1 dynamo flashlight and a deluxe first aid kit.

Guardian Survival states the food and water are meant to provide nutrition for 72 hours, with a 5-year shelf life. Stage the bag by your exit or in your car, inspect it on a set schedule, check any dates printed on the components and restock after use.

Field Application Steps

1. CHOOSE AND STAGE: Carry the red backpack if you would leave on foot, or roll a wheeled duffel if you would leave by car. Stage it by the door or in the vehicle, and tell someone where it is.

2. INVENTORY ON ARRIVAL: Open the bag and match every item to the contents list for your carrier. Note which light and which first aid kit your carrier holds, since they differ between the backpack and the duffels.

3. GET LIGHT AND NEWS: Power your 4-in-1 dynamo unit as its instructions direct. In the backpack and red duffel it is also a NOAA weather radio, so tune in and follow instructions from local officials.

4. SIGNAL AND PLAN: Keep the 5-in-1 emergency whistle on you and use it to draw attention if you need help. Write your route, contacts and plans on the notepad and pencil before you leave.

5. MAKE CAMP: Set up the 2-person tube tent and the tarp as their packaging directs, using the nylon rope, duct tape and work gloves where needed. Use the emergency sleeping bag, poncho and hand/body warmer to stay warm and dry.

6. FOOD, WATER AND THE STOVE: Eat and drink from the food bars and water pouches following their packaging. Purify more water with the tablets and hydration bag as the tablet packaging directs. Use the portable stove outdoors only, as its packaging directs. Stove fuel is not included.

7. FIRST AID AND HYGIENE: Use your carrier's first aid kit for minor injuries, as its packaging and your training allow. Keep clean with the deluxe hygiene kit and wet wipes, and close used items in the biohazard waste bag.

8. REPORT AND RESTOCK: Call 911 for any emergency the bag cannot handle. When you are back, replace every item you used or opened, including the food and water, and restage the bag.
