Quick Overview

The Mayday Deluxe Emergency Bucket Kit 3 Person is a stay-at-home kit for a household of three, with food bars, water pouches, sanitation, light, tools and a 54-piece first aid kit packed in one 5-gallon Honey Bucket.

Each of the three people gets a solar blanket, a poncho and a dust mask of their own. The Dynamo flashlight/radio, the tools, the pair of leather palm gloves, the 54-piece first aid kit and the sanitation set are shared. With its lid, the Honey Bucket doubles as a toilet seat, and a 12-pack of liners, T-5 chemical toilet disinfectant and 6 wet naps are packed inside.

Food and water: 3 x 2400 calorie food bars, 18 pouches of water and 50 water purification tablets. Light and signal: a Dynamo flashlight/radio, a 12-hour light stick, 50 waterproof matches and a 5-in-1 whistle. Tools: a gas and water shut off tool, a 15" pry bar, a utility knife and a roll of duct tape (10 yards). The kit weighs approx. 19 lbs, and the SKU is MD13038.

Stage the bucket where every adult in the home can reach it, inspect it on a set schedule, and check any dates printed on the components. Replace anything you use or open, and restock from the contents list before the lid goes back on.

Field Application Steps

1. STAGE THE BUCKET: Pick a spot every adult in the home can reach, such as a hall closet, garage shelf or pantry. At approx. 19 lbs, store it low and tell everyone in the house where it sits.

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

3. LEARN THE LAYOUT: Walk through the bucket as a household so each adult knows where the Dynamo flashlight/radio, the 54-piece first aid kit, the leather palm gloves and the gas and water shut off tool sit. Assign one solar blanket, poncho and dust mask to each person.

4. GET LIGHT AND NEWS: When the power goes out, open the bucket, charge the Dynamo flashlight/radio as its own directions describe, and tune in for instructions from local officials. Activate the 12-hour light stick as its packaging directs for steady light.

5. PROTECT EACH PERSON: Hand each person a solar blanket, a poncho and a dust mask. Put on the leather palm gloves from the bucket before you handle the pry bar, utility knife or duct tape.

6. SHARE FOOD AND WATER: Share the 2400 calorie food bars and the pouches of water, following the directions printed on their packaging. Use the water purification tablets only as their packaging directs.

7. SANITATION AND UTILITIES: If the toilet is out of service, empty the bucket, fit a liner, set the lid on as a toilet seat and use the T-5 chemical toilet disinfectant as its packaging directs. Use the gas and water shut off tool only as local officials or your utility direct.

8. FIRST AID AND RESTOCK: For minor injuries, open the 54-piece first aid kit, find the item by its name and use it as its packaging and your training allow. Call 911 in an emergency, and replace every item you used afterward.
