The Guardian 2 Person Essential Survival Kit is a couples emergency kit for the days after a storm knocks out the power. Whether you ride it out at home or in the car, the two of you draw from one kit holding 24 water pouches, two 3,600-calorie food bars and two deluxe hygiene kits.
Warmth items come in pairs, the radio, flashlight and candle are shared, and the backpack, wheeled duffel or dry bag weighs 16 lb.
Why it works:
- A blanket, poncho and warmer for each of you: Nobody gives up their layer when the house cools down overnight. The kit holds 2 emergency blankets, 2 emergency ponchos and 2 hand/body warmers.
- Stay fresh as a pair while the lights are out: Grooming does not stop when the power does. You get 2 deluxe hygiene kits along with a toothbrush and toothpaste, a twin blade razor and shaving cream packet, a bar of soap and a washcloth, plus 3 maxi pads, 9 wet wipes, 6 disposable face masks and 2 biohazard waste bags.
- Rations counted for two: Food and water are sized for both of you: twenty-four 4 oz water pouches, two 3,600-calorie food bars and two 1-liter hydration bags with straw. The food and water have a 5-year shelf life and are meant to provide nutrition for 72 hours, while 20 water purification tablets (each purifies 1 liter) let you treat more.
- Shared gear that does not double the load: What two people can pass back and forth comes once: an AM/FM radio (batteries included), a hand rechargeable flashlight (never needs batteries), a 30+ hour candle, a flint starter, a 44-piece first aid kit and a multi-function pocket knife.
- 16 lb whichever bag you grab: Whether you pick the backpack, wheeled duffel or dry bag, the kit comes in at 16 lb, so the choice comes down to how you want to carry it.
Who it's built for:
For a couple, it puts both partners' food, water, warmth and hygiene in one kit you can keep in the hall closet or the car. For offices and agency teams, it equips two coworkers who share a work area or a vehicle.
