Common Questions

Frequently asked

What should I buy first for a preparedness kit?

Start with water purification - it's the highest-leverage item. A quality squeeze filter or gravity system covers most scenarios. From there, add a first aid kit, emergency food, and a carry platform.

How much water do I need to store for a 72-hour kit?

Plan for at least one gallon per person per day for drinking and basic sanitation. If space allows, store more and pair it with a reliable filter or purifier for backup.

What is the difference between a filter and a purifier?

Filters remove sediment and many microorganisms, while purifiers are designed to handle a broader range of biological threats. The right choice depends on how and where you expect to use it.
