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 one gallon per person per day — that's three gallons minimum for 72 hours. A portable water filter lets you extend that supply indefinitely when natural sources are available.
What is the difference between a filter and a purifier?
Filters remove bacteria and protozoa using physical barriers. Purifiers also eliminate viruses, typically using UV light or chemical treatment. For most backcountry use in North America, a quality filter is sufficient.
