Sized for six people across 72 hours, this rolling bag includes 72 individual water pouches and emergency food bars (5-year shelf life), a small bandage first aid kit, an AM/FM emergency radio for real-time disaster broadcasts, a hand flashlight, emergency blankets and ponchos to maintain body temperature, hand warmers for cold-weather protection, and basic hygiene supplies — tissues, wet wipes, and face masks.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do the food and water supplies remain good in storage?

Both the emergency food bars and pre-packaged water pouches in this kit carry a 5-year shelf life. Store the rolling bag in a stable, climate-controlled environment and inspect all contents once a year. This annual check ensures every item remains within its use-by date so the kit is genuinely ready when you need it.

Is the rolling bag easy for children or elderly family members to use?

Yes. The wheeled design and pull handle are specifically intended to make a large, fully stocked group kit accessible to any member of a household, regardless of age or physical ability. Children can pull it alongside adults during an evacuation, and elderly family members do not need to bear any weight on their shoulders or back. This is one of the primary reasons many large families choose a rolling bag over a dry bag or backpack.

What is the best way to store this kit in a home?

Store the rolling bag near an exit — a hallway closet, garage, or entryway — so it can be grabbed immediately during an emergency. Avoid attics or areas with extreme heat fluctuations, as high temperatures degrade both food bars and water pouches more quickly. A cool interior closet or climate-controlled storage area is ideal for maintaining the 5-year shelf life of the supplies.
