What to pack and plan before you need the rest of this site

Survival kits, grab bags, and home stockpiles. 400 article titles. Full checklists stay in the app.

The direct answer

Kits are the only topic you can finish on a quiet Tuesday. A bag you have never opened is a box of surprises. The useful unit is: kit + a drill you have actually run.

Three kit layers show up across the manuals. Level 1: on-body (water, light, blade, ferro, whistle, copies of IDs). Level 2: bag you can grab (72-hour water and food, radio, spare clothes, copies of documents). Level 3: home or vehicle cache (water in litres, sanitation, tools, a way to cook when the grid is down). Contents change by climate.

400 titles sit in this bucket: containers, packing lists, and leftover field references that did not fit Field Care or Field Operations. Family plans, CERT drills, and injury copy live on those sibling hubs. The checklists themselves are in the app.

Three kit layers: what each one is for

If you only build one, build Level 1 and a water plan. Fancy bags without water are costumes.

Level 1: on body
Water, light, cutting tool, ferro rod, whistle, copies of ID.
Level 2: grab bag
72 hours water + calories, radio, clothes, documents, sanitation.
Level 3: cache
Home or vehicle: stored water, cooking without gas, tools.
Plan
Out-of-area contact, two rally points, who grabs which bag. Walk it once.
