PBS Survivability Kit

The kit is organized into clear categories: first aid, shelter and warmth, hydration, light and power, signaling, tools, hygiene, and documents. Each category holds the components that category needs to do its job — nothing decorative, nothing filler. The full breakdown lives on the product page so you can see exactly what's there before you decide.

Real. Trauma pads, pressure dressings, a CPR shield, antiseptic, burn gel, and meds for the small things that get bigger fast. Single-use items are sealed and dated. If you've taken a basic first-aid class, you'll recognize the contents.

Hydration covers the first stretch — sealed pouches plus a way to safely treat more from a tap, a stream, or a hotel bathroom. Enough to keep you steady through the period most disruptions actually last.

A multi-tool, a fixed blade for cutting and prying, a hand-crank radio with USB-out, a flashlight, a head-lamp, and a few specialty items for fire, signaling, and repair. Practical pieces — the kind you'd actually reach for.

Yes. A waterproof pouch sized for IDs, insurance cards, copies of prescriptions, cash, and a small notepad with a pencil. The pouch doubles as a dry sleeve for a phone if you need to walk through weather.

Yes. Light, signaling, warmth, water, and a charged way to call out are the four things that matter when a car stops being a car. The kit handles all four without you having to think about it at 11pm in the cold.

Grab the kit, walk out. The bag is sized to carry comfortably while moving with family or pets. Inside you have a way to see in stairwells, document your ID, treat a cut from breaking glass, and stay warm until you're somewhere safe.

Yes — the kit is built for the moment after the road closes or the power fails. Light, hydration, food, weather protection, and a radio that works without cell signal. Your phone's battery is also covered by the hand-crank charger.

Warmth is the priority and the kit treats it that way: thermal blanket, hand and body warmers, layers you can add over what you're wearing. Light and signaling cover the second hour. Most people who get caught short in winter aren't unprepared people — they're prepared people who didn't have the right things in the car. This is the right things in the car.

First-aid consumables: most components are good for several years; the kit ships with a small printed card noting the closest expiry so you know when to refresh. Sealed water carries the manufacture date stamped on the pouch. Hardware items — tools, bag, light, radio — don't expire.

The bag is a 600D weather-resistant shell with reinforced stitching at the strap and base seams. Components are sourced from established suppliers in the outdoor and medical-supply industries. The team reviews each batch before it ships — if a component doesn't pass, it doesn't go in the box.

The radio and lights are hand-crank capable, so they don't depend on a battery being fresh. The flashlight uses a long-shelf battery rated for ten years of standby. If a battery-powered component fails on first use, replace it under the warranty — that's what it's for.

People who want to handle the small disruptions and the rare big ones with the same calm — without becoming a hobbyist, without converting the garage, without thinking about it most days. If you drive, travel, rent, own, have a family, or live alone in a city, the kit fits.

No. Components are picked so the obvious use is the right use. The kit ships with a short printed guide that fits in the front pocket — one page per category, plain language. If you can follow a recipe, you can use the kit.

Most owners keep one in the trunk of the car and a second by the front door. Apartment dwellers often choose the coat closet near the exit. The bag tolerates trunk temperatures across most climates; if you live somewhere with extreme summer heat in a parked car, the closet is the better spot.

It fits a standard car trunk corner or under a coat hook. The full kit is comfortable to carry on one shoulder for the time it takes to walk out of a building or to a neighbor. Exact weight and dimensions are listed in the spec table on the product page.

If a component fails on first use or arrives damaged, contact support and a replacement ships at no cost. The bag itself carries a one-year workmanship warranty against seam and zipper failures under normal use.

Yes — within 30 days of delivery, unopened kits ship back for a full refund. If the seal has been broken, support reviews on a case-by-case basis; the goal is that nobody keeps a kit they don't want.

Standard shipping is free on every order. Continental US delivery typically arrives in 3–5 business days. Expedited options — same-day or next-day where available — are offered at checkout for an additional charge. International is quoted at checkout.

Add a note at checkout and the kit ships without pricing on the packing slip. A short card explaining what's inside is included so the recipient understands the gift the moment they open it.
