Frequently Asked Questions

What does an emergency kit need to have in order to last at least three days?

A 72-hour survival kit should contain enough water and long-lasting, low-prep food to keep a person (or persons) fed and hydrated for three days. The CDC recommends at least one gallon of water per person per day, so four people would need access to 12 gallons of drinking water. The amount of food you need depends on the age of the people in your team, but an average adult needs at least 1,200 to 1,500 calories per day.

On top of that, it needs to hold a large first aid kit in case of injuries, a variety of outdoor survival tools (knives, fishing line, a multitool, a shovel, and an axe), and enough tents and/or sleeping bags to keep everyone safe and warm.

What size bag do I need to hold a 72-hour survival kit?

40-45 liters is the ideal size of a bag for a 72-hour survival kit, although any bag between 30 and 50 liters will do. The size truly depends on the size of the person carrying the bag and their tolerance for additional weight.

How much water do I need to include in a 3-day emergency kit?

The rule of thumb is one gallon per person per day – and that’s the bare minimum. Ideally, you’d want to drink more water than that. This is why water filters are a smarter solution for longer survival – they take up less space in your survival kit, and they can cleanse more than a gallon a day.
