The following features are highlighted within this package that show the commitment that Emergency Case places on you and your family's survival needs.

Shelter & Safety - This unit contains 1, 2-person tent that is water resistant and fire resistant. The polyester material prevents the tent from damage due to environmental stress, and allows it retain its shape even after repeated use.

In addition, this package also contains 4 nylon sleeping bags and 4 thermo emergency sleeping bags. You can choose to double up one nylon bag with one thermo bag for added warmth, so even those who sleep outside the tent can enjoy secure sleep.

These sheltering items can be further aided by using the 7-in-1 shovel. This shovel is included so that prepared family can build and fashion environmental sheltering units.

The survival package also includes a number of items to secure you from environmental and human-based dangers. Rain ponchos and face masks are included to keep you dry and safe from airborne agents that inhibit breathing. 

It also includes a rechargeable radio that can be charged with a hand crank. High-visibility vests, mirrors and whistles and included to deter animals or harmful strangers from causing trouble, and a 6-in-1 knife adds protection and allows you to break open jammed doors.

First Aid & Hygiene

In natural environments, hygiene and proper healing items can be vital to your family's survival. Emergency Case includes a top-notch assortment of first aid and hygienic items to keep you in top condition during your survival situation. 

The first aid kit contains items to help relieve and heal from several types of injuries. This first aid kit allows you to dress and clean cuts and burns, along with painkilling medication. 

In cases of more severs injuries like large wounds and broken bones, this kit includes a real tourniquet to stop heavy bleeding and and a splint for broken limbs. 

The Hygienic package comes with a number of items that allow you to keep your skin, teeth and mouth clean. In a survival situation, hygiene can be one of the easiest human necessities to ignore or be unprepared for, and this kit makes sure to have you covered.

Food, Water, and Entertainment 

Out of all the problems that can arise in survival situations, proper nutrition is perhaps the most concerning for people in survival situations. Many people are not very well-versed in foraging environmental edibles, while other survival scenarios can be devoid of food and water entirely.

The food and water package in this kit leaves you well-prepared to supply yourself with the proper nutrition that also allows you conserve precious resources. Ready-to-eat sandwiches and nutrient-dense food rations (in bar-form) supply you with the ready nutrients and energy to brave to survival scenario you are faced with.

Since the food requires no preparation, you and your family do not need to waste time building a fire to cook, nor water to aid in the cooking of food. This is extremely useful in emergency situations, where time, energy and water are extremely vital resources.

When it comes to water, Emergency Case doesn't provide water in the package itself. Instead, it offers a full-fledged water filtration system that kills 99.9% of bacteria and can filter 100,000 gallons of water. 

This feature has a number of benefits. First, it allows you to make clean water from the environment, making you less reliant on rationing pre-packed water. Secondly, it allows you to carry less water at a time if you are close to a water source. This benefits your energy and storage space.

The water package comes with a 2.5 gallon, leak-proof water pouches and 2 large water storing containers for easy pouring and carrying. They can be carried in bags as well as being hand-held friendly. 

Finally, this kit comes with pens, paper, pencils and playing cards to keep your family entertained and upbeat. The rigor of a survival situation can be frightening, scary and emotionally taxing. With a number of group and individual activities to choose from, you can help your family keep a high spirit during their survival situation. 

The Legacy Premium Family Survival Kit is supplied with an impressive array of survival necessities for you and your family. This package covers a number of primary needs for your family, which include sheltering, water, first aid, hygiene, visibility and security.

​Now, note that the emphasis on this is "gear." We didn't see any food with this option; however, that is certainly easily remedied by stocking up on that separately. And Legacy is very well known for its emergency foods. We'll cover that in a separate article.

Food, Water & Hygiene

Each food package comes with 6, 3600-calorie emergency rations for you and your family. The rations are packed with vital nutrients to keep your strength and energy up, and supplies enough for everyone to have 1200 calories per day.

Water supplies: Redfora includes 72 pre-filled water pouches, nearly twice the water pouches found in generic family packs. In addition, each person is supplied their own hydration bag, with a convenient straw for easy drinking.

If water runs dry, your family is secure with 60 water purification tablets in each package. Even if you run out of water pouches, you can re-supply your water reserves using these vital, water-filtering tablets. I just wish they included an actual filter.

Any good survival pack should come equipped with proper hygienic provisions. Soap, shampoo, toothpaste, combs, toothbrushes, washcloths and tissues are all included so that your family is clean both internally and externally. There are also 6 waste bags that can be used to store trash and other unwanted items.

Shelter, Safety, First Aid & Storage

The Complete Earthquake Bag comes loaded with an abundant amount of sleeping, safety, and storage materials.

Unlike many other survival packs, this group package comes with the right amount of tents and sleeping bags for each of your loved ones. With 3, 2-person tube tents and 6 Mylar sleeping bags, every member of your family is individually supplied with the same sleeping and shelter space.

In addition, Redfora includes both a rolling bag and a large, heavy-duty red backpack. Each bag comes with a large assortment of internal and external storage spaces that easily fit the contents of the package, as well as any extra vital items you have.

Some of the most impressive features within the bag come from the tools that help maintain communication and safety. Each member of your family has their own rain poncho, their own pair of hand and body warmers, and their own dust mask to amply protect from environmental stressors and dangers.

The kit includes a 50-foot nylon rope, mutli-functioning tool, safety googles, sturdy work gloves, waterproof matches and a sewing machine. These tools can help you build new materials that increase sheltering and safety capacities.

The 107 piece first aid kit comes with all that you need to treat the various minor injuries that can arise in a survival situation. You can properly treat cuts, scrapes, burns, bruises and other injuries with the tools in this first aid package.

Lastly, the hand-crank radio provides you the ultimate tool to stay informed and to communicate with the outside world. The radio not only charges without the need for batteries or electricity, but can also be used to charge phones and other devices.

This is extremely helpful for a number of reasons. The radio provides lighting which can be critical to outdoor visibility and navigation. Moreover, the phone-charging capacity give you the chance to contact important people and emergency responders.

Rescue Guard presents a survival package that equips you and your family with major essentials that will get you through a variety of disasters and other tumultuous, emergency situations.

This survival bag comes in 3 varieties, but the most suitable variety for families would be the Advanced package. The advanced package designed to provide you and you loved ones with 72 hours of essential tools and materials to protect your family's safety, provide them with warmth and shelter, and feed them during any emergency.

What's Included?

The list of materials that this emergency bag provides are meant to satisfy 4 primary concerns:

Shelter - Each kit comes with 2, 2-person tents and 4 sleeping bags with a matching number of survival blankets. This ensures that each member of your family sleeps in warmth and has a figurative "roof over their heads

Food & Water - There are 4 rations packs provided for each person, set to provide 72 hours of necessary nutrition. These rations are complemented by the survival kit's water supply, which also lasts for 3 days.

Protection From Environmental Dangers - The package includes special environmental safeguards that protect you and your family from various natural dangers such as the weather and dangerous animals. Rescue Guard includes 4 ponchos to protect from the rain, as well as 4 protective face masks to protect from airborne harm.

The addition of a fire starter gives you extra, added protection against the cold, which can be vital to survival efforts.

To add, this advanced package contains a multi-functional tool, axe and survival knife which gives you the ability to construct greater sheltering space. Moreover, these tools can be helpful in warding off danger. Lights from the wind-up radio, as well as two, hand-held lights, allow you to deter harmful intruders without physical harm.

First Aid - As a deluxe emergency bag, this kit supplies both a standard and advanced first aid kit. The deluxe kit allows you to handle a variety of injuries from minor to certain, moderately-serious injuries.

Visibility and Communication - As stated above, both the radio and the hand-held flashlights provide ample amounts of light to help you and yours to navigate your environment whenever you need to. Moreover, the radio has the additional feature of acting as a phone charger.

This is crucial to helping you communicate to the outside world and, most importantly, emergency help. Moreover, the lighting can be used to help emergency personnel find you, which can be extremely difficult in a number of rescue scenarios.

Not all survival situations require you to be inside. In fact, many disaster scenarios leave families stuck in their homes. Floods are a great example of this, and Legacy's Deluxe Survival Bug In Bag contains materials that allow you and your family to rise to the occasion and shelter-in-place.

This pack is meant to provide you with 3 primary needs that people must have in a home-based emergency situation: fuel, water and sanitation. These vital necessities are the most easily compromised in home-based survival scenario, and the Deluxe Survival Bug In Bag supplies what you need for all 3.

In addition to these three essentials, this pack provides a stove to help you cook your prep-ready food (canned goods and non-perishables), and eating utensils that help you and your family eat that food.

There are also several tools that are designed to help you access unreachable places in your home, as well as possibly helping you be ready when rescue teams arrive.
