72-Hour Kit Gear Guide
These are the five items Kenzie packs in Episode 1. Prices change often, so we don't list them. Use the buttons to check the current price. Links are affiliate links (disclosure).
Start with water and light, then add a piece each payday. You don't have to buy it all at once.
Sawyer Squeeze Water Filter (SP129)
Kenzie's way to make more water instead of hauling it. Fill the pouch, screw on the filter, squeeze. It removes bacteria and protozoa, but it does not handle chemical contamination such as fuel-tainted floodwater.
