Blackout Kit
Two lanterns, four headlamps, a 20,000 mAh power bank, an AM/FM crank radio, a battery CO alarm and lithium batteries in one drawer-sized case.
For the emergencies you sit out at home: long outages, boil-water advisories and winter storms.
Two lanterns, four headlamps, a 20,000 mAh power bank, an AM/FM crank radio, a battery CO alarm and lithium batteries in one drawer-sized case.
A complete shelter-at-home system: 56 person-days of food, 224 L of water storage with gravity filtration, the Blackout Kit, a 300 Wh power station, sanitation and first aid.
A 300 Wh portable power station with a 300 W pure sine-wave outlet. Roughly 15 to 20 phone charges, or a router for 17 hours.
About 1,000 Wh with an 1,800 W outlet. Runs a full-size fridge for 10 to 17 hours, a CPAP for about three nights, or a router for more than two days.
About 2,000 Wh with a 2,400 W outlet and a 200 W folding solar panel. Runs a fridge for 21 to 34 hours and recharges from the sun.
Four stackable 20 L containers with spigots, a 6 L gravity filter, 100 chlorine dioxide tablets, a siphon and a water treatment card.
A 20 L bucket toilet with a snap-on seat, 30 liners with gelling powder, toilet paper, wipes, soap, sanitizer and gloves.
Most Canadian emergencies do not involve leaving. They involve a cold, dark house and a wait. Home systems cover that: light for every room, backup power sized honestly, stored water at the federal 4 L per person per day, and sanitation when the plumbing stops.
Start with the Blackout Kit and the Home Water Kit. Add a power station sized to what you need to run, and step up to Home Base 14 for a complete two-week system.
About 300 Wh keeps phones, lights and a Wi-Fi router going. About 1,000 Wh adds a CPAP for roughly three nights or a fridge for most of a day. About 2,000 Wh with solar runs a fridge for about a day or more and recharges from the sun in summer.
No. Fuel-burning generators, barbecues, camp stoves and outdoor heaters produce carbon monoxide and must never be used indoors or in a garage. Health Canada advises running a generator at least 6 metres from any building. Battery power stations are safe indoors.
About 4 L per person per day: 2 L for drinking and 2 L for food preparation and hygiene. For four people that is 48 L for 72 hours and 224 L for two weeks.
