Overview
About Duo 72
Two people do not need two radios. Duo 72 doubles what is personal (food, water, bivvies, ponchos, N95s, headlamps) and shares what can be shared (radio, first aid, tools), which is why it costs less than two Core bags.
It follows the same federal 72-hour list as Go Bag 72 Core and carries a single refresh-by date.
What it does not do
We would sooner you knew now.
- Carries 3 L of water for two people. Guidance is 2 L each per day to drink, so plan to refill and treat.
- The ration bars are a survival ration, not full meals.
- Contains no medications of any kind. Add your own prescriptions and pain relievers; there is a labelled pocket for them.
- Ships without lighters, matches or fuel, which cannot travel in the same parcel. Add a lighter before you store the kit.

Questions
Why isn't there three full days of water in the bag?
Government of Canada guidance is about 2 L per person per day to drink and 4 L in total, so 72 hours is 6 to 12 kg of water for one person. That is more than a go-bag can sensibly carry, so the bag holds a first supply plus the means to treat more. Keep the rest of your water at home.
How long does the kit last before I need to replace anything?
Food rations and water pouches are good for five years from manufacture, and the shortest-lived items set the schedule for the whole kit. We print a single refresh-by date inside the lid. Check the kit once a year, as federal guidance suggests, and replace anything you have used.
Does the first aid kit include pain relievers or other medication?
No. Our first aid kits are drug-free, which keeps them legal to ship everywhere in Canada and means nothing inside expires in two years. Add your own prescriptions, pain relievers and allergy medication to the labelled pocket.
Can I return it?
Yes. Unopened kits can be returned within 30 days of delivery for a refund. See the Shipping & Returns page for the details.
