Overview
About Family Week
Most emergencies in Canada are spent at home, waiting for the power or the water to come back. Family Week is built for that: 28 person-days of food, eight 14 L water containers (112 L, which is 4 L per person per day), a gravity filter for when the stored water runs out, and a bucket toilet for when the plumbing does not work.
It arrives as three stackable 60 L totes that fit under a stair or along a basement wall. A lift-out go pouch in the first tote holds the radio, lights, first aid kit and a day of rations in case you have to leave.
What it does not do
We would sooner you knew now.
- Water containers ship empty. Full, they weigh 112 kg; store them on a ground floor or basement slab.
- No stove is included. Freeze-dried meals can be made with cold water but are better hot.
- This is a home kit. Only the go pouch is meant to be carried.
- Contains no medications of any kind. Add your own prescriptions and pain relievers; there is a labelled pocket for them.

Questions
Where do I keep 112 litres of water?
The eight 14 L containers stack two-high and take about the floor space of a small bookcase. A basement, a closet floor or under a stair all work. Keep them out of sunlight and away from fuel or solvents, and replace the water once a year.
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.
