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.
Two weeks of food, water, light, power and sanitation for a household that stays put.
Ships free in Canada.
Seventy-two hours is the Canadian minimum. The American Red Cross and the US CDC both suggest aiming for two weeks of supplies at home if you can. Home Base 14 is that two-week tier, sized for four people and delivered as one system instead of forty separate purchases.
It combines our Family Week food and water approach at double the quantity with the Blackout Kit, a 300 Wh power station for phones, lights and a router, a bucket toilet, and both first aid and bleed-control kits. Six stackable totes and sixteen water containers take about one square metre of floor.

The Government of Canada's guidance is at least 72 hours. The two-week figure comes from the American Red Cross and the US CDC, which suggest a two-week supply at home where possible. We offer it for households that want more margin than the minimum, particularly those in rural areas or with family members who cannot easily leave.
Yes. Add one Pantry 14 per additional person, plus 56 L of water storage each (one Home Water Kit covers that with room to spare). The lighting, power, sanitation and first aid components already suit a household of six.
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.
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.
Yes. Unopened kits can be returned within 30 days of delivery for a refund. See the Shipping & Returns page for the details.
