FAQs

What kind of disasters can your backpacks be used for?

We looked at the most common scenarios you would likely face in NZ such a Earthquakes, Flooding, Tsunami, House Fires, Wildfires, Volcanoes, Cyclones, Tornadoes, Evacuations and Stay at Home orders and came up with a solution to aid each one. While the backpacks contain a lot of gear in them we made them lightweight and portable to be usable in more situations. The backpacks are designed to be a solid base that you can personalise with your own additions if you wish.

How much do the backpacks weigh?

Approximate weights:
1 Person with no rations - 5.3kg
1 person with rations - 5.8kg
2 Person with no rations - 5.6kg
2 person with rations - 6.4 kg
4 Person with no rations - 5.9kg
4 person with rations - 7.4kg

How long will the backpack last?

We have filled the backpacks with components that have a shelf life of a minimum 5 years if stored in a cool and dry environment (Except for the toothpaste which is 2 years). We offer a replenishment service where we will replace any expiring items with brand new items for a nominal fee. We will contact you prior to your 5 year purchase anniversary to discuss. If you need to replace anything sooner please contact us via email or livechat.

We dispatch from our Papamoa Warehouse in the Bay of Plenty and deliver to all addresses across New Zealand including rural addresses via Courierpost.

2 person backpack

Very inclusive. Thank you.
Good value for my Buddy dog and I

Shona Sloan

Cheaper than if you filled it yourself

The supplies were packed neatly and compactly without being squished. The components are of good quality. Nothing I could find that was skimped on. If you were to fill the backpack with the same items for 4 but sourced it yourself, you wont get it under $500 including buying the backpack separately. Super impressed with the backpack itself. Nice and light with ample space left to add some of your own items.

Lodewikus Erasmus

Sturdy and high quality.

Looking forward to filling my own supplementary pack. Very impressed with the materials and construction of this backpack. Not just a waterproof grab bag.

Absolutely brilliant I have added to

Love it has everything you need and is great to carry

Pauline

02/26/2025

Very happy overall. Excellent quality backpack with everything as described. The only improvement we could suggest would be to have a better sized knife as the one in the multi-tool is very small. Appreciate the book which gives great prompts and is good for encouraging conversations around emergency preparedness. Many thanks!
