The Shelter In Place Kit is a complete long-term home survival system designed to keep you and your household safe during extended emergencies—blackouts, natural disasters, supply chain disruptions, or civil unrest.
Unlike basic 72-hour kits, this provides 2+ weeks of food, water, medical supplies, and essential survival gear stored in waterproof, crush-resistant totes.
Available in 1-, 2-, 3-, and 4-person configurations, it's built for families, couples, or individuals who need reliable preparedness without the guesswork.
Why It Works
Comprehensive Coverage
Each kit includes 78 unique items—from emergency food and water to first aid, hygiene, lighting, communication tools, and shelter-in-place manuals.
You're not piecing together supplies from multiple sources; everything you need is organized and ready.
Built for Real Emergencies
This isn't a token gesture. With 543 to 1,352 total pieces (depending on household size), you get enough resources to outlast extended disruptions when leaving home isn't safe or possible.
Waterproof, Stackable, Durable
Heavy-duty plastic totes (27"W x 17"L x 12"H) protect supplies from water, pests, and damage.
They stack cleanly in basements, garages, or closets and leave room for personal items like medications or documents.
Expert Guidance Included
The Shelter In Place Manual and Household Emergency Planning Sheets walk you through decision-making, supply management, and communication protocols—so you act with confidence, not panic.
Scalable to Your Household
Choose the right size: 1-person for solo preparedness, 2-person for couples or parent + child, 3-person for small families, or 4-person for full household coverage.
Each person gets their own waterproof tote.

What It Is / What It Isn't
This is:
A complete, long-term home survival system for extended emergencies (2+ weeks). It's designed for households that need to shelter in place during disasters, blackouts, pandemics, or civil unrest.
This isn't:
A grab-and-go bug-out bag or a lightweight 72-hour kit. It's not designed to be divided among separate homes or carried on foot. It's built for stationary, home-based survival.
"Is this overkill for my area?"
Extended emergencies happen everywhere—ice storms, hurricanes, wildfires, power grid failures, and supply chain breakdowns don't discriminate by zip code. This kit ensures you're not dependent on outside help for 2+ weeks.
"Can I build this myself for less?"
You could, but sourcing 78 unique items, vetting quality, and organizing them into waterproof storage takes significant time and research. This kit is curated by survival experts and arrives ready to deploy.
"Will the food and supplies expire?"
Emergency food and water have long shelf lives (typically 5–25 years). Rotate perishable items like batteries and medications according to the manual's guidelines.
"Is this too heavy to move?"
Each tote weighs ~40 lbs—manageable for most adults. If mobility is a concern, store totes in the room where you'd shelter (basement, interior room) to avoid moving them during an emergency.
"What if I need more than 2 weeks?"
This kit provides a strong foundation. You can supplement with additional food, water, or supplies based on your specific risk profile and household needs.
