Ready-made vs. building your own
Buying every item separately usually costs €250–€350 and many hours of research. A ready-made kit is cheaper, complete and packed in one sturdy backpack you can grab instantly.
What to look for when buying
- Water purification (filter or tablets)
- A radio that works without mains power
- A real first aid kit, not just plasters
- Warmth: thermal blankets and shelter
- Light that works for days
- Enough for the whole household
