Description
The 5 person essential survival kit rolling bag backpack is a two-bag emergency preparedness system that splits 72 hours of Essential tier supplies across a wheeled rolling bag and a dedicated backpack, giving your family of five maximum flexibility during an evacuation. Whether you are loading into a vehicle, sheltering in place, or splitting supplies between adults, the dual-bag approach ensures supplies are accessible, portable, and distributed for the unexpected.
The rolling bag handles the bulk of the gear — food bars, water pouches, and larger shelter items — while the backpack carries the tools and essentials that an individual may need to access quickly: AM/FM radio, hand flashlight, first aid supplies, hygiene kits, and personal gear. Together the two bags hold 60 water pouches, emergency food bars, 50 water purification tablets, 5 hydration bags (all 5-year shelf life), a small bandage kit, pocket knife, safety goggles, sewing kit, notepad, 30+ hour candle, deluxe hygiene kits, emergency blankets, and biohazard bags. This is the most versatile container configuration in our 5-person Essential lineup.

Frequently Asked Questions
How are the supplies divided between the rolling bag and the backpack?
The rolling bag is designed to hold the heavier, bulkier items: water pouches, food bars, shelter supplies, and candle. The backpack carries lighter, more frequently accessed items such as the radio, flashlight, first aid kit, hygiene supplies, and tools. The exact packing may vary, but the system is optimized so either bag can be grabbed independently in a split-second evacuation.
What is the shelf life of the food and water supplies?
All food bars and water pouches are rated for a 5-year shelf life. Store the bags in a cool, dry area and inspect the contents annually. Rotate items approaching their expiration dates to maintain peak preparedness.
Can we order this kit with custom branding for an organization?
Yes. Custom patch branding is available for bulk orders. A one-time artwork setup fee covers logo conversion and production-ready artwork creation. Contact our customer service team to discuss minimum order quantities and pricing for branded kits.
Is there a version of this kit in just a dry bag or just a rolling bag?
Yes. The 5 person Essential Survival Kit is also available in a standalone dry bag (SKU: WSK-SKX5-BDB) and is expected to be available as a standalone rolling bag. The rolling bag + backpack combo (this product) is ideal for families that want split-load capability and multiple carry options during an evacuation.
