Description
The 5 person necessity survival kit dry bag provides a family of five with the core emergency supplies they need to survive 72 hours after a disaster, packed in a waterproof dry bag that seals out rain and moisture during evacuation. The Necessity tier is our most budget-conscious preparedness option, focusing exclusively on the essentials: food, water, basic first aid, shelter, and hygiene — all the supplies you actually need without the added cost of premium extras.
The dry bag form factor adds an important layer of protection for families in flood-prone areas or regions where wet evacuation conditions are likely. The roll-top closure keeps all contents bone-dry even in heavy rain, and the shoulder strap makes the bag easy to carry during an emergency departure. Inside you will find 60 individual water pouches, emergency food bars with a 5-year shelf life, a small bandage first aid kit, AM/FM emergency radio, hand flashlight, emergency blankets, emergency ponchos, hand warmers, plus tissues, wet wipes, and face masks for basic hygiene needs. An affordable, dependable foundation of preparedness for any five-person household.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long do the food and water supplies stay safe to use?
All food bars and individual water pouches in this kit are rated for a 5-year shelf life. Store the dry bag in a cool, dry location and check expiration dates once a year. Replacing items before they expire ensures your family always has a fully operational emergency kit.
Is the dry bag completely waterproof?
Yes. The dry bag uses a roll-top closure that, when rolled down tightly three or more times, creates a waterproof seal. It is designed to protect contents during heavy rain and surface flooding encountered during evacuation. It is not intended for prolonged submersion, but it will keep your supplies dry in standard emergency weather scenarios.
Can this kit be upgraded to a higher tier later?
The Necessity kit can serve as a starting foundation, and we encourage customers to supplement it with additional first aid supplies, tools, and hygiene items over time. If you would like a pre-assembled higher tier, consider our 5 Person Essential Survival Kit (WSK-SKX5-BDB) or the 5 Person Comfort Survival Kit (WSK-SKT5-BDB) for a more comprehensive solution.
What is the difference between the Necessity tier and higher tiers for 5 people?
For five people, the Necessity kit includes 60 water pouches, food bars, a small bandage kit, AM/FM radio, hand flashlight, emergency blankets, ponchos, warmers, and basic hygiene items. The Essential tier adds deluxe hygiene kits, pocket knife, safety goggles, sewing kit, notepad, 30+ hour candle, 50 purification tablets, and biohazard bags. The Comfort tier adds sleeping bags, tube tents, a 100+ piece deluxe first aid kit, work gloves, nylon rope, and a 4-in-1 dynamo flashlight.
