You can't predict the emergency. You can decide right now whether you'll be ready for it.

Most families mean to get prepared. They just never quite get around to it until the 
storm is already on the radar, the evacuation order is already issued, and the window 
to think clearly has closed.

The Guardian Go Bag is for the family that's done waiting. This 72-hour Family Emergency 
Kit has everything your household needs for the first 72 hours of any disaster: food, 
water, first aid, shelter, light, and communication.  Pre-packed, organized, and ready 
to grab at a moment's notice.

Why families choose the Guardian Go Bag:

Grab and go in under a minute. Everything is pre-packed and organized. No assembly, 
no checklist, no scrambling under pressure.

Food and water that actually work. USA-made, US Coast Guard-approved SOS brand  food rations.  Calorie-dense, great tasting, and non-thirst inducing, with a 5-year shelf 
life. Paired with individual water pouches and Chlor-Floc purification pouches for clean water when the tap isn't an option.

Stay informed when it matters most. The included Weather Band AM/FM radio keeps you 
connected to emergency alerts even when cell towers and power go down.  The one item 
most families wish they had and don't.

Real emergency coverage. A comprehensive 118-piece first aid kit, reflective sleeping bags, emergency ponchos, hand warmers, a multitool knife, rope, and light sticks. Built for what actually happens, not just what you plan for.

The knowledge to match the gear. The included Emergency Preparedness Guidebook covers first aid, evacuation planning, and step-by-step guidance for hurricanes, earthquakes, wildfires, pandemics, nuclear events, and more.  Written for real families, not 
hardcore preppers.

Discreet by design. The sturdy red backpack is built to carry and still leaves room for medications, documents, a change of clothes, or anything specific to your household's needs.

Whether you're a couple, a growing family, or caring for an aging loved one, the Guardian Go Bag gives you the foundation every prepared household needs.

Choose your kit size below - 2-person or 4-person, and be prepared before you ever need to be.

Scenarios This Kit Covers

The Guardian Go Bag is built for the full range of emergencies families actually face:

  • Natural Disasters: Hurricanes, earthquakes, tornadoes, wildfires, winter storms, and floods can strike with little warning
  • Extended Power Outages
  • Evacuation Scenarios
  • Shelter-in-Place Events
  • Secondary Disasters, earthquakes trigger fires, hurricanes cause flooding

Pro Tips

  • Store it where you'll actually use it. Keep your Guardian Go Bag near your main exit; a hall closet, garage, or mudroom. It should be the first thing you reach for, not something you have to hunt down.
  • Personalize the extra space. The backpack is designed to leave room for the things only you know your family needs: prescription medications, important documents, phone chargers, baby supplies, or a comfort item for young kids.
  • Check it once a year. While the SOS food rations and water pouches have a 5-year shelf life, make it a habit to inspect the kit annually and replace batteries, check the first aid kit, and update any personal items you've added.
  • Read the guidebook before you need it. The Emergency Preparedness Guidebook is most valuable when you've read it in advance. Spend 30 minutes with it now so you're not reading it for the first time under stress.
  • Two kits for larger families. The 4-person kit comes with 2 backpacks so supplies can be distributed across family members, making evacuation faster and more manageable.

Size & Storage

2-Person Kit: 19" x 15" x 10" Weight: 15 lbs. 4-Person Kit: 19.5" x 10" x 15" Weight: 25 lbs. (split across 2 backpacks) The Guardian Go Bag is sized to fit in a hall closet, under a bed, in the trunk of your car, or in a garage storage area. The 4-person kit comes with 2 separate backpacks so the load can be distributed, particularly helpful for families with older kids or multiple adults.

Good to Know...

A 2025 survey of 1,200 U.S. adults found that just 5% of homes have a fully stocked emergency supply kit and 1 in 5 have none of the recommended supplies at all.

Meanwhile, the U.S. experienced 27 billion-dollar natural disasters in 2024 alone.

The gap between awareness and action is real and this kit is exactly where to close it.


Common question: "Is this kit enough for a real emergency?"

The Guardian Go Bag covers the critical first 72 hours, the window when outside help is most limited and self-sufficiency matters most. The SOS food rations provide 1,200 calories per person per day, the water pouches and Chlor-Floc purification pouches cover hydration needs, and the Emergency Preparedness Guidebook gives you a step-by-step plan for what to do next.

As a complete Family Emergency Kit and Family Bug Out Bag in one, the Guardian Go Bag is the most practical starting point for families who want real preparedness without the complexity.
