Stay Home Ready Bundle

• Two complete home emergency kits in one bundle
• Covers food, water, light, warmth, and information for a family of four
• Save 10% off both kits purchased separately
• Stay Home Survival Planner included, available on your order confirmation page after checkout

This bundle is for families of four who want to be ready to shelter in place. It's a strong fit if your area experiences winter storms, grid failures, or extended outages. It's also smart for anyone who has been meaning to get prepared but wanted one complete solution and not a piecemeal approach.

• Guardian 4-Person Home Emergency Survival Kit
• Power Outage Premium Kit
• Stay Home Survival Planner included. Your download link appears on the order confirmation page right after checkout, so grab it before you close the page.

• Multi-day power outages from storms, grid failure, or extreme weather
  
• Winter emergencies where leaving home isn't safe or possible
  
• Shelter-in-place orders during regional emergencies
  
• Families who want a stay-home plan separate from an evacuation kit

• Store both kits in the same spot. If they are separated, one of them will not get grabbed in a hurry.
• The Guardian is your survival foundation. The Power Outage Premium is your light and information layer. They work together rather than substituting for each other.
• Check food and water expiration dates twice a year. Pairing it with the daylight saving time changes means you never have to remember a date.
• Walk your family through both kits before you need them. A five-minute conversation about where everything is prevents real confusion later.
• If anyone in the house uses a device that needs power, such as a CPAP, nebulizer, or electric wheelchair, work out a backup plan specific to that device. This bundle covers general outage supplies and does not replace medical-specific planning.
• A battery carbon monoxide detector is worth adding to a stay-home kit. It matters most exactly when the power is out and your wired one is not working.
• Pair this bundle with a written household plan: who calls whom, where you meet, and what happens if one family member is not home. The kits cover supplies. The plan covers everything else.

How long do outages actually last?

Longer than they used to. The U.S. Energy Information Administration found the average customer went about 11 hours without power in 2024, nearly double the average of the previous decade, with major storms accounting for roughly 80% of it. Strip those events out and the baseline is steady at about two hours a year.

So the ordinary outage is short. The one worth preparing for is the storm-driven one, and those run into days rather than hours. In February 2021, Winter Storm Uri left millions of Texas households without power for days in below-freezing temperatures.

Ready.gov, FEMA's preparedness campaign, recommends every household be able to manage on its own for at least 72 hours. This bundle covers that for a family of four, with the light and information layer that a long outage actually calls for.
