Fully Prepared for the First 72 Hours of a Crisis
Power outages, water supply failures, severe weather events, or other emergencies can occur at any time – often without warning. In its guide “Preparing for Crises and Disasters” (edition 11/2025), the German Federal Office of Civil Protection and Disaster Assistance (BBK) recommends maintaining emergency supplies for at least 72 hours. The BSSD Defence Home Emergency Kit combines exactly the components needed during this critical period: food supplies, drinking water, first aid, hygiene, information, and lighting.
This means you and your family are not left without support in an emergency but have a well-designed basic supply kit that is ready for immediate use.
Contents of the 72-Hour Emergency Kit
🍽️ Food – TREK’N EAT Day Ration Pack
A complete daily ration including breakfast, main meals, snacks, and beverages. Gentle dehydration preserves taste and important nutrients while keeping weight and storage space to a minimum. Preparation only requires water – quick and simple, even with limited equipment.
Depending on the option you choose, you will receive 3-day ration packs for 1 person or 6-day ration packs for 2 people. This provides food for up to 72 hours, depending on the number of people selected.
💧 Drinking Water Supply – Foldable Canister
The food-grade foldable water container ensures safe storage and transport of drinking water. It can be folded down to save space when empty and remains stable and stackable when filled.
