Quick answer
The THE SEVENTY2 Survival System is a 72-hour survival kit designed with input from first responders and special forces operators. It is best for anyone who wants a pre-vetted, field-tested emergency kit for one person.
Why a 72-hour kit?
Most survival situations resolve within 72 hours, but those first three days are the most critical. Having a kit that covers shelter, water, fire, first aid, and signaling can make the difference between a bad day and a tragedy. The THE SEVENTY2 Survival System is built around this window, packing everything you need for the first three days into a single, organized package.
What makes this kit different?
Unlike many generic survival kits, the THE SEVENTY2 Survival System was designed in collaboration with first responders, doctors, special forces operators, and mountain guides. This means the contents are not random; they are chosen based on real-world experience. The kit is also waterproof and field-tested, so you can trust it in harsh conditions.
How to use the kit: decision rules
- Immediate action: If you are in an emergency, open the kit and assess your immediate needs: shelter, water, fire, or first aid. The kit is organized by category, so you can quickly grab what you need. Do not open the kit until you need it; keep it sealed and stored in an accessible location.
- Shelter and warmth: Use the included shelter components (e.g., emergency blanket or bivvy) to protect yourself from wind, rain, or cold. Set up shelter before dark or before weather worsens. Practice setting up the shelter once before an emergency so you can do it quickly when stressed.
- Water and hydration: Locate the water purification or storage items. Treat any water source before drinking. If you have a water container, fill it as soon as you find a safe source. Dehydration is a primary risk; prioritize water within the first hour.
- Fire starting: Use the fire-starting tools (e.g., ferro rod, lighter, or tinder) to build a fire for warmth, cooking, or signaling. Practice using the fire starter before you need it. Keep fire-starting items dry and in a sealed bag if the kit is opened.
- First aid and signaling: Treat any injuries with the first aid supplies. Use the signaling items (e.g., whistle, mirror, or light) to attract attention if you are lost or need rescue. Signal for help during daylight hours when possible; sound carries farther at night.
