What is a 72-hour kit?
A 72-hour kit is a packed bag you grab when you have to leave home fast. It is also the bag you open if you stay through a storm and need your own food and water for three days.
What usually goes in one
Most kits ship with calorie bars and water pouches. You will also see a small first-aid kit, ponchos, mylar blankets, a whistle, and a light. Some bags add a hand-crank radio, purification tablets, or a tent. Those lists come from the maker and the Amazon listing. Each review on this site is written from that public record.
The kits on this site
The homepage has a shelf of kits. They are grouped by use case, price, and how many people they cover. Find the row that fits your household, read the page, then confirm the live listing before you buy.
Each kit page also runs a short baseline. Maker-claimed water sits next to FEMA's 1 gallon per person per day. Claimed calories sit next to a 2,000 calorie planning day we document on the site. The numbers are arithmetic from those claims.
