Gear picks

Water

Sawyer Squeeze Water Filter (SP129)

Kenzie's way to make more water instead of hauling it. Fill the pouch, screw on the filter, squeeze. It removes bacteria and protozoa, but it does not handle chemical contamination such as fuel-tainted floodwater.

Food

Datrex 3600 Emergency Food Bar (72-hour pack)

No-cook, no-water calories for three days, sized for a bag. Kenzie's verdict: a bit dry, like a coconut shortbread. Add a few foods you actually enjoy for morale.

Folds down tiny and reflects body heat. A 4-pack covers a small family plus a spare. Pair with dry socks, a beanie, and a poncho.
